Whew I don't have the pit in my stomach thank goodness and keep us posted. Our hand is on your back!

Best wishes and lots of healing your way!

So my ekg doesnt match the one from when i was here for my back. I might be going to cardiac floor instead. I dont know what that means.

welcome back pit in stomach :eek: Probably just a precaution. I am wondering if your meds are all wonky..

it means you get more attentive care.

Take care of yourself infi. We're pulling for you.

:eek: Stop that right this minute! You're a married man and father of daughters! :eek: :eek:

So you're the only one who can have a stroke around here?

I'll show you how to properly have wanker's cramp.

Wow. I picked a bad day to bypass this thread for a few hours. I'm so sorry you're in this avalanche of shit. I see you have gotten some assistance (YAY!). I want to contribute this affirmation: You're not crazy, bad shit is being dumped on you. Also, HR is not your friend. They work for the company, they might dish out stuff you can find useful, but they're not there for you, they're their to manage the company's resources that happen to be people.

Fuck. Good luck.

Mine's on yer ass.

You wish

You did the right thing, honey. First step is the biggest. You'll be okay now.

Being on the cardiac unit means you'll be hooked up to an ekg the entire time you're there-lots of wires to disconnect from, etc. but also you WILL get better care and now they have physical proof that the job is stressing you out. Did they mention what the 'abnormality' was? Typically it's Atrial fib for stress. also when one of the leads comes off they come into the room and snap it back on to you which happens a lot.

get all the help you can. tell them everything that's going on at work and how you're being treated, past history, let it rip. The more they know about the stress of your life (live alone, hateful job with loathsome people, ex homeless guy bf, family nonsupportive, etc. etc., the more they can help you. Your NOT complaining your giving them history. let them know how bad it has gotten; your thoughts; your urges to drive your car into a ditch just to get out of work....it's ok. They've heard it all before, believe me, and they KNOW you're not crazy.

Love and good wishes, Claudette

And if you want somwthing in the night, just pull a wire off. mine fell off all the time and they kept waking me to fix it. I'm relying on you to wreak my revenge ;)

Yeah, Tril is right. Just spit it all out. Once all the cards are on the table it'll be much easier for them to assess what your needs are, and what sort of help you can get. Also spending time in hospital might give your family the wake up call they need?

I'm with those who say to just get out of the job and find something simpler. The stress is not worth it mate. Life isn't about putting up with shit. I don't really know what it is about, but I do know it's not about that.

It's great that you're getting some help. You'll be in my thoughts during this period. You're doing the right thing. xxx
