What a day -- after dinner, my DW of 41 years, Allyne, started having very worrisome symptoms -- very dizzy, "squishy feeling" (as she described it) in neck and chest, pins and needles sensation, weakness down the left side. It closely enough resembled the stroke she suffered 12 years ago that I took her to the ER, which is a good 40 mins away from here in the boonies. Her BP when we got there was 197 over 90 something -- pretty alarming. It had been 175/84 when I took it at home before we left.
Spent 8 hours in ER -- they ran batteries of tests, including CAT scan, and so far seems okay and bp backed down to 144.80 -- something like that, but they are keeping her overnight, and plan to run a few more tests in the morning.
Okay Superbob is going to try to catch a few hours sleep before going back. Okay, I am drinking coffee at 3:02 a.m. -- that's not very bright but needed it to calm my nerves. At least this has made me forget about my knee "crisis," which seems small potatoes indeed now.
Appreciate any thoughts, vibes, prayers, as always.
