What a start to the new year

I have had quite an interesting start to the new year. The first week i was enjoying a wonderful cruise to the Bahamas with my mom (which i'll write another post with picture later). It was probably one of the most amazing vacations i've been on yet. And then i came home, i was exhausted from the trip but other then things were getting back to normal.

But last week i ended up spending most of my week either in a dr's office, urgent care, and ended up in the ER. It was mostly because i was having this severe pain in my left ribcage for several days and it was going on away but getting worst. Now it's been 10 days since it started. So monday i was at an appointmnet with my cardiologist for my heart conditon and because of all that was going on with that, i forgot to mention the pain i've been having.

So i went another few days without doing anything about it. Tuesday night the pain got real bad to the point that i couldn't sit up or be up for that matter without the pain being bad. And even when i laid down it still hurt. So after not sleeping much because of it i decided to see my dr. And to make a long story a little bit shorter, my sister ended up taking me to the ugrent care.

Which by the way i have the most amazing sister in the whole wide world. Despite of her being sick with mono and haveing to deal with alot of other things right now, she dropped everything and came to help me out. She brought me to the urgent care, then took me home with her so i would have someone there if i needed someone, and took me to the Er and stay with me the whole time. She is simply amazing!!

So back to what happened...urgent care said it was chest wall pain and gave me pain medicine then sent me home. So we were on our way home and they called me telling me to come back. They said that something showed up on the lab tests that could mean i had a kidney stone. I was thinking...what in the world you've got to be kidding me. So they did another xray to look for kidney stones, and found none. So they sent me home again

That night the pain started to be really sharp and felt like it was shooting up into my chest. So after talking to my dr's in the morning, we went to the Er. Which is where i spent most of the afternoon. I had a bunch of cat scans done, ekg, and blood work. They had a hard time trying to get the iv in, so now my arm is severely bruised and looks horrible but it's getting better. All the tests came back ok.

So they said that i somehow managed to injure my rib. Funny thing is i don't remember what i did to cause so much pain. So i'm back home trying to take it easy and praying my rib gets better soon.
