Today started awful and got worse. I woke up at about 7:00 am with terrible indigestion. The only other two times in recent memory that I had morning indigestion were the day before and the day of my heart attack. I put up with it for quite a while. I took a chewable antacid,(which was terrible by the way) and waited it out for a while. Finally at 11:30 I drove myself ( I know, bad idea) to the convenient care clinic to be checked out. I was fortunate to see my heart PA at the clinic and he point blank told me to go to the ER. Again, I drove over by myself.
Not a good day in the local ER. A glazing of ice on the roads and walkways had already sent 30 people in for falls. To my "advantage" anything remotely heart related moves your position in the ER up significantly.
After 3 hours, an EKG, blood-work, a chest x-ray and a test for my pancreas, it was decided that I have severe gastritis and sent home. I was home by 3:00, soon went to bed and by 5:00 was puking my guts out.
Now I am in that limbo period where I am wondering if it is over or if it is just waiting to strike again.
Husband went to get me something to drink and got food for himself and youngest. He is such a dear. He even went on some coupon runs to use some very good coupons that matched some deals expiring tonight.
So, I may not write much for a day or two, and deals might be put on hold... unless my husband was bitten by the coupon bug instead of the flu bug!

Hop eyou start feeling better Anita..Saying prayers that it's on it's way out, and not here to stay
So sorry to hear that you have had yet another hospital visit. I can't imagine the stress of it all with your previous health issues. Hang in there and rest up.
Ugh. All five of us had it from Friday before Christmas thru Tuesday. Then we lovingly passed it on to Smart Guy's parents and mine! Yuck!
