how to deal with super high stress?
my emotional state isn't great right now. I had to call 911 over the weekend because my spouses heart stopped, causing her pacemaker/defibrillator to jump start her heart. This really freaked me out because it just wasn't normal. Of course, we have no medical insurance, so i'm gonna go totally broke paying for this episode. On top of that, we had no information on the type/brand of pacemaker, so the ER doctor couldn't set up a regulator to monitor and check the pacemaker. We reluctantly decide to not admit her to the hospital based on costs issues alone. The cardiologist basically blows this ER visit off saying she must be imagining most of the nights events and tells her maybe to see a psychiatrist instead. So now she's majorly upset.
Then yesterday, I'm told the devastating news that my 92 year old grandmother is riddled with cancer, bleeding internally because of it, and has less than 24 hours to live. She lives 1,000 miles away from me. So between the rock and hard place of deciding to go try to visit my dying grandmother/attend the funeral and leaving my near critically ill wife at home with an irresponsible 18 year old son or staying home with my wife and missing any last visit with my grandmother or her funeral.
2010 is not impressing me at all so far.
