quick update on me....

My mom and the kids know this but I didn't post it yet. For several months I have been having chest pain. Thought it would go away. It got to be a nuisance coming and going when it felt.....not sharp or terrible. Just a bother. So last night after work I called the consulting nurse after work and she told me to go to Harrison Silverdale...which is really close to work....kitty corner, in fact. I was there for 3 hours while they ran all sorts of tests. I didn't have a heart attack or anything so that was ruled out. They did find out I am very anemic. Go figure. So.....they wanted to send me to Harrison Bremerton by ambulance to be admitted to run more tests. I said no and came home. Went to my doctor today and she took about 8 vials of blood....checking everything blood tests could check. She said my heavy pre-menopausal periods (sorry, men) could be causing my anemia which could cause chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue. OR I could have a bleeding ulcer or something which would cause the problems too. OR it could be my heart. So I go for my echo and stress test next week as planned, up my stomach dose for GERD, and some other fun stuff. A colonoscopy could be in my future....praying it is not. Sorry this is so rushed, have to go to work!!!!
