(114,098 posts)Do you ever wonder what those guardians did to get stuck with us?

(1,879 posts)you had her, you guard her. My family and friends joke that I have had a bunch who are all in group therapy together. I almost died of an iron deficiency at 3 years old, I broke my right wrist in 2nd grade, fell and broke the left wrist in 5th grade, had hepatitis A from bad shrimp, and viral meningitis. I actually quit breathing and had no pulse, because a new PCP didn't read my chart fully enough to realize I was on a BP med. He told me to take the supplement Niacin because he thought my cholesterol was still to high on medication. It also lowers BP. Mine dropped so low I actually coded 4 times over night in the hospital. The morning nurse said they were afraid I wasn't going to make it. I was also hit crossing Main Street as a pedestrian, luckily didn't have serious injuries, and my old house got hit by an SUV when my Mom and I were in it. There's more but those are the more major highlights. I wouldn't blame the guardians if they are all in a bar sharing horror stories about me. 🤣
