i keep seeing that post about the one of the symptoms of a heart attack being a sense of impending doom and i think back to the time i went on a transport trip from hell for my aunt's dog rescue
and the lady that was supposed to be driving with me ended up not being able to drive a) at night b) for more than 2 hours at a time and c) on busy interstates (and that particular trip was Alabama to Niagara Falls, NY)
so I ended up driving for a very long time over the course of 2 days and when i got back into south carolina and dropped the lady off at her house and was on the way back to my house, i remember feeling bad and thought it was the stress of having to drive for basically 40 of the 48 hours i was on the road
i ended up calling my sister to talk to while i was driving bc i was tired and freaking out bc i felt like something super bad was going to happen to me if i didnt have someone to talk to and keep me distracted from whatever it was that i was feeling
after that things are a bit fuzzy but i did make it home and my aunt yelled at me for taking too long to get home, and my sister immediately noticed something was Wrong and wanted to take me to the ER
my aunt said nope and claimed i was faking feeling the way i felt bc i was upset she made that lady go with me (??? i didn't care about that?? but my aunt lied to me and said she would be able to drive an equal amount of time as i did and well.. :))
my sister ended up taking me to the ER anyway and at that point i started getting chest pains and just had Big Bad Feelings
uh anyway those were heart attack symptoms and im pretty sure to this day my aunt still doesn't believe it, despite my sister calling her upset and telling her that they were gonna keep me overnight because they wanted to keep an eye on me AND giving me discharge papers that very clearly said what they were treating me for.
i mean ffs the woman's husband has had so many heart attacks over the years you'd THINK she'd recognize the signs.
but obvs i was faking it all yes of course :)
anyway my aunt is a piece of shit and that post always makes me think of her and the time i was Experiencing a Heart Moment
