(no subject)
Well, a lot has been happening today but not really Spooky related.
Mabel had to go to the hospital at 10:30 this morning. She stopped being able to communicate and being able to say her name or anyone else's. Eve called the ambulance and we all went up to the emergency room. They did a CT scan and all kinds of tests. They think she's had a TIA:
"A transient ischemic attack (TIA), or mini-stroke, occurs when the supply of oxygen is cut off to an area of the brain. Unlike the effects of a stroke, which are often permanent, the symptoms of a transient ischemic attack last less than 24 hours and usually less than 10 minutes. Anyone who has had a transient ischemic attack is at risk of developing a stroke in the future."
We think that she's had this before. We brought her to the hospital in January when she exhibited the same symptoms, but they just checked her and released her. The nurses thought that's what she had but the doctor was a moron. Anyway. They're keeping her overnight, having an neurologist come in, and running a bunch more tests in the morning.
I started having contractions that were more severe and started losing my mucus plug so I stopped in at my OB's office which is right next door to the hospital to be checked. The verdict is that I'm still only 1 cen, more effaced, but no real change. She stripped my membranes again and told me to make an appointment for early next week. I'm so frustrated and tired and worried and I just want to cry. So, I was at the hospital all day, but not for me.
The doctor hasn't said anything about what to do next, just made the appointment for next week. I do have one for Thursday of this week, which I can either go to or not depending on how I'm feeling. I'm just mad.
So I'm going to be bad and drink some red wine and take a hot shower and watch zombie movies. Maybe that will help.
