well what a journey the last week. It started with me sleeping almost 24 hours then waking up with left side numb... Every time I tried to speak I kept on biting my tongue... Every thing had gone off the charts 240/190 bp, heart rate 110 bpm, blood sugar almost 500!!!! PVC's like crazy and of course Tri-gmts' and Bi-gmt's (messed up heart beats)...

Two days ago they decided to put a stint in my Carotid Artery on my right side... They do this without sedation, numbing only the groin.... I had to hold on to a couple of rubber balls that I had to squeeze as the Doctor was digging in the Artery... I had to move my neck and head as he asked to help him guide the tools through to my neck... I am allergic to the dye they use so I sent into shock, Anaphylactic shock, couldn't breath then I went blank... Suddenly I was awake again and I realized I had I had dropped the ball in my left had... I said out loud I dropped the ball and I heard from the Anesthetist "Yes you really did, Your heart stopped and before we could "Paddle you" it started back up again."

So now I am home, with almost complete recovery... Just a little numbness on the left side, and a very sore and swollen neck... Yes you do feel them going from the groin to the neck... Not for the squeamish....

I do still get very tired and then the symptoms come back a bit more.... So I am going to post this on a couple of my Tribes, later I will talk more if asked... I have been feeling very good for almost a year so maybe I will get a good turn out of this....
