Ouch...

There is a first for everything! Well for the last six days I've had an awful pain in my ribs. It started on Thursday hurting in my shoulder and then moved down to my ribs on Friday after my Mountain bike ride with Annalee. So my first thought was a muscle strain but heat packs, advil and relaxing..It wasn't getting better. So as the days went on the pain was constant. Then all the sudden during the movie "The Avengers" I couldn't breathe. Every breathe was extremely painful. Then I started to feel bubbling in my ribs. I was still hesitant to go to the ER because my head was so full. My mom made the decision and just drove us up there. I got the loyalty treatment in the hospital. We registered and walked straight in, we didn't have to wait in the waiting room. My mom had the room all set up by the time we registered. I walked in and Cass dressed me in the gown while my mom was poking me with needles. I peed in a cup, got a EKG, and got my labs drawn in matter of minutes. It wasn't an emergency I just had the BEST two ER employees ever! They gave me pain meds which helped tremendously and got an xray. I had Dr. Johnson. She was a younger lady and was great! She was so smart and connected with me. My x-ray's came back they were good. That made me happy, but I was still hurting. Before coming into the ER we thought it may be a blood clot. I'm on birth control and that has high risks for blood clots. The blood test came back negative for that, so I was happy again. My EKG came back and I have inverted P waves and have PVC's randomly. That could be caused by paracarditis, which is inflammation of the sack around the heart. The pain in the ribs was my lung was pluerisy. An inflammation of the cavity around my left lung. It hurts like crazy! Every breath in and out felt like a sharp stabbing pain.

Our first Medical bill together ;) awhhh...
