Thumbs down PGN put me in the hospital -- literally

Intermittently over the last two weeks, I had been having chest and arm pain. I had seen my MD who told me to monitor it and call her if it got worse. Monday night, it got worse, so they admitted me to the hospital. Long story short, it wasn't heart problems as far as they can tell -- rather gastric distress and anxiety. Now what 43-day-and-counting experience in my life could be stress inducing?

I think my third time in PGN will have to be my last -- my heart and my soul can't take it any more!

Marjorie

PS My last PGN stay (and this was the "old" PGN) was 47 days, so what happened to the new PGN getting cases out faster?

OMG! That's horrible! I'm so, so glad that you're ok, but gosh you need to do something to relax. I had chest pain when we were stuck waiting for PA for seven weeks, but I never had to call my doctor. Please make your husband make dinner or something for the next few days. PGN, let her out already!

Marjorie,
Oh my goodness I hope that you get out of PGN so that your stress goes down. In all seriousness when I was forever waiting for pink for Emma I thought I was having a heart attack but instead was having a panic attack. It was the worst experience of my life. Hang in there you will be done soon and that beautiful girl will be home in your arms.

Ami

I'm sorry that PGN is keeping our little ones tied up. This is ridiculous!!! I am sorry that we have to endure this anxiety and stress. I pray that you are given peace.

Have you thought about going to a meditation class?
1. It could be a time to your self when you are there
2. Time to not think about ieveything
3.Something that you could take back to your every day life.
I hope you are feeling better !!!!!

Wow...I hope you feel better soon and you get the news you want. That may not help, but it's probably best for your health if you try doing something else and not think about the adoption 24/7. I know it's hard..but you have to keep your sanity...the baby will come home..and you'll forget about all this waiting.

Oh my goodness! I'm glad you are going to be okay! We have been waiting 46 days and just received a KO on Friday so I know how you are feeling! I hope you can find something to do to relax (easier said than done huh!) and I hope you feel better and get out soon!

Please know that my heart breaks for your suffering. But - do this for yourself...be well.

I am suffering through a great deal of unknown, frustration, etc. - but we need to find some place of peace.
I will pray for you tonight.

Majorie,

I am glad it is nothing too serious. Do you have someone helping you with the kids for a few days? A little rest might do you some good. I hope you are out soon. Maybe there will be a rush on outs Friday.

Oh my word Marjorie! I am so sorry! I hope you have a few days off of work to recoup. Holy smokes. Perhaps we should let PGN know this information.... Again, I'm so sorry-
