I'm adding Insomnia to the list now. I mentioned in my previous post that my heartburn was getting pretty bad...I woke up around 130am with an esophogus screaming i'm on fire. Finally decided something had to be done, so I woke up my parents and they eventually called the doctor and he decided it'd be best I stop by the ER to get checked out. Midnight road trip down to the south side!! Wasn't very enjoyable, we got down there fast tho...Mother decided to drive, dad stayed home because of work. It took us a good 30 minutes to get there, and once we did everything went pretty smoothly....We were the only ones in the waiting room. They made the decisiton to put me in isolation, for heartburn?!? Yikess...Better safe than sorry I guess.
This is where one needs a lot of patience. I think I was put into my little isolation room at around 330am. From there it took about 30 min for a doc to show up...After that I had chest xray then more waiting...Finally I get results at 530am. What they decided to to was give me a stronger prescription for the heartburn. That really took a load off. When they have you waiting in there for so long, the whole "what if this" starts to creep into your head.
I was home by 830am. Running on a few hours of sleep we managed to stop by a mcdonalds to get some pancakes. Yes, light and fluffly they sat pretty well and put me into a wonderfull food coma once I arrived home. I slept like a baby. Felt super refreshed when I woke up around 1100am. By this time the hearburn was going away, eating was easiER. Still felt weird but the burning was gone...
I went out a few hours later with a buddy of mine for walk. Ahhh fresh air, got to clear the mind a bit. Think we did about a mile then headed over to IHOP for some more pancakes haha. Hey they are they only thing i can find that sits pretty well so why not??? So its 430am now, I'm tired, hungry, and been up since 2. Food sounds good right now....
ciao

ReplyDeleteSam, I just talked to your Mom and you are back in the hospital. You're becoming a real troublemaker. No, your Mom says you're a real trooper and I'm sorry that you have to go through the chemo but it sounds like it's really helping. I'm glad your heartburn is better. I loved reading your blog, and can't wait to see you to yell at you for being such a troublemaker! I'm trying to figure out what to make (dinner) for you. Please tell me some things that you like! Hang in there because there are a lot of bicycle races waiting for you! Love, Judy P.
