Or Taser me Bro...
On September 28th, my 64th Birthday went in to see my Primary Care Doctor @ the VA Hosp.
When the Nurse checked my Vital Signs BP-Pulse-Temp. and listened to my Heart...
It seems that my BP-Pulse was well below Normal also my Temp. and she said my Heart sounded like a Cheep Coffee Grinder...
Wile I had been Waiting I was Hungry, so I had a Large Chocolate Candy Bar...At a little after 11AM... (this is Important)...
I was RUSHED too the Emergency Room...
It seems that I was in the Middle of Heart Arrhythmia...brought on by the Loss of Blood from the GI Bleeding...the build up of Fluids in my Legs and Stomach area...
This was at about 12:30-1:00 PM, Lunch time...they Wanted to Jump Start my Heart then but the Guys from Cardio said not to...the only thing I had in my Stomach was (drum roll) the Large Chocolate Candy Bar...they had already shaved part of my Chest and had something plastered there and some thing on my back...had a Hart Monitor on, EKG hook-ups, IV's...So they sent me up to CCU to be monitored till the Chocolate was out of my System...Seems the Chocolate has an Effect on the Hart. So a little after 11PM on the Night of my Birthday...I was Jump STARTED not that bad of a Jolt...I've been Hit with Higher Volts.
So the next few days were spent being Monitored for the Heart...and they started to Figure out what was causing my Rectal Bleeding, Stomach and Leg Swelling...Low Blood Volume and Low Potassium...
It seems that I am suffering from Lower Colon Syndrome...Extreme Inflammation...All this ties together with the Heart...The Low Blood Vol. knocks the Heart out of Synchronization also causes the Fluids to Build up to replace the shrinking of the Blood Vessels...and this can be linked back too the Diverticulitis and the Hematoma...
And Boys and Girls How did we Find out about this...? Can we Say "COLONOSCOPY" they only did a partial this time 'I will go in for a FULL one SOON'....
I am on the mend...feeling Stronger everyday and Thanking GOD Everyday....
