Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the middle of the night, I get struck with Uh,
i'd be I'm a woken by awakened by pain. Pain
in my stomach woke me up last night high stomach
like clear up just below my sternum. And uh, I
don't know if I remember this a couple of weeks ago.
I don't remember if I mentioned that, but I've had
it because I like really overdid a bunch of greasy
(00:20):
food and stuff like that and decided I can't do
the cheeseburger for lunch and then bacon for dinner or whatever.
I gotta, you know, come back a little bit. Anyway, Um,
I got this thing last night and it just it
was bad, and it just kept getting worse and worse
and worse. And then I was thinking about my knees,
who she had. Uh, she's had a gallbladder problems since
she was a teenager. I mean, so some people just
(00:43):
genetically whatever. I also found out that blood cancers like
I had can make your gallbladder go to crap. So
but anyway, this pain got just got worse and worse
and worse. And I'm pacing around the house for a
by an hour and it kept getting worse and worse
and worse, and I know what to do because I'm
alone with Henry and Uh. I called the advice nurse.
(01:06):
I'm I'm like, I got my door shut and then
another shut door shut in the hall so he doesn't
hear me yelling because I'm yelling all the time. Just
so I call up the advice nurse and I'm talking
to her saying, what what should I do? She says,
I think you need to call nine one, And I said, yeah,
think so hard. Why can't I drive? She said, you
can barely talk, you can't drive. You gotta call Mine
(01:28):
one one. That's why she's the advice nurse. That's some
good advice. Yeah, but my my son has been to
the R a couple of times the last couple of months,
and he suffers from anxiety. I thought this is not
gonna be good, waking him up in the middle of
the night and take him to the yard. But I
didn't really make a choice, so I go and wake
him up and tell him I I call Mine one
one and then I tell him we're onto the R.
I don't feel good. I'm gonna be fine, everything's gonna
(01:49):
be fine, but I don't feel good, and he's he's
getting he starts getting a little panicky, and uh, it
takes longer than you know, I would like to have taken.
It probably wasn't very long. But I'm literally writhing on
the floor. I've never written, is that the passage? Sure,
I've never writhed in pain in my life, like briefly,
(02:10):
you know, like, yeah, you had hit with a baseball
or something. Jeez, you to hop around and everything like that,
but you for like an hour and a half, I
rolled around on the floor, cussing and moaning. I've never
had a pain even close to this bad, not even close,
like a different world of pain that I didn't know existed,
(02:31):
the old cussing moan. Oh, it was just horrible. And
my poor son, he's scared to death and everything like that. Anyway,
the fire truck, so I'm sure you're trying to reassure
him like you're dying in between, you know, crying out
like you're dying. Holy cow, I'm sipping coffee right now,
hoping to God it doesn't send me back into a pain.
(02:53):
But anyway, so fire truck gets there, and the MT
people and everything like that, and Henry unlocked the door.
They cut man and they ask all kinds of questions.
They're trying to figure out if you're having a heart attack,
they try to figure out if you're a drug addict
who's overdose. Those seemed to be the first two things
that they're in they're wondering about. Well, given the numbers recently,
you know, it's probably the most likely thing that happens
(03:14):
at two o'clock in the morning heart attack or somebody
odeon on their drugs. And I told him I no drugs,
no drinking, and I don't think I'm having a heart
attack based on you know, all the symptoms I know
about and everything like that. Um. Anyway, so they strapped
me to a gurney and um and uh. And we
head out onto the ambulance and and Henry goes with
me in the ambulance, and the and the fireman e
(03:35):
MT people are being really nice with him and everything
like that. We get to the we get to the hospital. Um,
they they've she's so writing in the ambulance thing. And
I only live like two miles from the hospital, which
is handy, but so I'm just in so much pain,
and I've said, is there anything you can do for this?
Because this is brutal and um and uh so they
(03:57):
gotta get an I V started in my hand and
I'm just like, I can it holds still. I'm freezing cold.
I'm shaking him, waving my arms around. I can't hold still,
and he at some point he says, you have got
to hold still. He yells at me, I don't try
to hold my arms still or whatever. I don't know,
yelling me. I'm in a lot of pain over here,
little road having a rough night over here. He has
(04:19):
a hard time. Probably why I got this big bandage
on my hands, because he had many goes trying to
get the I started. You're killing me people right there,
they're they're going off the road right now. Man. That's
why he was yelling at me, I think because he
was probably you know, uh, you know, when you're failing
at something. Well, not his fault though. We're on a
bumpy road going around corners and I'm waving my arms around.
(04:40):
How many times he jabbed me, I'm guessing six, but
it was hurt too anyway, So he's get the IV
and everything like that. And then when when when we
get to the e er little circle there like you
have in front of every hospital in the world and
they get me on in the gurney. Henry gets out
and the poor guy, he said, I'm not feeling so good.
I can tell he's really nervous about being at the
r R. He throws up three times between the the
(05:03):
ambulance and the door. Poor guy. Jeez, what a brutal
situation for him. Anyway, they get me in there and
UH continue to write them pain for quite a while
before they get me on the delotted and then the
pain pretty quickly just disappears completely. So that's some good
stuff right there. You want to be a junkie, you
don't want to feel nothing. I highly recommended it. Allotted.
(05:25):
You find a crooked doctor, you slip with a honey.
I think you're in good shape.
