I am a Big Pain in the...toe
Well, I have had my fair share of Emergency Rooms, hospitals, ambulance, doctors offices and monitors.
The night before I left AZ, I was pushing the large garbage can out to the curb, and proceeded to get my big TOENAIL RIPPED OFF! I Had to go to the ER and have 4 sutures put in. It hurt so BAD! I wanted to throw-up.
Then, I get back to this side of the U.S.
and got to feel what it feels like to have a Heart Attack. That hurts too. After going to the podiatrist to have my toe dressing re-dressed, I went over to Walgreens to develop some pictures and while sitting there, I SUDDENLY started having BAD chest pain. Then I got clammy, and that turned into sweating PROFUSELY. I sat there for about 5 minutes hoping it would pass. It didn't. I told the clerk I was having real BAD chest pain, she called 911 and the Pharmacist came out and gave me an aspirin & checked BP, next paramedics, ambulance, O2, Nitroglycerin, IV's , EKG, etc.
Greg praying that they hurry up and release me. Not Really. His back his killing him, and he's stretching it. Poor guy. He came down to the hospital to check on me and stay with me. Sweet guy. Monitors, big toe pain, blood draws, EKG's, Oxygen, blah, blah, blah.
DIAGNOSIS -- Angina. Angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) is chest pain or discomfort that occurs if an area of your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood.
Angina may manifest itself in the form of an angina attack, pain or discomfort in the chest that typically lasts from 1 to 15 minutes. The condition is classified by the pattern of attacks into stable, unstable, and variant angina.
So, more tests this week. I anticipate everything will check out just fine.
I'm more worried about this stupid big toe! I can't wear a shoe. I can't ride a bike, or walk the dog. I'm limping around and........
