Thursday my BP was 175/102 and I had blind spots/flashing lights. Scared me pretty bad. I called the hospital and they advised me to come in. It's a 30 minute drive, so the visual disturbances went away before I got there. (Ocular migraine apparently.) My BPs were still high when they admitted me, but gradually dropped to the 140s/80s after laying down. They ran blood tests and found that my potassium levels were dangerously low. For reference, the healthy minimum is 3.5 and life threatening is 2.5 or below. Mine was 2.6. They kept me in triage for 22 miserable hours and finally released me once I got to 2.9. They never checked my urine. I know I'm spilling protein, but my kidneys are achey like the start of a kidney infection now. I feel miserable. I ruined my baby shower that was supposed to be Saturday. My body is so tired, I can't even bring myself to pack a hospital bag, or order the essential baby things I need. I haven't had a decent nights sleep for months.

I just want him out so my body can start healing itself. 😔
