Well, that was...NOT fun!!!
So yesterday at work I felt like I was having symptoms of a heart attack and the pain was getting worse. I came home from work and Steven took me to the ER where we were advised to go. They ran a bunch of tests; EKG, X-Ray, bloodwork, all came back clear, not a heart attack. So what was it then? They thought maybe my gallbladder so I stayed overnight so I could have an ultrasound EARLY this morning. That was the worst night EVER. LOUD, BRIGHT, ROOMMATE...all of it was terrible. My IV hurt from the moment it was stuck in me, the nurses partied all night long and were LOUD, the lights for goodness sakes, I felt like I was at a ball game at night, my roommate, yes I said roommate, SNORED! It was just not fun for me. Anyway, ultrasound came back clear too, which I felt were good signs except we still didn't know what was wrong with me. Final diagnosis...extreme heartburn/acid reflux most likely cause by recent stress and anxiety. So I hope to eliminate the stress and was prescibed some Prilosec. I hope to never experience the hospial again. Unless giving birth, I hate to be there! Thanks for all those who were praying, thanks Heather for staying until I was ready to fall alseep last night, thanks to my work for the beautiful flowers, thanks Pastor Steve for the visit and thanks Steven for rescuing me today and bringing me HOME!!!

I hope you feel better!!! What an ordeal! I hate loud nurses and those lights!
We'll be praying!
Oh girl you had me scared. I saw a post on the board, then read Steven's message. My gosh! Im glad that it was nothing major. Sorry about the terrible hospital experience!
I'm so glad to hear you are okay! How scary. Let me know how the meds work... stress/anxiety is never fun. I'm thinking of you!
Hey no problem....like I could have just sat at home while my bff was in the hospital!!! I'm just SO HAPPY that you are okay.
That is awful! I know hospitals are the worst. I remember the nights when it was loud for me. When reading I remember my whole gallbladder ordeal. We will be thinking and praying for you! Glad to hear you are at home.
I am glad that you are doing better. Let me know if their is anything that I can do for you.
Oh Salena, sorry to hear about that! Hospitals are no fun all around :) I hope you are feeling better! Take care and I'll pray for ya.
Have a blessed Ressurection Day!!!
