Hello Everyone!
Because I don't want anyone to worry I will quickly update you on what is going on.
Monday I wasn't feeling well after my 1st class so I decided to skip out on the rest o the school day and head home early.
Tuesday I woke up peeing a little bit of blood, but by the end of the day I was peeing a LOT of bright red blood and was begged by my husband to do to urgent care.
At urgent care I was diagnosed with a Kidney Infection.
Being that I had no other symptoms besides the blood in my urine, they wanted to later check for kidney cancer. Just a precaution.
Starting Thursday I begin to have mild discomfort in my upper abdomen.
By Sunday afternoon the mild discomfort began to turn into pain. The pain started in the middle of my chest and radiated up through my left side and left arm.
By 4:30pm I could take it no longer so I headed to Urgent Care. I figured it was either a gallbladder attack, very bad indigestion, or a possible side effect of the medicine.
While at Urgent Care I was so uncomfortable with the chest pain that I started to break out in a sweat. When the doctor walked in the exam room I tried by best to explain my symptoms. At that point it was hurting so bad that I could no longer hold back the tears of stress.
Once the Doctor say my medical history they gave me an aspirin, hooked me up to a monitor and oxygen, and called the ambulance.
I refused the ambulance, saying that I would drive myself to the ER, but they were insistent that I did not drive.
So I had them call my husband to come pick me up.
Roger arrived with the kids in tow.
The doctors were still insistent that I take the ambulance. So, In the end I took the ambulance and felt like a total idiot. I just KNEW it had nothing to do with my heart but whenever people see my heart history, on top of me having chest pain, they freak out.

Once in the ER I refused all medical tests involving my heart. As I signed the papers saying that I would not sue the hospital if I indeed died of a heart attack, I explained to the doctors and RNs that it WAS something in my stomach area.
Little Anna refused to get near me, while Paul stood in the corner praying. I could see that this whole ordeal was upsetting the kids so I asked Roger try to find someone to come get them.
Our good friend Carla, who has 2 children of her own, got our kids and our house key. She fed them dinner, took our dog out to pee, grabbed all the stuff that the kids would need for school the next day, and took them to her house. Such a BIG help!

After a million tests the verdict was . . . "We don't know why you are hurting, but here is a prescription for some antacids."
Damn it.
That was the WHOLE reason I went to urgent care. I knew I probably had something simple like that. Since I was already in the ER I requested an ultra sound on my aorta, kidneys and gallbladder. That seems to be all ruled out so I am feeling mentally MUCH better.
Well, minus the bill from the ambulance and the ER.
