Visit to the ER yesterday

Oct 13, 2009

Yup, 5 hours in the ER.........but with a positive result

i still am having difficulties taking a deep breathe because my left ribs really hurt and i get winded if i'm talking too much.  So, after 2 days of pain...........i thought it would be best to call the surgeon just in case.   There were 3 possibilities

1. muscular
2.  skeletal
3.  blood clot in the lung

i had a CT Scan and it showed NO BLOOD CLOT.  that was exciting to hear....i didnt realize how much fear i have with those words.   anyway, the ER guy thought that it most likely was skeletal since they had to push down a lot on my ribs to maneuver.  something i didn't think of ......

last week, when the stomach pain was so great, it was my primary pain..........now since its decreasing more and more.......my secondary pain on my side is becoming the primary.  that is why i didn't notice it before.........so the professionals tell me.  makes sense........
