Had a rough day

Well Monday my ankles and hands were so swollen  and hurt so bad I decided to call out of work Tuesday. Work always makes you bring in a doctor note so I called the doctor and let them know I needed a note. They said okay come in but we want to check your blood pressure. I take it every day it was 126/80 so I was like okay no problem. Well while I was sitting there it decided to spike to 164/104. So I was sent over to the hospital to be hooked up to monitors. 

Blood pressure dropped within the hour, they monitored me for a little longer and sent me home on bed rest. Work is not happy, but whatever.

So while leaving the hospital I decide I'm hungry so my mother and I decide to stop in the cafe and eat. I was waiting for her to finish eating and I decided to check my facebook. I found out that one of my close friends took his life.

So here I am supposed to be calm and relaxing and I am uncontrollably crying and hysterical. He had struggled with depression his whole life but seemed to be doing so well lately. I don't know if he was just putting on a brave face because he didn't want to dump his problems on me while I was pregnant. 

I think I am still in shock.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

(I'm glad that everything was okay for you at L&D. I hope you're able to take it easy per the doctor's order.)

Sending you a big hug.  Try and get some rest, although I can only imagine how you are feeling right now.

Thank you ladies. I am following the doctors orders and hanging out in bed and trying to relax. I don't even want to know the details of what happened because I am afraid it will just make everything worse for me. 

When I contacted a mutual friend of ours I was really hoping she was going to tell me that his cancer came back and he was just covering it up. 

I am sad that my daughter will never meet this man that never ceased  to put a smile on my face. He was so excited to meet her and now he never will.
