My partner's 95 year-old mother was transported by ambulance to the hospital a not long ago. She hadn't been feeling quite right, so it was arranged for her caregiver to take her to get checked out. Then, she said that her chest hurt. The caregiver took her to urgent care, where an EKG showed irregularities, not definitive, but concerning enough that an ambulance was called. The caregiver hopped in the ambulance with Mom.
My partner was ready to head for the near-by hospital, when the call came that it was too full to see Mom, so they rerouted her ambulance to another hospital. My partner had to drive through horrible traffic to get there, and I'm sitting here wondering what's going on. I'm not officially "family", so here I am. Praying. Wanting to make Mom's favorite Blueberry Peach Baked Oatmeal, so that when they send her home with some antacids, she'll have something yummy to eat. Except, her heart rate was 188. Resting heart rates should not be 188!
I made some spicy peanut butter oat bites, and only ate two. I want to rip open a bag of mini m&ms and eat them for comfort, or maybe the dark chocolate wafers I bought for baking...I'm stopping myself.
I should plan dinner, but I don't know which end's up, at this point. I've known this Mom for 15 years (my mom died about several years ago after her heart rate went through the roof and they couldn't control it and her heart failed).
I went to BodyPump and CXWORX this morning, then to physical therapy for wrist and forearm pain. I'll focus on doing my new stretches, figuring out what healthy dinner to fix for myself, and listening for my phone to signal some news. Maybe I should turn on some soothing music, or play with Beau, my cat (who's taking a nap right now).
One of my friend's texted this morning to say she wouldn't be going to the gym, or be available to text. Her mother-in-law had fallen getting out of bed, hit her head, and fractured her hip, needing surgery for pain relief. Her head was fine, and she came through surgery well...This is a day for me to pray a lot, and send loving energy and thoughts to people I care about.
I'm not going to cry. I'll be strong for my partner. Okay, I'll cry if the news is not good....
~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE: No heart attack! She's still at the hospital, but will be released after one more blood draw. My partner will take her home, stay and make sure she's comfortable. Guess I'd better have something healthy to eat, to make sure I avoid falling into a bag of chocolate, or bucket of popcorn.
