Almost a day unreal...

As I'm sure you have noticed from my boasting, this weekend was supposed to be a nice relaxing weekend at the ranch home. Well it ended up being the worst day of my life after I ended up in the emergency room, twice in one day.

Well Friday when we got there I was short of breath after the day of fun, but I didn't think anything of it really. Hell I consider myself a healthy cat so I was like fuck it. Well that night I ended up not drinking cause I just didn't feel right and everyone noticed that was there. After the night of sleeping I woke up pretty much the same but I didn't really care cause it would of ruined my day if I just thought of it.

So I didn't feel like being outside and decided to play pool upstairs with my roommate Greg and the breathing became even worse. My first thought was it was really hot so I took a shower and made everything feel worse and all of a sudden my hands started going numb and then the hot flashes kicked in. Well everyone's first reaction was to call a doctor and said I should make my way to the emergency room. Lucky me there was an emergency room about five miles away and made my way there.

While registering in myself with my two friends who I thank dearly for taking me, I started to shake and the nurse noticed my breathing and rushed me into the emergency room bed. Well they thought being in a ranch I was dehydrated they strapped me to an I.V. and then my heart rate jumped up to 130 in a split second. Then my friend rushed to the doctors and they rushed over to see what was wrong and that's when everything just went dark and numb. I lost COMPLETE feeling in my arms and upper body and broke into a seizure while my heart jumped up to 170 bmp. For those who don't know the normal heart rate is anywhere between 80-100 beats per minute or so and I almost doubled that. Lets just say that's the closest I ever want to be into a cardiac arrest. It was the scariest shit for myself as well as my two friends who had to watch me in that condition. I'm just glad I stopped seizuring while I did cause they were about to inject me with drugs that had bad side affects and they were a split second away from spearing me.

So after about an hour and a half all my vitals were completely healthy and I was given the okay to go. Well to hours I was back but nothing happened like the paragraph before and after about an hour, I was good to leave. After that second trip, I decided it was enough and I left the ranch for the apartment. To sum everything up, it is still unfor sure what is really wrong but I was given the doctors opinion to take a heart x-ray. Not fun... And this was all in a five hour span.

I know I'm the one to never take stuff seriously, but I was in good spirits the whole time cracking jokes with the doctors. I even asked if my I.V. bag was bud light flavored, and they told me it was Coors light. I thought it was humorous as well as everyone. And I even think the lady doctors were fascinated with my shaved chest. haha.

I know you may think I'm odd to crack jokes about the whole thing, but that's the way I deal with life. The only thing I wasn't happy about the whole thing was my friends watching me like that and bringing bad news to a family wedding back home as everyone was worried at the wedding. Plus it was the day before father's day and well... yea.

Well I'm going to go ahead and lay back down because I still need some rest.

And cut...
