After a day of dreadfully aching and paining legs i set off to bed at around 8.20pm .. only to be woken at 9.30pm with Peter rubbing my arm to tell me that phyliss had just buzzed upstairs and that nanna wasn't well .. so I got up and went down ..
She got up to go to the loo and felt dizzy - so she sat down .. and tried to get up again but her leg's felt funny and was still dizzy .. so she banged on the wall .. Peter said afterwards that he could hearing a banging noise but thought it was the cat's ..
We rang the ambulance and they were here within 1/2 an hour .. by 10.30pm Phyliss and I were dressed and on our way to the hospital .. where we sat and sat and SAT and SAT ! .. they did EGC's, BT's and BP checks ..
At home her BP was 190 on 99 .. then at the hospital it went to 208 on 98 ... then about 1/2 an hour before leaving the hospital it went up to 218 on 99 .. at her last BP check about 20 mins before we left the hospital - it was down to 138 on 88 ... by 2am the dr had come in .. did some BT's which all came back clear ..
At 3am we walked out the hospital - FREEZING COLD .. I think I finally fell asleep around 3.30 and didn't wake up till 7am .. Phyliss got to bed around 3.30 also .. but had to be up at 5.30 cause Uncle Peter, who is staying with us wanted to watch the Lawn bowls that was on foxtel ..
As you can imagine we're all pretty well stuffed around here .. so looks like quite a few cat naps for us all today .......... the good thing is Nanna is OK :)
