Doctor's appointment

I did everything right this time....
I called yesterday reminding them i might need extra time due to more than one health issue.

I showed up early again i reminded them of my outburst and that i was going to wait outside until they where ready for me.

I brought my ear buds to listen to music. It helps sometimes.

The nurse takes me back. Does the same work up and tells me the doctor will be in shortly.
I put my music in and waited.

Thankfully i didn't wait long.

I told him my issues with sleeping my headaches and outbursts getting worse along with my new tic.

He listened and took notes and said he felt my sleep issues where causing alot of my issues.

He put me on Zolpidem. Im not a fan of sleeping pills but i agreed to try it.
He also gave me some simples pills for my headaches.

As for my tourettes issues he is setting me up with a specialist.

But he was very concerned about my high heart rate and high blood pressure. He said if he'd noticed that the other day he wouldn't of rescheduled. He wanted to admit to to the hospital today. I told him i had to get the kids from school.
He cut me off and said call their mother or find someone else to pick them up. So i did.

I have never been so scared as i am right now.
I lost count of how many test they have done since ive been here. Now i wait for the results.

But hey the nurses are having fun taking bets on how many outbursts ill have every hour so theres that.

i know it is hard, but, try to relax, meditate, or whatever, you sound like you now have a medical support system.
Good luck

I just got out of the hospital myself.

Have you got the results back yet?
Will you get the results before you leave, or will your have to be admitted?
Fingers crossed there is not a major problem.

@Gusman honestly i haven't eaten anything since ive been here. I got in to late for dinner and breakfast will be at 8am. I asked for a snack be i think the nurses forgot. I see the doctor sometime today. Hopefully they will let me go home. I haven't slept at all here either.

@Cigarguy101 Ask again for a sandwich at least. Tell the nurse the last time you ate something.
