Krafty Max Originals: Terrific Tuesday 11/6/12

Life seems to find a way to tell us to slow down and make a change, even if we don't want to. For about a week I had been having shooting pain down my neck, back shoulder blades and top of the ribs on the right side. The best way I can describe it is as a 'stitch in your side' that just wont go away. when I moved or took a deep breath I was in severe pain. It would come and go during the day, but at night when I was sitting in the evenings it was the worst. I took some 'gas' pills and that seemed to help, but then it would come back. I kept thinking it was 'just gas' and so I just put up with it.

Then Sunday night as I sat calmly watching TV I got a whole body flush and very nauseous. Time to go, I thought. Leaving the kids as home I went to the local clinic (it was closest) and after an EKG and some other monitoring I was told to go to the emergency room. More EKG's and more testing and I was told that I wasn't have a heart atacht or stroke, but I was having a 'irregular' heartbeat. So, I was admitted.

Many test, many EKG's, a stress test and no sleep, fluids or food for almost 20 hours and I was told that I was OK. My tests all ended up OK, and they think I have 2 problems. I have a gastro inflammation and a strained neck mussel that is causing the pain down my neck and back. The irregular heartbeat - still there, but just makes me 'a little different'.

So, it is back to life, back to reality for me!!

And, more beading, it will help me keep calm, right??!?!!!
