Update on Portrait Shoot + W0LLE's 200 faves

Sun Jun 14, 2009, 11:45 AM
So, I was supposed to go on a portrait shoot today as a favor for my friend :iconsimple-touch: who wants family portraits taken. We made plans to do this last week, but she has to postpone for work...then we rescheduled for today only for ME to have to postpone because I woke up feeling crummy and it got worse and worse through the morning. I think I caught the bug one of my friends accidentally brought to work the other day (ugh)...I thought I'd skipped it, I'd done so well not to catch anything contagious for almost a year now - it's a record, don't laugh at me :)

*****Now update on my aunt (read below this paragraph for the original story***

She didn't have a stroke or a heart attack, but it ISN'T her blodd pressure medication causing her the issues either and they don't know what IS the problem. They're running tests as we speak and are keeping her overnight for observation and testing. My grandmother (her older sister) is staying with her through the night and will be keeping me in the loop. I'll let you know when I know...


*Original post*
Then it gets worse, no sob story just a quick mention. I called my mom to make sure she could pick me up from work tomorrow and she informs me that my aunt was taken to the hospital. The other day she fell out of a chair after her blood pressure went crazy low. I guess it happened again today and then she was showing signs of confusion, she kept turning her shirt backwards even though it was on right in the first place. Her reg. doctor thinks she's having a poor reaction to the dosage on her bp meds but since it dropped SO low, he told her to go to the ER cause it could be something else, or a combo. of the meds + another condition. I haven't heard word yet, but her son is freaking out, fearing she's had a stroke. I'm not going to fear the worst until I know for sure, until then I'll assume it's just a bad mix of meds and easily fixable with no damage.

Enough for now...mind is in too many places right now (yea there's more, but not worth mentioning just yet). Talk to you all later.

I guess they're resorted back the bp meds theory and it seems to be what the issue was. They're supposed to be letting her out tomorrow with a lower dose and a clean bill of health (well, as clean as it could be anyway).

I'm glad it turned out to just be a medication adjust. :D That is good news. She sounds like my parents (one 81, the other 78) with a clean bill of health as possible. :hug:

yea, but she's on 43...that's the really sad part. Her health just started going downhill quickly in the past few years. Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, migraines, high BP, plus the back problems she's had since crushing some disks in her spine after a car accident about 12 years ago...poor woman suffers through too many issues now, all while taking care of her 4 year old grandson which she has now adopted as her own.

She is an awesome woman taking on the grandson. I have a new respect for her. She must be awesome to know in person.

she is...and she's seen some awesome stuff too. She was a volunteer firefighter for years, was a vet. tech for like 15 years, was married for 20 years and has taken on the world single since her divorce...so single mom of her own son, and then adopting her grandson just 4 years ago.
