Blood Pressure

Good readings again. This mornings reading: 106/75.

FYI - I take no medications or prescription drugs.

Surgery, Complications, and a moment of Near Death?

I had surgery almost two weeks and have been recovering not so well. Wednesday, I lost 3 pints of blood while at home between 2-5 AM. I couldn't stop the bleeding. I called the doctor and had him schedule an emergency session to stop the bleeding that morning. While I was waiting, I actually tried to complete the project that I was working on. I didn't know if I was going to make it out alive. Whether they could save me before I lost too much blood. I spent an hour while bleeding profusedly to complete my assignment for my job. I was trying to get it to a point where it could be handed off, in case something happened to me. And I was able to complete it. Thank God.

The loss of blood did not hit me until later during the day. I felt cold inside. The kind of cold feeling that people who are bleeding to death feel. My arms started shaking and I started quivering. During that time and the next 72 hours, I had a lot of strange thoughts go through my head. I even had a dream about someone I loved in my past. I started having regrets about my life. I started to put down my computer job, which I had been enjoying quite a bit.

Thank God I am starting to feel normal again. It's been 4 days since and my blood levels are starting to come back. I hope to be getting better in the next few weeks.

EQ and IQ Tests

I think most of these tests are so fake. I know of people with high I.Q. and E.Q. who lack basic common sense and lack basic life intelligence, (name removed). She doesn't even have basic emotional awareness or sensitivities of what's happening in the room to even register an E.Q. You have to go back to the people who wrote the tests and ask yourselves, what real world skills do these test makers have?

Beware of Monster Rabbit! :)
