What a day ...
The last few weeks I've noticed that I have a pain in my chest, the location of the pain varies from day to day. One day it hurts all across the top from my collar bone to both shoulders and down to just below my breasts, the next day its in my right shoulder and arm. It was bothering me so much this evening that I called my son's aunt, my friend Anna and asked for advise (mistake #1) Anyway, she told me that I needed to go to the ER and get checked out, well, I asked her to pick up my boys from her step-daughter's house and she told me that she would. So I went onto the ER. When I got there, my blood pressure was 170/100 pulse 79. They just said it was high. They hooked me up to monitors and stuff ... blood pressure the next reading was lower, they didn't take any blood for any tests, but they did do a couple of X-Rays. Before I left, my blood pressure was something like 135/40 ... My Mom said that was lower than her blood pressure and hers is always low .... The conclusion of today's visit was Chest Strain and they gave me muscle relaxers and some anti-inflammation medication. Also a $50 co-pay for nothing and have to follow up with my doctor next week. Joy Joy Fun Fun!
I get ready to leave the ER, only to find out that Anna didn't pick up my boys ... after she told me that she would .... Which I don't mind my boys staying with Jen while I was at the ER, but didn't think it was fair for her to have to keep them from 7AM till after 9PM .... Austin thought I was out with the guys from work ... I'm glad they didn't tell him where I was, but hope that he doesn't think something is wrong the next time I go out with the guys....
All is well, I'm home, boys are great .... now to start the weekend .....
