Waiting

at the emergency room. Apparently there’s 3 hour waiting so I have plenty of time to do the write up.

I don’t really know what happened today. I did an hour cardio and then started to make lunch. I was supposed to go to work after 3 pm. I was eating. All of a sudden I realised that what I had thought that had happened, had not really. I had been somewhere in my mind.

I called work. I don’t know what we talked about precisely. I then called the health care center. Had to wait for a while. They called back and then told me to call the emergency number. I did. I was interviewed. Then told to open the door and go lie down. I did.

The ambulance came. They did their stuff and gave me a breathalyser test. Which was funny. They more or less thought that I had some kind of psychological episode. That I was disassociating. I was not. Last time I did that was about 15 years ago. This was different.

I called the health care center again after they left. They told me to come to the state hospital emergency. So here I am. At least 3 hour waiting.

I’m back to normal now. Don’t know if I had a severe migraine episode without the headache. I have mild headache now.

It was scary. I have never experienced anything like that before. When I looked into the mirror my left side was not smiling as it should be. My vision was bit blurry. I lost some time. And I know I was not”all here”. I realised that when I came “back” more and more.

Now I’m waiting to see a doctor with a room filled with others. Sent my husband home so he can tend to the dog while I’m here waiting.

Edit. I'm alive and home now. They could not tell what it was. But I'm okay now. Little bit of headache still. Could be due to high blood pressure.

Very strange day. I know that my behavior wasn't rational when that episode happened. I don't remember the timeline accurately.

Next time - if it comes - I need to go to the emergency room.
