ur very welcome! glad that's over for u!! good luck with the rest of ur journey.. I love this site, too.. wish I would have found it sooner! lol

u might have to ask for it at the pharmacy.. I think it's one they keep behind the counter.. & u could always consult a pharmacist about which to use.. I'm sure they can help!

my gripes are the ridiculously high cost for decent clothes & black pants.. as a single mom, I live on a pretty tight budget.. I used to be able to find affordable clothes, but that seems to be unheard of now.. I'm a little bigger than the sizes carried at stores like walmart.. maybe it's just me, but I can't stand spending more than 20-25 on a nice blouse.. don't get me started on jeans! lol u know.. old navy had a petition against them for charging considerably higher prices for women's plus than for the big & tall men's.. black pants..... why is it that I can try on every color of one style & the black pair is always one or two sizes smaller? lol what's up with that??

I wonder if the kind people with high blood pressure use would be ok.. I think it's called coricidin hbp..

@ nervous nana: yay!!! I really hope I helped & not caused u to have a panic attack.. lol -- @ spiritfilled: abg's are arterial blood gases.. it's where they draw blood from an artery in the wrist.. in my experience, it's not an exact location for them.. they have to kinda search for it once they're in it.. i can honestly say that those are one thing that can raise my blood pressure! lol

good luck!!!

oh, sweetie.. I'm not going to lie.. those things hurt like hell.. I have had plenty of those since I was a teen because of respiratory issues.. I just want u to prepare urself because that way u can expect it & not panic during it.. there was one woman who didn't hurt me that bad, & she did it completely different than the others.. she got down at eye level with my wrist resting on the hospital bed, & went in straight instead of them hovering over my wrist & going straight down.. maybe I shouldn't tell u all of this.. really just trying to help!! if u can take an ipod or something to help keep u calm.. that helps me!! please keep us posted!!
