Everything seemed alright. It's been three months since that bout in the hospital. I've been seeing the therapist for while. Everything points to a good recovery. Until Sunday evening...
Dizzy
Then this feeling of clamminess... I'm feeling dizzy.
Let me get some air! Opened the backyard door... ah.. cold air. A few sniffs... the dizziness is escalating!
I walk back to the living room. Should I call Kaiser? My purse, where's my purse. OMG, I'm feeling so dizzy.
I unlatched the front door and sit. Clutching on to my Kaiser card, I call 911.
"Hurry...hurry...need help.... ambulance... the door is unlatched." I can't !!! I just have to give them my address. Oh please, Lord. "1...6...4...1...Goode..."
I think I passed out."We're taking you to Kaiser Emergency."
I can feel. That's good. My eyes are closed but I can feel the ambulance speeding. I'll be alright.
Emergency Room
So much commotion! I am being transferred to another bed. I cannot open my eyes. But I am safe now. I'll be alright.
"Can you hear me? I am Dr. Wright. We got you."
Everything seems to be happening so fast! A needle pick here, something to my finger, a cold stick to multiple parts of my bosom... it appears to be so much confusion and noisy disturbance... and before I know it I am being engulfed in what is like a soft bubble of clouds ...
"We are going for a CT scan."
Observation Room
I must have fallen asleep. What time is it? Where am I? Did they lock my front door?
Phone.... cool, I have my phone.
Where am I?
I am dizzy and sleepy. Is there anyone here? Ah... there's someone ... I can hear them. I'm very exhausted and groggy... can't keep my eyes open.
A tap in my shoulder wakes me up. "Do you remember me, I'm Dr, Wright. How are feeling?"
He is saying many things and I'm listening intently... "and we'll have to take a brain MRI."
Holding Room
Now they are transferring me to a Holding Room, an extension of the Emergency Room, pretty much the same as any room. The room clock says 2:55... AM or PM? Hmmm... I remember it was about six PM when things started to happen. I say my night prayers. I fall asleep.
The Next Day
I feel groggy. Where am I? OMG!!!
It must be morning. It is so quiet. 9:45 AM. My God! I've been here... almost how many hours now? Phone... I've got to tell someone. I'll call Grace.
So this is where I stay while I wait... for the result? It is so quiet here.
"Hello, good morning! I'm your nurse! How are you doing? Let's have you eat breakfast. Then I'll have you brought over to MRI. They are ready for you!"
She brings me a tray of food. I'm hungry!
MRI
Through doorways, aisles, and corridors, the hospital seems deserted, save a few staff. This place is big!
We finally made it to the MRI place. Two technicians welcomed me, then started preparations for the MRI.
Some of you may have had MRIs, or have you experienced MRI? Well, it's one of the scariest of procedure for me. I've been having them for always, and I can never get used to it. It is scary because you are laying down constrained to prevent you from moving for 15 minutes in this too-tight place that gets you claustrophobic and all, plus a very loud thumping, beeping sound... for 15 minutes!
Twentyfive minutes after, they have me in a wheelchair and a very warm blanket on my shoulder and all, ready for pick up to go back to my room.
Back to the Room
Waiting for me is the senior therapist. I spend some 45 minutes with him. Then comes the doctor. "Hi, Lita ... blah, blah, blah." Okay I get it!!!
It 1:15 PM. They have me take lunch!
Then I slept.
Going Home
Grace picked me up from the hospital and brought me home. The drive home was indicative of how I feel. I made an arrangement for a maid to stay with me 24/7.
Life goes on. Life is so fragile.
-Jean DamentEveryday life hangs lightly in a delicate balance;
Where nothing should be left to chance;
And time should not be taken for granted...like it's something free,
Even though our problems can overwhelm us...we need to let them be;
And realize with God as our director, he'll always see us through,
Life always needs to be nurtured & cherished too;
Where we care enough for others & lend a helping hand;
So we can hold & treasure life, before it drifts away like sand.
You realize life is fragile-when you see love in another's eyes,
You realize life is fragile -when looking at a newborn child,
You realize life is fragile-when you see the beauty of nature,
You realize life is fragile-when you look at the sick, dying or elderly,
You realize life is fragile-when you see poverty & homelessness;
Thus Life is Fragile-Handle With Care.
Make it an awesome day!

ENGAGEtokens.Sometimes at Night I Just Read About a Lot of Different Things Ms. Saver @silversaver888 ... Most of The Things I have Learned About were never told to me at a Public School, I Wonder Why that Is?? Merry Christmas My Friend, I am Grateful that you are Still Here after this Little Hospital Adventure. With the Pictures of the Hospital Food I Knew all you Needed was a Banana. I am going to have an Apple Right Now............ Interesting Stuff that a California Doctor did back in the 1930's. All of Humanity needs to KNOW THE TRUTH !
Suppressed information by .GOV and the medical establishment is a crime...
Hahaha... I did need a banana, with the low potassium in my body! 🥰🌺🤙

You were the first person in Hive that noticed, sis. For that, I am very grateful
I imagined a life where not a single soul noticed you were gone!
How sad that would be!'
I'll take the love and hugs, sis! 🥰🌺🤙

!ENGAGE
ENGAGEtokens.I remember the last time your account went 'Quiet' and hoped it wasn't another replay of the last time but that was exactly what I was thinking of.
Funny thing about our Intuition, like a self fulfilling prophecy.
You won't hear me me mock that advertising Meme, "I have fallen and I can't get up!"
So glad to know that you are recovering and safe Sis. Take Care.
Always, with Love and keep some communicative device with you. 🤗 🌺 💖 📣
I'm recovering from yet another of those episodes!
I will be my mom age in a year when she passed away... so young at 45.
I can't help but romanticize what is happening to me, hehehe! 🥰🌺🤙
!ENGAGE
stop scaring your friends 😜
...Not intentional 🥰🌺🤙

You did not tell me what the problem was that the doctors diagnosed, but I don't need to know, as hope is so much stronger.
Get better soon is what we want for you!

And those scans well , i know what you mean, i will take care of the blogs for the contests and if you need me to do anything else for the LOH let me know, please do take rest and take care of yourself, i wish you safe , good and nice holidays and christmas
I'm very touched, @brittandjosie!
I don't know what triggered it. I just know now that my body is not the same.
I'm in remission from my cancer since 2017, and it is not cancer-related.
You can say that it related more to my bout three months ago.
I just have to be careful!
I appreciate that you are always helpful in the Ladies of Hive, and you have indeed taken on the responsibilities that it takes. For this, and many more, I am very grateful! I am relying on you. 🥰🌺🤙
!ENGAGE
Well I say offcourse and no need to thank I love the ladies and the project you started. Now you need to figure out how to get better
I will be sending strength and wish you merry holidays for Christmas and a great and prosperous 2021
Thank you @brittandjosie 🥰🌺🤙

I know... I must take it easy! It is not okay.
I know that life is so fragile!
And you betcha, I'll enjoy life to the fullest, hahaha 🥰🌺🤙
!ENGAGE
ENGAGEtokens.MRI's, CT's, and PET scans, are things I can certainly do with out any more. I hope all is well for you and will continue to be well for you.

ENGAGEtokens.OMG, I am so sorry to hear this, and what a frightening experience it sounds like. I've had to do the MRI thing once before, too, and it's not fun. Hope they get you sorted and feeling better soon. NO MORE PROBLEMS, LADY! You've reached your limit for this year, and maybe next year, too! ❤️
Oh @thekittygirl! It was frightening!
Hahaha... I wish for no more problems! I thought it was enough that I had to be confined in the hospital.
I will try to avoid the stress of work... maybe I should change jobs!
A lot to think about, but for now, I will take it easy!'
Love you sis, @thekittygirl!🥰🌺🤙
