Excuses, excuses

Feb 19, 2005 17:16

I think I have finally discovered the reason for my extreme moron behavior these past couple of days. The other day when I was in clinicals, I came very, very close to fainting. Since this was while the nurses were giving report and not when I was being faced with a colostomy bag, I was at a loss to explain the feeling. I just got to the bathroom ( Read more... )

If it's still that low on Monday you may want to go see an authorized professional. ;) My blood pressure is normally low (110/70), but I don't think it's ever gone down below 100/65.

My BP is usually pretty low, about 90/70, so while this is *low*, it's not a HUGE drop.

I have been checking it everyday and it has been back to about 95/60, so I guess drinking all that water has helped. I was just ahppy to finally have an excuse for my recent dumb and bitchy behavior! I thought I was losing my mind.

And Happy Birthday, luv! I hope you got my card. :)

Maybe you're preggers...

well, if THAT doesn't drive your blood pressure up...

although, that was what i was thinking too. Or anemia or severe hypothyroidism or not eating at all or heart something or....

Please, please get checked. Although it is fun to have my way with a passed out piggy it does get a little dull after awhile.

I'm fine, really. God, now I feel like a moron for worrying anybody. Really, I was just relieved to have a reason for my bitchy and oh so stupid behavior the last few days.

BP is fine, I've been dirnking water like a whale shark, so no worries. I am back to my healthy, if slightly bloated, self. :)

sooooo, you're not preggers?

Like others said, get it checked out if it persists, please.

But speaking of colostomies, ZK, Lothian, the Amazingly Diabolical Angeltiger, and I nearly had to deploy colostomy porn to get some space at a wine bar last night. I was in the "toss a lighted match into the group of motherfuckers hogging the comfy couch" camp, but colostomy porn was a close second.

My strategy involves speaking of mouse decapitation sleeves. Use at your discretion.

jennipher February 22 2005, 21:42:43 UTC

Colostomy porn is handy in that it can't really get you arrested, whereas the law tends to frown on murder by tossed match. Not to mention all the resulting property damage. Colostomy porn clears the couch *and* keeps it intact!

And I told you Lothian was into CP. He made me do it!

Have you changes your diet significantly lately? That or your sleep schedule are the two things I'd look at first.

Feel better.

Thanks, Dino. I really think the big problem was dehydration. Living in the desert at altitude, you need to make sure you drink lots of water and I just wasn't doing it. Now that I am drowning myself daily, the BP seems to be back up to normal.

Like I said to Asta, really, I wasn't worried, I was happy to finally know what the fuck was going on with my brain. I thought I had early dementia or something.
