i hate hospitals.
i thought you guys might like to know what has been going on in my life.
or maybe i just wanted to get this off my chest.
well, yesterday after practice my hand/forearm swelled up to twice its size.
it then turned purple and got very cold.
i went to the trainers and the clinic on campus.
neither of them did anything for me.
they told me to just rest it and see what happened.
OH GOOD....SO MY ARM COULD JUST FALL OFF.
seriously my arm looked dead. it was just haning there not moving.
and this strange color.
i got mike to take me to the hospital where i was for FIVE HOURS.
and in the pediatric ward.
because in boston you are a Pedi until you turn 22.
so you can vote, possibly drink...but you still have to go to pediatrics.
i got all kinds of tests done.
and then they told me i have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
which means there is something blocking the blood from flowing to my arm.
it is most likely my muscles after they are strained.
which is in direct relation to my shoulder.
because my shoulder won't stay were it is suppose to other muscles are working super hard and then restricting blood vessels and nerves.
don't forget it is midterm week and i now have two papers to write.
even though it hurts for me to type.
my arm is so tired/sore.
i am about five seconds from ripping it out.
all i want is for someone to tell me EXACTLY what is wrong with it and how i can fix it.
because whatever they are having me do now obviously is not working.
