When life happens and You don't know what to do
When life happens and you don't know what to do. When life throws a curve ball and you don't know what to do with that ball. Do you run or do you catch it and make the best of it. Well in my case I had caught it on Tuesday morning.
I was showing stroke symptoms and my husband thought that I was actually having a stroke. I am going to back track and start from the beginning. Tuesday was like any other morning. I got up and took care of our dog and I was fine.
I went into the bathroom and the room was spinning and I called my husband and I could not get up and walk. He grabbed my under the arms and helped me into the bedroom and I felt like I was falling. All I said was 911. He called in and said possible stroke.
The EMT's came and I could not walk and I was completely dead weight. I got down the stairs on my butt with the help of the EMT's. They took me out by chair to the stretcher and into the ambulance.
They took me to the hospital and they treated me for stroke but I could not remember anything only certain things so they did all these tests and they came back negative. In the meantime they put me into Neurology ICU for a closer watch. The next day my left side was numb and I could not feel anything.
So they tested me with an MRI and more blood work and still everything came back negative. They did an ultrasound on my heart and low and behold they found the problem a very minor problem and that is my heart is not pumping between 60-65 seconds per minute it is only pumping 50 seconds per minute.
It is a very minor problem nothing serious I just follow up with my primary and a cardiologist and take it from there. I am home now and feeling okay for the most part. Still, weak and working on the numbness and pins and needles in the left foot.
Not up to a 100% yet but the doctors said this was due to undue stress. So now I have to try to not become to stress out and take life a little easier. I will have plenty of time to work on WA now more than ever.
I take this as a warning to slow down, because if this would not have happened maybe later on down the road I might have had a heart attack instead of a stroke. But neither happen so I am thankful and blessed.
I have to take it easy and I am going to do just that. I am going to do more relaxation and meditation and more coloring and more focus on WA. Get my business the way it should be. I am making a lot of changes in my life all for the better.

Wow. That sounded really scary. I'm glad you are doing better and I am glad it wasn't too serious. We should all learn a lesson from this too relax more and not take everything so serious. Take care.
Exactly that is why I told my experience to the community was to give the community a wake-up call because stress and anxiety can be very dangerous to our lives. Stress can kill us very easy and not think twice about it.
This was to let everyone know that this is what could happen to them if not careful. But I am doing better and working on getting much better and taking doctor's orders. Taking that me time and relaxing more.

Hi Mary, I am glad it was only minor but I agree with you, it is best to make changes that will protect your health. It is a good thing you didn't wait to see what was happening, it could have become more serious. Relax and enjoy your days, it is time to spoil yourself.
