10 Lessons learned from a night in the hospital

Long story short, Friday afternoon I got a dizzy spell that turned into an anxiety attack (though I didn't know it at the time). After MANY tests later and a night at the hospital, I'm in perfect health physically. Mentally, not so good:) Turns out I need some counseling to deal with everything going on in my mind. So anyway, here's what I learned:

1. I HATE the Chambersburg Hospital (and probably every other hospital too).
2. Snoring roommate=little sleep
3. My family and friends are the best.
4. Bob is the best husband a girl could ask for. He was there for me every step of the way. His support means the world to me.
5. I don't deal well with...being away from my girls...IV's...not being in control of the situation...and obviously, anxiety.
6. I am a horribly angry patient. A few different times I wanted to throw and break anything I could get my hands on.
7. Hospital food, especially a cardiac diet (because they thought maybe I had a genetic heart condition) is bland, gross, disgusting, unappetizing, boring, etc!
8. A little sympathy from the nurse who told me that Chloe could not stay in the room with me would have been nice. Instead, she told me, "I have 5 kids and I know from experience that your baby will not starve". Grrrr....do not tell that to a breastfeeding, emotional mother who has not been away from her baby overnight yet. I wanted to throw my tv remote at her!
9. I need to let go of my fears. I need to stop obsessing and trying to control every aspect of my life. I need to ask for assistance (thanks Dorothy:). I need to slow down and live one day at a time. Hopefully with time, a counselor will help me figure out how to do all of this and not feel guilty.
10. Trying to be Superwoman finally caught up to me. The job was not as fun as I thought so I'm retiring the cape. Maybe a clown suit will fit me better....
