Never Said I was Smart
I went to the ER today after having chest pain all week. I was freaked out, but it turns out I'm ok, just really stupid. I've known since 2004 that I have acid reflux, and I have to be more careful what I eat, but this past month I've been eating spicy food for every meal and feeling the pain and ignoring it. Genius. The doctors were straight with me, telling me about all the bad things that could happen if I don't watch what I eat more carefully. I already have burns on my esophagus from all the excess acid, I could get tears in my esophagus, I'm at higher risk for tumors, etc. Time for me to stop being an idiot. I took a trip to Walmart, and now I have some yummy non-spicy food to eat, and I'm hoping it will get better soon.
