[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 465156, member: 1233"] Many many hugs. I am not at all surprised, but I am very sorry. You NEED to see a doctor. Go to the ER if your doctor won't see you with-o payment. THere will be a wait, but given the cough and the feeling like you are drowning, on top of prior cardiac problems and the kidney issues and water retention, you very well could be experiencing congestive heart problems/failure. You are home with just Travis now and if you let this go, you might not be able to call for help in time. Your children and grandchildren do NOT need this. You MUST take care of yourself for them. If you can't go do it for you, go do it for them. Hang the expense. No one is going to take your house if you go to the ER and can't pay. they MUST treat you, and if they bill you and bill you, so what? PLEASE go see a doctor. PLEASE. Just because you don't think you have cardiac symptoms now does NOT mean that you didn't have a heart attack and/or that you don't have something going on that they could help. Grief is hard enough, but you don't need it on top of the physical stuff. I KNOW you like to wait and see with your health, but you are not superwoman. If you think going is a waste of time, sit down, right now, and think about how your children would react if they came and found you dead. I know I am being harsh. What would you want to say to them that you haven't said? What family memories have you not written down or recorded? How would it impact Aubrey, Darrin and Brandon and little Oliver? He wouldn't even get to know his grandma Lisa, would he? All he would have are the pictures and the little baby things you made for him. I know that isn't what you want. I know your pride, how you hate to take $$ or owe $$. If you spoke to your daughters, would they rather have you owe money to the doctor/hospital, cut their own budgets to pay for your medication care, or bury you? What you are describing is SERIOUS. The risk of congestive heart failure, esp with the water retention from the kidney issues, is big. GO TO THE doctor OR ER. SPEND THE DAY WAITING. You are an adult. You can be patient and wait to be seen if needed. Have one of the girls take you and either stay or come back and get you when you are done. Pack a book, a snack, any medications you are on, a small pillow and if needed a blanket/jacket (some are cold, some are hot). Then GO. I am willing to bet if you tell either of your daughter's about this, they will say what I am saying. What would you tell a patient with those symptoms? We love you Lisa. I love you. I hate that you are hurting so, emotionally and physically. I don't want to lose you. [/QUOTE]
