And let me tell you, Pain is the worst possible thing to go to the ER with. Normally, I can deal with Pain, it's a constant in my life. But last night was the most excruciating pain I've ever dealt with. I was screaming and I couldn't breathe because it just hurt to breathe. It was terrible.
But I did eventually calm myself enough to talk and communicate with my parents and the doctors. The worst thing was it took three bloody tries to get an IV in, and that is not fun. I got the IV in my hand and got a dose of morphine, most of the pain subsided, and I went home at 5 am. I have prescriptions for painkillers now, and I should be fine now, but I hadn't been to the ER in years. The doctors and nurses there were very helpful and really nice, but I would rather not have to do that ever again.
Here's a picture of me on a stretcher! Fun!
