Early Friday morning, I woke up around 1:30am not breathing... The only thought that came to my head was "This isn't working, this isn't working.. BREATHE!" I took my inhaler then ran down stairs to my Mother who was soundly sleeping in her bed. I went to the side of the bed and said "Mom....Mom....Mom....Mom" ...Didn't wake her up. So, I started to nudge her while saying "Mom....Mom...Mom...Mom.." (finally) She flew out of the bed, Both arms AND legs in the air saying "WHAT?!? WHERE AM I? WHAT TIME IS IT? WHAT'S WRONG?!" (Please note by this point my Dad has joined her and I'm trying to hold in my giggles)
Since going out in the cold (trying to get my throat to open) wasn't working Mom rushed me in the car and to the hospital.
--If any of you are wondering how the new hospital is... It's very nice! Clean, Roomy...you can find a parking place! It's great ( : --
Anway.. I got back to my room and had oxygen in my nose (which didn't even work because my nose was stuffy) My Mom being who she is, was uploading pictures to FaceBook of me crying in the bed. haha! I love her.
The respiratory therapist (The dude who gave me all my breathing treatments) was very nice, He gave me 3 breathing treatments while in between having to listen to my lungs and having me do the peek flow meter. My breathing was so bad they had me wait an hour to do another treatment that was an HOUR long! During my hour wait, I got chest xrays and an IV put in my hand (....twice....I'm not a fan of needles).
Now me and mom are back in the room while I have this thing on my face that makes me look like an alien. By this point I have the giggles and can't contain sanity... Every time I'd laugh or move my heart rate meter would sound an alarm. hahah! THAT got annoying pretty quick. Oh, and did I mention the lady in the room beside us was throwing up like no tomorrow? Yeah, I couldn't handle myself...
Finally I was done and REALLY ready to get the IV outta my hand, Every time someone would walk by they were like "I can't hear you breathe!"
So anyway, I got home went to sleep for about an hour... then ate tacobell. (:
Don't ask me why I blogged about this... I just did.
It's really not even a blog, It's a story (Hence the title).
so, enjoy ^-^
