Health Problems

Hope Olebass is ok.

Sidenote, I'm only 32 but I have a Will and advance directives already done. Its because of this thread though that I decided to add in all my log ins that I frequent. Its always shitty when someone drops off the face of the internets and you never know why.

"If I die, please login to rerolled.org and post in the Health Problems thread"

"If I die, please go to my house, turn on my computer, and run this botscript until they shut the lights off."

Posting from beyond the grave.

I'm gonna haunt you mofos.

LOL. I am a alive guys, although I have been sick and believe it or not to me it seems like only a day or two since last post. I tried to mow and some other things Thursday as per doctor orders, well the order was to be as active as possible, and over did it then got a severe headache that lasted 3 days. Probably thanks to the 93 degree temps and 5000% humidity on top of my other health issues. I seriously cannot remember anything useful, productive or even where this weekend went.

I actually have something like that Noodle. It is a list of sites, numbers and people to contact. It isn't a super long list for online stuff but yes Rerolled is on it.
Sorry for it having been so long. This is what happens when I am home too long. My aspect and grasp of time changes too fast. I had wanted very badly to go back to work today but I just don't feel ready.
You ever felt so bad you didn't even feel like browsing the web or typing? Me either until this last month at times.
I'm hoping I am not getting depression. I am not sad or wanting to die kind of depression, just a I just want to lay in bed and make it go away type where half of you says get up go fuck shit up, get stuff done, be a man and the other half just says go back to bed.

Yeah, there are days where I don't bother to turn the computer on. Well. Except for porn. If I go a day without watching some ho do her thing, I've probably got a serious fever.



And at this point Olebass, lay in bed a little until you get your legs back. Well, I mean, nearly literally huh? You really ARE quite sick. Don't turn into a lazy lardass, but you do need to slow down a little bit until you get this under control and find where your tolerances are.

Edit: It's the "as possible" part of that "be active" that's important. Your body has just fucked you. What was "as possible" last year is not "as possible" this year. It's gonna take a little bit of time to adjust.

Leg is really swollen again. Not sure why it keeps doing that but assume it is related to the heart failure. Was fine for 42 years then bam and never stops swelling anymore.
Other than that I am moving around better each day and if it wasn't for that swelling/pain and swollen throat I would be pretty well atm.

Yeah, it is. It's because your heart isn't pumping blood efficiently enough, and fluid is building up in your legs. The difficulty is in getting the fluid back out of your meat. It's congested. Compression would help (compression stockings. They're like real tight panty hose, I'm sure you had them in the hospital), but since it's up in your thighs as well as your calves it'll only be so useful. The problem isn't with your legs. For some people it is, and compression is about the only thing you can do besides surgery (and it helps a great deal more than it will help you).

It's also why a low salt diet will help and why you very much need to keep one. It takes time for the salt to work out of your system, but when it does you will notice fewer of these swelling episodes.

Not much to report on, next doc appointment is tomorrow, threatening letter from property management and leg still randomly swells.

Medicaid?

What kind of superpowers did you end up with?

Spent the night in the ER, having arrhythmia of the ventrical nature. I'm surprised they sent me home, because I was still having them right before I left. Usually they are pretty quick to admit me. Feeling really shitty, and scared to go to sleep. Ain't that a helluva thing.

How often should we require Olebass to post before we start assuming the worst?

I assume they at least hooked you up to the EKG? You never know these days, there are some really shitty hospitals. The stories my wife tells me about transfers from other hospitals and even our own personal experience has us scratching our head how many stay in business without getting the balls sued off them.

I was wondering the same.

Oh yeah, I had an EKG, and the ER staff was cool. I think since I have a history of heart failure/poor rhythms, they just ran blood work, found out my potassium was low, gave me a big dose and sent me home. I talked with my electrical heart doc today and he thought it was definitely the potassium. Sometimes I think they just say what you want/need to hear, but in this case I believe they were correct. I've taken a couple large doses of potassium and feel much better today.

I think every 5 days is reasonable.
Obviously I was more into forums and communities and stuff before all this happened and now I spend most days in depression, fear, sick, angry or planning world domination.
Swelling has been mostly gone past few days, and my blood saturation has been great but I can take my heart from 60s/70s to 150 bpm from just standing up too quick or a short walk.
Appears my lungs may be ok but my heart is not doing so well. Expecting the worst from that and at this point not really giving a fuck about it anymore to be honest.
