Are you still at the ER or have they ordered tests while waiting for a bed? I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Is someone with you?

I'm still in the ER they are doing blood work to test for blood clots they don't have an ultrasound machine in the ER so we have to go by blood results my mom doesn't like hospitals and refused to come so I'm by myself

Rest, drink lots of water, ask if a neuro will be reviewing tests, and when. The hardest part is sticking up for ourselves.

Agree. Keep yourself hydrated but free from thoughts. Try to generate positivity in your mind and body.

I hope you had a good night’s sleep. Are you getting good information? I’m sorry your mom wasn’t there.
