Good morning lovely ladies!
I had all those cardiac tests yesterday. OMG! Don't ever, every have a cardiac PET scan!
After the test I felt awful! My head felt like it would explode, I was wobbly, shaky, nausea and they just sat me in a room and left me.
They brought me a diet coke because they said caffeine would counteract the IV meds and I would feel better. I didn't. I started feeling worse but then they came and got me for another test. This one wasn't bad but I was still so sick. The girl said she saw a lot of people get sick like this. I was wondering how I was going to drive home...still felt so woozy and awful. I got out in the parking lot to my car, got in and turned on the ignition and then got out and started vomitting.
A lady in the parking lot came over and told me I shouldn't drive and took me back inside. They then laid me down and gave me a pill, theophylline to counteract the iv meds. The anesthesiologist said did you tell them you felt this way after you got off the table? I said yes and he just shook his head. He said if they had told him he could have given me the pill immediately. Then I waited a while until the pill kicked in (luckily I kept it down!) and have no idea how I got home with a blinding headache and feeling so woozy but managed it. They should warn you how awful that test is and give you the "antidote" right away IMO!
BBP - I'm rooting for you! I believe you can lose 20 lbs. in 13 weeks!
Tuscany - that work pace is brutal! I hope that let's up for you. I've worked 16 hr. shifts in nursing many times (in my younger days) and it was brutal!
Muse I hope your back is feeling better...I know how depressing it is to have chronic pain and how that is a major obstacle to eating right and losing weight!
wannaskipandlaugh Thanks for your kind words. Your inner beauty and concern shine through in your posts here.
I'm weighing 230.6 today, up slightly from 230.4...and I didn't eat hardly ANYTHING because I was so sick until about 3pm. Then I had a slice of cheese and low carb cracker and coffee. I had 1 1/2 enchiladas with low carb tortilla last night and that is it! I remember being sick before and unable to eat much and not being able to lose weight until I could eat a little more. Sigh....I was hoping to be down another 5 lbs. before Vegas, but.....it is what it is.....
