"Feeling Weak & At A Loss - Health Link 811 Support Made Me Feel Better"

About: Health Link 811 Wetaskiwin Hospital & Care Centre / Emergency

(as the patient),

I've been in and out of outpatient several times in the past week. Called 811 twice. Waiting for procedures this week coming, I felt horrible still and didn't want to go back to the hospital again as was just there. I haven't eaten in a week and wasn't hungry but felt weak and no energy I didn't know what to eat as everything goes right through me. I was directed in what to eat and make sure I get electrolytes into me as well. I'm not 100% better but I had the energy to feed my farm animals. This wasn't really an 811 call but more my brain was in a state I didn't know what to do. Thank you 811 operator/ RN you made me feel better, till more tests can be done.
