stillroseOk..all first off I'm good. Seriously...I am good.
However..the last couple of days my chest hurt when I took too deep of breath..and well..breathing was just a little rough. At first I thought it was just my anxiety as I had some plumbing issues last night and I nearly hit a deer (don't worry..deer and I both had faster reflexes then we thought and no one was harmed). Still after the nice friendly plumber came and fixed my sink and I got to work..I still was having problems.
Called the nurse triage line...and they were like..."Get thee to an ER" and I was like "Seriously?" and they were like "Seriously!". I was like, "You want me to drive to the ER?" and they were like, "NO, we want someone else to drive you to the ER!"
So I got my co-worker M to take me while another co-worker told my boss and my bosses boss (whom I had very important meeting with some development people on a project) and we left. To make this already incredibly long story shorter, they did the full work up..EKG..chest Xrays..bloodwork. urine sample..etc...and hey..since there's a history of pulmonary embolism in the family..they threw in a CT scan just for good measure. All good!
However, they did pump me up with steroids and an inhaler as I've had asthmatic symptoms with my allergies before and see that's the kicker. All this boiled down to an asthmatic attack because once the inhaler and the steroids kicked in..well the chest still hurt a bit..but suddenly...OMG...I realized just HOW badly I'd been breathing before!
But see..I never knew an asthma attack came in that flavor..you know without all the wheezing and coughing. Every other time...every other time I'd always hear that whistling in my chest, I'd be coughing my head off or both.
So...the bois came and got me from the ER (taking over for M). Made sure I had a good dinner with them, S and A. Then K took me to get all my scripts filled and dropped me off at home with orders from B to drink some mint tea..and then go to bed. I'm supposed to check in with them in the morning.
Apparently I worried them. :(
So...obviously no Sneering tonight. :(
Anyway...bottom line..I am good. I'm breathing much much much better. I'll be following up my family doctor in a week.

PS I still half suspect OC is behind the whole thing as revenge for his vet visit. ;)
