I'm glad you're home and that it wasn't a stroke, NP. I am really surprised that the hospital didn't take you back immediately considering the hip BP. When I had an elevated heart rate, they checked that basically as soon as I got there, then sent me back. However, it was at like 7 a.m. on a weekday and there were few people there, so that could be why. Though it felt like I had to wait forever (in reality, a couple hours) for the doctor to update me on what they thought was going on, in part because they got a lot busier, plus had to wait for my bloodwork results.


And @@, I'm also really sorry you had to deal with that.
