And here we go!

My mom was hospitalized today. She's a nurse in the intensive cardiac care unit. Today her blood pressure went sky high and she almost passed out. After running some tests they find out her blood count was low too. They did a lung X-ray and took more blood tests. I automatically started thinking the worst, since she's been a smoker for many decades. She's still in hospital now. We went to see her this evening. While we were there another nurse came in with some tests results and as it turns out she might have hypothyroidism. Nothing has been confirmed yet and there are still other tests to be done. If it is hypothyroidism it can be treated with medication. I hope that's all it is because it's nothing compared to what I was fearing.
She's in hospital right now and tomorrow we'll hopefully get some answers.
See...bloody September! This has been a bad day for me because not only am I a worry wart these days, but it being this particular month I'm extra sensitive.
It's so odd, because I really love autumn. It's my favourite season. The colours are so beautiful and it's Halloween and it's getting darker and that means lighting candles and cozying up on the couch. I love it. It's just a shame that shitty stuff always seem to go down in the fall.
