Getting my wisdom teeth removed... Kinda

Jul 14, 2006 14:17

So I was on the way to getting my wisdom teeth removed yesterday, and I ended up at the hospital... hows that for an intro sentence? My mom and I were driving down north avenue on our way to the oral surgeon, and I started getting extreme pain in the left side of my body. The left part of my chest, my left arm, and the left part of my cerebural cortex started to ache with pain, and it hurt to breathe, at all.

This was when I decided that it was a good idea to go to the hospital. We went to the emergengcy room, and I burst into tears because it hurt so much, when the doctor asked me to rate my pain on a scale of 0 to 10, ten being the most pain i could ever imagine, i said about a 9 or a 10. After about 4 hours of that, I finally calmed down, and the pain subsided to a dull constant pain that stayed with me for the rest of the day.

I stayed overnight in the hospital and they gave me 3 EKGs, took my blood 4 times, and asked me hundreds of questions, and they still dont know what is wrong with me. They think that the outer liner that surrounds my heart has a virus of some sort that made it expand, so there was a space between my heart and the outer liner. Therefore, every time my heart would beat it would hit the outer liner, giving me the immense pain that I was feeling.

I feel better now, I'm home, I'm tired, I'm on anti-inflamitory drugs, and the pain is kind of going in waves of nonexistant to moderatley uncomfertable.

weird huh?
