Aug. 24th, 2007 12:24 pmIt's rare that I hate MARTA. Tom's on his way home to help me out. The migraine is having new and interesting side effects. My doctor wants me to go to the ER for a workup.
I'm a bit nervous.
I'm a bit nervous.
I went to the ER about 1:30 this afternoon. I took a cab, because the girls were napping, and they would have done poorly in the ER. I know, I know. Tom was willing to drive me, but I figured that if it was really serious, he'd come to the hospital anyways with the kids later.
I was triaged very quickly and put into a room. Everyone kept checking me for stroke symptoms (AIGHIE!). After blood draws and an EKG, it was determined I was having an "adverse reaction" to my newish migraine medicine, which was causing flushing, numbness of head, hearing going in and out, and generally WheeeeeeFun!
They gave me an injection of a painkiller and discharged me about 4. Tom and the girls picked me up at 4:40. I passed that time having a super late lunch and reading a celebrity magazine. I have the attention span of a gnat right now, which was perfect for the OK! Weekly or whatever I wasted $3.00 on. :)
We stopped by Costco to pick up a few items and to feed everyone else a quick dinner, since I was not going to be cooking tonight. ;) I filled a prescription for Lortab, and I have to contact my doctor come Monday to get a prescription for another migraine medicine. So if anyone wants about 55 Epidrin, let me know. (Kidding, mostly.)
We got home about 7, but the power was out. It just came back a few minutes ago, and I wrestled Tom for the laptop, because I had to let you know how I was doing...
Please ignore my typos. I'm exhausted and in pain.
