I would love to have a week where I can do things & not crash. Before it wasn't too bad, I could do a bit but would crash for a say or two. But it has gradually gotten worse over the years.
Last month I was hospitalized because I was anemic and my heart rate was 41, with a dangerously low blood pressure. I scared everyone who loves me, and today they are still extremely worried.
5 or 6 years ago, this wouldn't have happened. Yes I was younger, but still I was able to do pretty much anything I wanted. This little stunt made sure I didn't go to the family reunion. And it pretty much has be locked in one area, travel is out of the question for me right now, at least with me driving.
I keep hearing from my docs "once this is done, it will you will be ok." Only problem is I have heard this over & over for the last few years. I have agreed to do what they tell me needs done, only to have another medical issue occur. Part of me wonders if I didn't do what they suggested if I would be going through all of this ... and that is disturbing.
Now I have to decide if I get a hysterectomy done, as well have the spine in my neck fused together. Yea that's just the easiest thing to decide isn't it? Or it would be unless you were dealing with me & all the blasted issues I have going on in my body. Heck only one issue laid me out for 2 days ... all I did was help tear out a small part of carpet from my own freaking room. 2 days later, I am still feeling the pain, and exhaustion. Let's not even discuss the problems my back says it is having ... it's very unhappy with me right now & letting me know about it.
The question is do I follow what my doc suggest or to I take a chance & end up screwed from not trying?
