elmerNot a great day but lucky to be here
Started today by going to primary care physician. Tested positive for Flu. Picked up meds and got home about 12:30. Started getting high back pains about about 3:30 pm. Took my blood pressure and pressure was good but MY pulse was 142. Called 911 and paramedics took me to hospital. When I got pressure was low. Pulse was normal. Back pain was severe. The doctor ordered a cat scan. After I got back the ER, I went into cardiac arrest. I got the shock paddles. (I don’t remember the shock). But woke up with the er doc doing chest compressions. In the er now awaiting transfer to icu. Doctors and nurses were great. Prayers requested.

irreverentWow. Quick thinking, and pat yourself on the back for acknowledging the symptoms and calling for help!
It’s scary to think of what I might’ve done in the same situation.
Hope you continue to improve and get home soon.
