I have brought him back. This time to the big hospital. It happened again. I was parking the car when he was triage so I don’t know why he is not on a stretcher. His blood pressure is 168 /103.

Stupid fucking Asshole just went out for a smoke.

I hate this.

My late MIL tried that after being confirmed as a heart attack in the ER. Addicts are addicts no matter what the drug is.

My grandmother had a severe pain in her head. Her doctor told her to make an appointment and come back next week.

There was no next week for her. The pain was an aneurysm.

Definitely follow up on that headache.

We left before blood work results but after the CT scan. They will call for any anomaly and I’m calling the family doctor to make sure he sees the blood work.

Well, two weeks after the Nashville trip he is fine. My Beloved Idiot doesn’t see the point in going to the doctor. Im at a loss. No anomalies in the blood work, no further headaches (in shower or steam room, or not) and no issues on the trip at all.

Just thought people would like an update.
