How are you dear Read.cash readers?
This will be a very different post than the one I was writing yesterday when a day that seemed to be like any other day suddenly totally changed. So these lines are not intended to be more than a bit of a vent. I started writing this yesterday on my phone sitting in a hospital waiting room. I have never been able to write from the phone but I guess there is always a first time. I was so stressed that I needed to write.
Yesterday, after a quiet morning answering some comments in Hive. At noon, I was writing an article on NFTs to post here when my husband came home saying he had arrhythmia and chest pain. He was very pale, so I immediately told him that we would have to go to see a doctor. So in less than 5 minutes, we were on our way to the hospital.
I've never liked being in a hospital, I don't think most people do. When I'm in a waiting room at a hospital, my feelings are always stirred up about everything we went through with my dad since I was a child. And that doesn't exactly help put my mind at ease.
My husband has had hypertension for a few years now and he takes medication to control it. He has also had a few episodes of arrhythmia in the past, but what set off the alarm bells this time was the chest pain. At the moment he is under observation and today after an angiogram we will have more information.
So yesterday I spent hours waiting in front of an ER door and then in the ICU waiting room, with lots of thoughts going around in my head. I am exhausted because nothing is more tiring than the uncertainty and waiting. I have only slept a couple of hours and even though it is not yet dawn here I cannot sleep more.
I thought that faced with the alternative of tossing and turning in bed lost in thought, it's better to finish these lines and occupy my mind with something. Maybe that will help me calm my nerves and above all, it will make the time pass faster for me and it will be soon when I can return to the hospital.
And it actually helps, as I was finishing writing this, it's almost daylight. So I'm going to get ready.
If you have read these lines this far, thank you and excuse the venting, and if you can put us in your prayers, I will be more than grateful.
