Amy's Hospital Stay
For all of you who were wondering this is what happened after my surgery...I was doing fine after my surgery and then all of a sudden my arm started hurting and before you know it my whole body cramped up, my eyes shut and my mouth shut and I went into a sever state of tetany...you can look it up. In a matter of seconds I was completely paralyzed, blind and I could not talk. My fingers squeezed so hard, it felt like they were being ripped off my hands. I had two kids, but have never been in that much pain before. My blood pressure was 250 and I drenched the bed with sweat. My chest started tightening and I was so close to cardiac arrest...so finally got calcium through iv and after 40 minutes, the pain started to subside. It was horrible...so they had to monitor my calcium really close and once it stablilized, I got to come home. Now I am just getting my blood drawn every day up here so they can adjust the meds. So that is how I am and hopefully will just get better from here on out! Thanks again to EVERYONE for all your prayers!!
