WHAT a day!

woke up this morning with chestpains.. that kinda went down my left arm.
this was 7.30 am
First thought was "heartattack!"
Second was "riiight, no it has to be tence muscles"

Found out hubby was about 10 mins away around 9am, and talked to him about going to ER just to make sure. We agreed to do so
And so we did

EKG showed nothing, they gave me nitro-spray under the tounge and oxygene. And decided to send me to Hudiksvall to be double-sure about it not being a heartattack.
So off I went in the ambulance. By now I started to get a tad hungry being around noon and no food yet, but I thought this would take like a few hours
Before I left they had put a needle in my hand, in case I needed injections
And I hate needles!

Well, arrived at Huddik, the personel in the ambulance had been doing EKG on me the entire way, and first thing they do in Huddik is to do yet another EKG
lets just say, any heart problems didnt stand a chance hiding!

Still nothing, but they decided to keep me in for monitoring for some hours
So, a blood test was taken.. in my other hand. The Veneflon was for injections only, not taking blood samples... *sigh*

then, like 20 mins later, the nurse came back, they needed MORE blood god damn it!
so they attacked my arm.

after yet another 20 mins, they took me from ER to surveilance, and YET another bloodsample was taken. from my poor left arm, god damn that hurt! "you'll have another one in 6 hours" they said, leaving me to chew nails for that time period.

And in the middle of all this, the chestpains came back after the Nitro.

when it was passed 6 pm, I was so nervous for the upcoming last test I started wandering around so the nurse offered me to get it over with. I Agreed, and pledged to take the other arm this time, the second needle in my first arm was pure torture for me in my anxiety.
No luck.. no blodvein would even dare come out on my right arm, so they had to pin my left one AGAIN

*SIGH*

after about an hour of waiting she came back with the result. Still normal. Now for some painkiller injection... and NO: NOT in the veneflon, it was intra musculary!!!!
:( the needle in my arm wasnt even uses!

So yet another pin in my body, but at least my arm got off the hook
about 20 mins later my pains just vanished.. such a releaf! Now I can go home!
Not yet.. I had to wait for doc's aproval.. about 30 mins later he showed up, told me all was fine (I allready knew that) and I could go home. they even payed most of the cab leaving me with about the price from Ljusdal Center and home (50 SEK)

So, finally arrived at home. Now eating a tad of bread before going to bed. Yes, they did feed me both lunch and dinner, but we're talking hospital food here, not really THAT tasty and not very tempting...


The worst part of this is: if they had given me a pink veneflon in my hand instead of a blue one, all of the blood-samples could have been taken there. leaving me with only two times needle.. NOT SIX!
Guess who's heading for bed?
