Life in the ER

So Last night i got to experience the ER for the 4th time in my life.

I was having chest pains since lunch yesterday, and at first we thought it was just trapped gas.  But it kept getting worse no matter what I did, and it hurt worse when I would breathe.  So at 8:30 we headed out to the ER to make sure I was ok.  They did and EKG to rule out heart problems, and chest xrays to rule out my lungs.  Apparently I have what’s known as Costochondritis.  It’s where my rib cage (on the left side in my case) is inflamed, and that’s what hurts so bad.  It’s either stress related (which I have been under an unusual amount of stress this past week) or I hurt myself helping haul trees Saturday…or it’s a combo of both.

I will be ok though.  They put me on 600mg of ibuprofen and  some hydrocodone.  So I’m feeling a little better, but I still hurt pretty bad…plus the pain comes and goes.  They told me I could go back to work tomorrow if I felt like it, but I may stay home just to be on the safe side.  I don’t want this getting worse than it already is.

Michael was such a trooper today though.  He helped my parentals cut down more trees, he washed ALL of my laundry, cleaned the litter box, and got me anything I needed.  He is so incredibly amazing.  I could not ask for a better man to marry!  God has certainly blessed us!

Ok, that’s it for now.  i need to get to bed before this medicine hits!
