ROFLMAO....See what a lot of drugs will do to ya? It was supposed to say "Thanks Sweetie" ha ha ha ha.
And no, no show. I can't train like I should, or do the amount of cardio it takes to get lean enough. :( Doc says I'm done competing. My heart is more important than that trophie.
I'd like a big mac please :D

Hi All!
I'm home and feeling a little better. Sorry for the scare Lori and Stella. It was a rough few days.
Tuesday I decided to start an over the counter fat burner (Venom) as I was 6 weeks out. I took it as recommended. One tablet in the morning....felt great through the morning and into the early afternoon. Wasn't shakey or feeling weird, kept my appetite at bay, everything fine. I then took the second dose as directed at 3:30. I was still feeling fine until 4:30ish. I started feeling a little ill in the belly, but by 5:00 I also had a head ache and was sweating aweful. I got home and told Mike that I wasn't feeling up to going to the gym. I layed down and he was called to his mothers. While he was gone I started feeling worse. I tried calling him but wasn't getting an answer. I decided to drive over to his mothers to make sure things were ok there. By the time I got there I was physically week and very light headed. I told Mike I needed to go to the hospital. He drove me there and I was rushed into the ER. I was in de-fib and had a blood pressure of 186 over something (i forget the second number). They attached me to several machines and started an IV. They pushed about 6 huge needles of a medicine that was supposed to bring my blood pressure down. It took 10 hours for my blood to get to a normal level. They did several draws of blood, EKG's, X-rays and Ultrasounds. The upper part of my heart was giving me the problem. It was beating so out of wack that it stops the right and left chambers from pushing out blood to the body, therefore the blood coagulates and causes clots. They had to shoot blood thinner needles into my stomach (totally sucked). Wednesday and Thursday proved the same, many tests and needles. By Thursday night they felt it was under control enough to send me home. I am on 3 scripts for my heart, blood and stomach. I have to take a stress test next week. I have been told that I will be able to go back to the gym, but not train at the intensity I used to and that I will not be able to compete due to the fact that I cannot take the stress. Cest le vie, I'd rather have my life than a trophy. This was not the first time I have had an issue like this (but not to this degree). Several years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease (Hypothyroidism). I had felt almost the same way back then and my heart rate was high back then, but was put on Levoxyl for 2 years. My thyroid was tested every 6 months and eventually my meds were decreased and then finally I was at normal thyroid levels and didn't have to take the medication. During this stay they did several checks on my thyroid and it is still in the normal range. The cardiologist stated this heart problem was an existing issue and that it was most likely not induced by the fat burner, but may have aggrivated it. All in all I guess it was better finding out like this than to have it get worse without being aggrivated and eventually just having a heart attach. I'm not feeling 100% as I am still having bouts of fatigue and lightheadedness (is that a word?), and my thinking skill a little slow (its taken a half hour to type this, lol) but the doc assures me that it will pass.
So I want to thank you all that knew for keeping me in your prayers and for those who didn't until now for being concerned. And although some of you I have had confrontations with here on the boards, please know I've realized that life is too damn short for shit and I appologize for anything I may have said that upset you.
My love and thanks to you all.
Laura
ps, ROFLAO about Mike and the camera. It was actually his cell phone and I too was in awe that he was snapping pictures of me while I was laying there, but I guess it was just a way to get him through it. He was scared to death and did a lot of crying. Yes, that big man cried. I just love him so much and don't know where I'd be without him.

Well since you're tired, ...maybe you should just rest. This will be a golden opportunity for Mikey to prove Playboy right that men can jump in there and do everything that women do around the house.
Sit back, take it easy, ...and let Mikey do EVERYTHING! :D
You might even get a little bell to summon him at will.
C'mon Mikey, ...what say you? The honour of the male gender is at stake here.
You wouldn't want to prove Playboy wrong now would you? You gotsta represent the Y on the girly board

Boy...your having a bummer of a day today. Talk about a woman's lib. I'm sure Mike can handle himself perfectly fine. Sorry to burst that bubble you've been living in but men are capable of cooking and cleaning too.

Don't have the recipe for that but then again, we can't always get what we want in life. We are not spoiled little brats, right? As for the bathroom, no problem. I just did all four of mine yesterday.
