Exclamation ER visit

Well I broke down and went to the ER. Just couldnt handle the pain anymore, and wanted a little relief.

At first the nurse didnt believe I was in any pain, was kinda lookin at me like a drug chaser. Seen that look so many times

Well, while one nurse asked questions the other was running my blood pressure, and by the look on the face of the nurse asking questions I knew something was wrong. The blood pressure was 190/115!! I never had blood pressure over 140/90.

They took me straight back to a bed, and told me that I was lucky I came in. They checked me over real well, and discovered that one side of my body was colder than the other side. That helped my story because the colder side is the side I was complaining about. It even feels like my insides have RSD.

They told me I have to take blood pressure meds, and pain meds. I have a predisposition for high blood pressure, and the pain causes it to go higher. Now I know for sure that I am not crazy, it did spread

Thought I would share this with everyone in case there is someone else having same troubles. If your having a headache, and excrutiating pain, you might want to go get seen right away. The high blood pressure is a killer according to the ER docs.

Here is another little tidbit of info I found that might save a life, or at least some grief.

YOU MUST KNOW *77

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77. It was about 1:00 p.m.
in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED
police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's parents
have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of
the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. *

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *77
on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over
right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked
police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The
dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there
weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back
up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her.
One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind.
They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was
a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman
alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently
police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet; place.
You obviously need to make some signals! that you acknowledge them (i.e. put
on your hazard lights) or call *77 like Lauren did.

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of
wonderful information.

*Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility confirmed that
*77 was a direct link to state trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let
your friends know about *77.

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.
