Homeless with service animal. No where to go - update 4
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me.
As always, thank you to everyone of you who's been supporting me through my journey. I went to church this morning, and prayed for all of you. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you. And I'm sure my pup wants to wag his tail for you guys as well.
Had physical check up w/ a nurse here at the respite center this morning. And it was very shocking. My blood pressure was abnormally high. 195/135. Thought it was machine malfunctioning, so retook it. again, 193/131. I'm freaking out. Nurse is freaking out. Could be from multiple factors, but I'm sure anxiety's got to do with this.
Instead of going to an ER, I opted to urgent care. I knew with this kind of BP, hospital would have admitted me, and that was not an option for me. Took another BP at the clinic, 198/129. APN diagnosis me with hypertension, prescribed me BP pills.
Back at the center, ate something, took the pills, laid down. my heart is pounding, headache, head is spinning 1000mph. Anxiety kicks in again. Tried breathing technique, but not much help.
Took another BP, this time 199/135. Googled what it meant, not good. AT ALL. Hypertensive Emergency.
Started weighing my options, still haven't decided what I want to do/ what needs to be done. If I admit myself, who's gonna watch Max, should I wait and see if the med are working, etc.
Just when I thought things are going right direction, shit hit the fan again. WTF.
I really don't know what to do, but I won't send him to complete strangers, even if I have to get myself admitted to ER. I guess I got some homework to do tonight.
For those of you who offer to help with gift cards, dog food, supplies, etc. I thank you so much for your generosity. I am OK for now. And it's gonna be very difficult for me to travel or meet you IRL.
I have to pay very close attention to any sign of symptoms and monitor BP next 24 - 48 hrs.
That's it for the day i guess.
