grrr...i don't know what it is with my family!
me and my dad both live up here in the pacNW. we are from the south and our entire family is there. we are the only ones here.
for some reason our family never wants to tell us when something bad has happened/happening! "we didn't want to worry you" is what we get ALL THE TIME! ok, it's not like my dad and i are fragile people. they act like we're gonna go looney on them or something.
so i got a call from my mom yesterday around noon. my sis was admitted to the hospital THE DAY BEFORE, with fluid around her heart and lungs! they don't know why. they did/doing several tests...i'm pissed because they did an ecg/ekg and were supposed to have the cardiologist in last night, but he never came! she's still there and has not seen a cardiologist! WTF!?!
i talked to my sis yesterday and they have her on anti-inflammatories and dilaudid.
i did some research on sudden onset of this and am coming up with several things, but mainly lupus keeps popping up...anybody have any knowledge on this??
i just talked to my mom and told her she needs to tell the docs about my dad having rheumatoid arthritis and me having raynauds and fibromyalgia. since most of those are either linked to lupus or are similar (autoimmune).
so when i told my mom that my research came up with lupus i get this "yea, they are testing her for that, but i didn't tell you cause i didn't want you to be worried" damnit woman! GRRRR
my dad is pissed that no one wanted to tell him either (his sister/brothers didn't want to tell him about his mom dying eitherat first). i had to argue a little with my sister so i could tell him...fortunately she's super high right now, so it was an easy argument! lol
she's still there, waiting to see a cardiologist, they had better see her today. i mean, seriously, they are in austin...is there ONE cardiologist in the whole damn city!
so anywho's if anyone has any experience on lupus and/or fluid around the heart/lungs, any info you could give would be great.




at first). i had to argue a little with my sister so i could tell him...fortunately she's super high right now, so it was an easy argument! lol
