Info about my ER visit
Here is more detail about my ER visit this past weekend – all is fine.
So starting last Sunday I started having lots of pain in my right check. When it first started I just assumed it was a pulled muscle or something, but as the week went on it got worse and I could tell it wasn’t muscular because I couldn’t stretch it out and movement didn’t affect it. It was a sharp pain anytime I took in a breath, coughed, etc. Thursday night I was doing pretty good while up and walking around, but then I went to lay down on the couch and it the pain level would jump when I went to lay back or on my side. So by Saturday morning Id had a few nights of not being able to sleep well and still things weren’t improving at all. So that morning I went to the Urgent care. They did an EKG and the doc came in and said that they needed to do a CAT scan but didn’t have that there, so I had to go to an ER. At the time they were considering me at risk for pulmonary embolism primarily due to the fact that it all started the day after our 14 hour drive. So I went to the ER. The ER doc explained that my EKG was also questionable because most people’s hearts sit to the left, but mine showed that it was sitting to the right – something that they see if there is a clot in the right lung because it pulls the heart to the right. I went to CAT scan which all ended up coming back clean, they didn’t see any clots or masses. So I was discharged with anti-inflammatory because it defaults to assuming that I had a viral infection in the lining around my lung. So now I also know that my heart sits to the wrong side normally, which is no issue, won’t cause any problems or anything, just good to know for future EKGs. Since then it is getting better. Really only feel it now if I have a deep laugh or cough.
So Turner had gone with me to the Urgent Care so we could spend some “special time” together. He was so concerned about if the doctors were going to do anything to hurt me, and then when I told him I had to go to another hospital he freaked out saying he didn’t want me to die. I got him calmed down telling him they just needed to take a special picture of mommy and they didn’t have the right camera there. I took him back home before the ER and had Aaron stay home with all the kids to keep them (and him) preoccupied with something else. Aaron was kind of freaking out too. I was for a while between hearing about the abnormal EKG and before I had results of the CAT scan, but at least knew I was in the hospital if it was anything. Finally after 5 hours and a $100 co-pay I got to go home with a clean bill of health. As soon as I got home we started putting up our Christmas Decorations, and about 10 minutes in to doing that it started snowing some of the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen and we all went outside running around in the snow. Couldn’t have been more perfect timing. Plus Aaron and I had a babysitter set up for Saturday night – our first time alone since being in NC, so we were really happy we didn’t have to cancel our date night. Sunday we picked out the “perfect” 2010 Lively Family Christmas tree and got it up and decorated and made some batches of Christmas cookies – so we are finally in the holiday spirit around the house.

Fun Weekend
We had such a good weekend this weekend. Friday night we went to a High School football game for our local team and a nearby rival. It was so much fun. The atmosphere was great. I told Aaron I'm not sure who will be more excited when he starts coaching. I just love it. I was however glad that I wasn't a young HS girl trying to dress to impress and freezing my buns off like they must have been - as I was sitting in my jeans, sweatshirt, and covered in a blanket - and they'd have on shorts and tanks to distracted by impressing boys to notice the cold. Do you think it makes me old that I just wanted to wrap them up in my blanket and tell them they were going to catch a cold out in this weather dressed like that!!! Oh well, to them I am ancient, and it does make me smile to know that they too will one day be thinking the same thing. Saturday we all went out shopping to get the kids some long pants and shirts. Happened upon a sale at Old Navy that was "kids shop free" Basically for every adult items, you got a kids item for free. Well that just meant that Aaron and I got a free item for every item the kids needed! Once we were home I finished dinner. Had out a turkey breast in the crockpot that morning so finished that, made some jalepeno twice baked mashed potatoes, and for desert had a pumpkin crisp with ice cream.....YUMMY!!! It was one of the best meals I've ever had! I'd been craving all of those items, so it was fully satisfying. Sunday we went to the State Fair and met up with Page, Neil and Aaron. Turner was super excited to see Aaron again (they were our partners in crime at the camping trip). They have this special handshake where they punch their fists together and blow it up - POW. It is cute. Turner has really been missing having boys around, so it is nice for him. It was good to be at the fair, but lots of walking, and carrying Austin since he decided he didn't want to walk at all and only wanted mommy to carry him. Needless to say, my arms feel like I was doing pull-ups all day yesterday. He is a solid boy! We didn't end up getting to see too much because it just wasn't all working together, but we are still glad that we went. And now today i'm back at work:( This job is slowing sucking the life out of me - but hey, it pays the bills. And I still have hope that it will get better, so I'll stick it out for now. Just realized that one month from tomorrow we will be leaving for Florida for Disney World!!!!! I CAN"T WAIT! |
