after I landed poorly on my foot while going down the stairs today. Thought for sure I had broken my ankle, sure feels like there's some bone-on-bone action going on in there...OUCH...but luckily it's only sprained! They wrapped me up w/ an Ace Bandage, put on an inflatable splint, crutches & gave me some Tylenol w/ Codeine & sent me on my merry way. (Still having a hard time believing it's not broken...sure feels like there's some bone-on-bone action...very localized pain...ouch!)
Anyways...we were home no longer than 15 minutes when I started getting chest pains! YEOUCH! It freaked me out because I've already had my gall bladder removed, so what else feels like a heart attack but a heart attack? Waited a good 15 minutes...through about 4 waves of severe pain (constricting pain, radiated around to the back & hard to breathe) & some serious sweating (I was drenched!) & I finally got Brad to call 911. (poor Sam...he was balling, like me, he was so scared...I had Brad go calm him down while I was dealing w/ myself. Brayden was being a good nurse, trying to take care of me! LOL!!) Paramedics came, hooked me up to a heart monitor & everything looked good, but as I was still having these attacks, they took me to the ER. 2 more waves on the way there & then they stopped! The nurse that helped me earlier saw me & said "hey...you were just here!!" LOL!
So...what was it? I was having some sort of reaction to the stupid codeine!!! What a relief, I can tell you! Had to call Sam right away @ my neigbors house to let him know I was okay. (poor guys...spent the first half of the afternoon @ one neighbor's & the 2nd half @ another neighbor!!)
Well, anyways...I'm home now...exhausted & feeling like crud & really bummed out that I didn't get out for my walk today!! LOL! (the boys & I were JUST heading out to buy them some new shoes...guess they'll have to wait!!) But also relieved that my ankle is JUST sprained & hopefully I'll be back on my feet soon. I’m also bummed because I won’t be able to go on a field trip w/ Brayden tomorrow! :o(
So...how was your day?? :o)
