Im home, exhausted, but home. [View all]

Lactate acidosis, is final diagnoses.
Was a tense 40 hours at VA. More than a couple, " discussions" I haven't slept a wink.
Basically, I had gastric bypass many years, ago. I know, if I take, a new script, if something, doesn't feel , right. Something g isn't right.
ER nurse, kept count of how many times, I reminded, her, that I had that.
I finally told her, " get out of your script cook book! " she replied, " you lactic acid is , over, 5! "
Then Dr. Comes in, we butted heads, for a few minutes.
I agreed to be admitted, so I was admitted,
Blood draw at 4 am this, morn, my lactate acid, was 0.3.
Head nurse came in, redrew, and was 0.2.
I told, her"
" I know my body, I know the drugs, you ask me , to take, I know, these drugs, that make me, feel this way."
Anyway, I'm home, I'll need my Healthcare, from VA,
They had me on pills, that absorbed lactic acid,
It took me , fighting for me,
The Doc who , released, me, said,
You, were right"
And all of a sudden, I'm home
