I have no good title for this. 'Ouch', maybe?

The last few days have had me in awful pain, with little sleep. something's making my chest and side hurt horribly, like a sharp, throbbing pain. It's there constantly when I lie down, along with an ache-though that thankfully is eased by pain killers-the actual pain, is not. Which means I can easily fall asleep on my side, but if I roll over in the night it wakes me up. It takes my breath away at times and the first time it happened I thought I was having a heart attack or something. I'm way too fucking young for that. Then it stopped and boy was I releived. If I let it happen, just lay back and try to relax, it's rhythm is like a heartbeat; ba-doom ba-doom ba-doom. Most unsettling.

The good news is that the hospital today could find nothing obviously wrong with my heart, but couldn't say there definitely was nothing wrong. The bad news is that they don't know what is wrong, and I am therefore still in pain.

There isn't anything else to really say, except, ouch, it hurts.

God, chest pain, another thing my father and I have in common. I think I could live without that one.

And Mayo's new blog made me think of the letter I wrote for my father...it's all about the memories. It really is.

Maybe you should look to your lifestyle choices, Wisheroo. Might hold the key to your health problem! Brought it on yourself?

Hiya Wish sweetie. If only you knew the full story. We've been complaining to the council for about 20 years now. They haven't done a thing apart from a few wishy washy letters and a few visits where he promises them to be good. Never is though.



I'm glad they found nothing wrong. Doesn't really help you with the pain though does it?

I hope you manage to shake it off sweetie.

Thank, Anon. Actually, it has nothing to do with my 'lifestyle choices' as you so nicely put it. I know what you're talking about and you're wrong. Heart problems and pains are a very common thing in my family.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

As for lifestyle choices, sometimes it's not that easy to walk away. However it does appear to be easy to shake a finger at someone if you've never experienced something like addiction.

I had chest pains a few year ago, turns out it was allgergies. I got tested for Lupus, blockages, all sorts of stuff. Now I take Claritin or Benadryl and I'm fine.

Hiya Wish. Wow, your council seems to deal with this crap a hell of a lot better than ours. We honestly feel like he's allowed to get away with torturing us with noise. He had it on again last night. It never ends.

I'm so glad you are feeling a bit better. I hope you continue to improve sweetie.

So where have you gone?

Don't let a bunch of knuckleheads get you down..

Just so you know, I've enjoyed reading you.

Jennicula said...

I'm glad you've been busy. Life outside the net is a good thing.

As for the other place, it's a bit squirrley for my liking the last few days.

I could cruise the internet 24 hours a day. Fortunately, I've saved my rotting brain by holding down a job and taking care of my family. So, lunch cruising is all I manage to pull off these days.

Yes, it's the same-old same-old over there and I try to stay out of it. Still, everytime I go there somebody seems to pounce on me, so I go there less and less. Not as friendly as it used to be I guess.

I was glad to see your name pop up again.

Well, lunch is over for me. Have a good one!

Jennicula said...

I'm just popping by to say "hi" and to see how you're doing these days.

See ya. ♥
