What A Weekend

I spent the weekend in the hospital.  I was having problems catching my breath, there was a sharp pain shooting through my back, pain going down my left arm, and pain in my left sciatica going down to my toes.  I was put in the new observation room.   I had fantastic and smiling nurses, techs, and aides!!!  1 of the techs, every time he heard me move, he was in the room like lightening asking if I was ok and if he could get me something.  He quickly learned I loved crushed ice and he always made sure I had plenty while he was there.  :)  Lots of lab work was drawn, EKGs were done, and a MRI with contrast was done.  1 of the techs who performed the MRI said I was the easiest she had done all night.  I smiled and told her that was because I was sleeping.  I have had so many that I usually sleep through them.  They were all laughing and smiling....just how we are supposed to be!!!  :)  The EKGs and blood work didn't show any signs of a heart attack.  The MRI showed some disk spaces were lower in height on some of them on the left but nothing requiring surgery.  I was given prednisolone (If you ever have to take this, put honey on them and chase them with water and they go right down without the nasty taste.) flexeril, and a mild pain killer to take and was dismissed.
When I initially tell someone I have 3 cerebral anuerysms, their first reaction is I'm so sorry!  I tell them please do not feel sorry for me!  The way I feel now since that miraculous May 11th day is totally amazing!!!  Do you remember as a child how you felt when Christmas and the day of your birthday arrived?  Combine ALL of that happiness together....I feel like that EVERY day!!!  I wouldn't trade May 11th or the rest of my journey for the world!!!
Smile and laugh often, love ALWAYS!!!

No one knows how much pain I am in because the happiness I have in my heart ALWAYS shines through!  Many blessings and lots of love to ALL of you!!!
