ER

[lunalovegoddess]

Oh, joy. I just spent the night at the ER with chest pain. My pulse ox and blood pressure were good, my chest x-ray and EKG clear, so they sent me home. All that they could tell was that there was some inflammation of the chest wall, which could mean anything, really. So I got home at 4am, got the kids ready for school at 5, and then collapsed into bed at 7. On a good note, though, I had to wash off the sticky stuff so I got my shower already. Now it's time to eat.

How's everyone else doing?

EDIT 11:13pm:
Thank you, everyone, for your empathy. To answer your question, I'm doing okay today even though I never got to the store to buy ibuprofen. Instead, I spent my waking hours watching the first season of Lost, which I'd only seen the pilot for. I'm still mostly weirded out because of the upheaval of my sleep, so I'm not ready to go to sleep even though I know that I have to be up at 5am. Tomorrow after the kids go to school, I have to take out the trash and then bring the pets to the vet for their shots. That way we can board them at the kennel next Friday. I don't know the neighbors well enough to ask them to check on the pets for us and the house is a mess, so this is the best option.

Well, I'm having more TEA DAMMIT, lol, so I probably will be up for a little while longer. Hope that everyone is having a good night.

Holy crap!! Don't scare me like that!! You're gonna keep us informed on that, aren't you?
*hugs* Troublesome Brenda.

As for me, business as usual. I'm depressed because I still can't write anything. Not much else.

I will. *hugs* I'm supposed to arrange a follow-up visit with my doctor.
I haven't written anything in months, although I had one or two story ideas. I'm not pushing it at the moment. I'll find my muse again. Usually I would be freaking out over this, but I just have so much going on right now.

Are you feeling any better? *hugs*

You poor thing! The inflammation could be anything from asthma to bronchitis (at least that's what I've learned from listening to my nurse mother). But if it is an infection, the good news is that antibiotics should help. If it's not an infection, steroids should help. So hopefully you'll be all better soon.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent the day in bed with aweful cramps. OK that probably doesn't help. Just hope you feel better. :)
