He had a really bad and prolonged "attack" yesterday afternoon and evening and I finally talked him into letting me call the ambulance. They were really great when they got here - 4 firemen and 2 paramedics -
they took him to the Langley emergency and he was seen by a doctor there. Of course, by the time we got that all done the 8pm meds had finally kicked in and he was looking much better. But the paramedics had made a report on his condition when they got here so they knew he had been much worse - turned out he was also running quite a high temp. That went down as he got better - could be he always has that high temp with these episodes, I have never checked him for that.
Anyway the doctor said that they would keep him in overnight and let the family doctor decide in the morning what to do with him.
John was not a happy camper. It is his birthday tomorrow and I know he does not want to be in hospital then. But I want them to sort out this issue of meds. So we will see..... more news on that to come
I came home at 10:30pm with the expectation of a long nights uninterupted sleep. At midnight the phone rang and it was the emergecy - my husband had asked them to call me to see if it was OK to have his sleeping meds now!!!! Oh well, hope they worked and he has had a good night.
In the afternoon I had attended Margie's Uncle Jack's funeral in Port Coquitlam. It was a really uplifting service - a celebration of a life well lived.
Two thmbs down for sure
