January 2020
Started a new job at a call center in Hilliard, had another appointment with my cardiologist.
March 2020
The news has stirrings about this virus, many people are saying it is just like a bad cold. Shouldn’t be too bad.
Work is asking people if they have high speed internet and if needed a place at home to work.
The Governor says that things need to close for 2 weeks. If we all mask up and stay home for two weeks, we will all be better. Another doctors appointment I think we are going to have to do more testing for this heart issue.
We are working at home for now. Work said it will just be a few weeks.
April, May, June……. December
Well that 2 weeks was awfully long, still working at home. My mental health is not doing good, but on the bright side I am making buttons about covid and shipping them out all across the country. In November I bought a Cricut machine for black friday and started making decals and selling them on etsy as well
Fast forward to February/March 2021
In early 2021 I had a nuclear stress test, which I totally failed bigtime. The next step was a heart cath.
I learned at my heart cath a couple things. One, I am extremely allergic to IV Contrast.
I had the heart cath done on a Friday, Brudder came and got me from home that next day and we went to microcenter and the Chik-Fil-A. Riding home it just felt like my whole crotch was so hot and sweaty. I also felt my lips tingle too, thinking I might have a cold sore coming on, no biggie. I get home and look and my entire diaper area is BRIGHT RED and itchy.
Sunday I went to urgent care, and they said “Oh it’s a yeast rash, like a diaper rash, take this oral medicine” Bitch I know what a diaper rash is, this isn’t it!
The next morning I still felt like my lips had swolen, my tounge felt funny, like it grew or my mouth shrunk. I went to my family doctor. He drew the blinds and had me drop my pants…. “Oh Boy! besides your groin does anything else feel weird” I told him about my lips and my mouth….. “Do you know how to use an epipen? We are going to learn today!” I got a script for an epipen, steroids, and told that i had to load up on the Benedryl.
My cardiologist called me right as I left my doctors office, and i told them and she said she would make sure that this is on my profile. My Heart cath showed that I had 80% blockages in 2 of my coronary arteries and would need surgery.
Are you keeping track, it is March 2021 here, and my company has been work from home since the previous March, though some have been in office the whole time as their job cannot be done remotely, and some have slowly began to trickle back to the office.
