Smooches,
The Drunk Drama Queen

They don't call me the DRAMA queen for nothin'!!

Now what...

I had an incident Wed night. I woke up at 12:45, with Acid Reflux..that quickly turned scary. All of a sudden I couldn't breath- it felt like someone had a vice grip on my lungs. I was wheezing and gasping for air. Then I had a panic attack because this lasted for a good 30 to 45 seconds(felt like 2 minutes). I could only get a droplet of air in at every gasp. It scared the hell outta me.
I thought that it's most likely acid reflux that I have never gotten treatment for. Yesterday my lungs were really sore and I could not take anything more than a shallow breath.

so I called the doctor and they gave me a 1:00 appt.
The doctor looked me over and diagnosed me with Asthma.
..... Asthma.... I have NEVER had Asthma before...
Gave me an inhaler and he said that sometimes Acid Reflux and Asthma go hand in hand. He thinks the acid reflux triggered the Asthma attack.
Also gave me a prescription for Acid Reflux too..

The kicker is .. While he is listening to my breathing he asks.. "Has anyone ever told you that you have a Heart Murmur?"

"No, I think I would recall that"..

"well, you do" and now they are scheduling me for a Ultrasound..

Sweet Jesus! So in one day.. I've been diagnosed with Acid Reflux, Asthma (a sudden onset) and a friggen Heart Murmur..

Wadda hell is next????.. I am scared what the Ultrasound is going to show.. I'm afraid they'll say,
"Has anyone ever told you that you have a PENIS?" ???????!!!

Yes, I am still alive..

Sorry folks.
My life always becomes really hectic during tech week for the shows I am in. Steel Magnolia's went off the ground... and it looks like the audience is having a great time.. so I am thrilled with that..

but I got a call from Mom last Wednesday- we thought my father had a heart attack. I busted my ass home and spent the next three days going back and forth from hospitals to my folks....So I've been without computer access (all the while being a basket case) for what seems like forever.

I'll spare you all the boring details, but my father did NOT have a heart attack. He was symptomatic and he DID have to have Angioplasty and had a stent (I think I spelled that correctly) -his third - he had two put in in Dec 2004 -put in....

He has Kaiser and my hometown doesn't have a Kaiser hospital that specializes in cardiac care so he was bounced around from facility to facility- ended up in San Francisco to have the Heart Cath- which was an excellent facility (it pains me to say this..because I think Kaiser is "allegedly" the devil). They got him into the heart cath, prepped, oil changed and lubed and outta there in an hour.. then sent him home the next day.

So I am exhausted, traumatized, and thankful that he didn't require open heart surgery.

I will try and post something soon in a few days and will be back to my wisecracking, ranting, hilarious self....once I get some sleep...

Smooches,
