Ok, had my banana shake, then spent ALL DAY (8am till 2:30) at the Doctors office, then went on to the hospital. After MANY tests, they don't know for sure, but they think I have pleurisy (infection/fluid in lining of lungs) or periocarditis (infection/fluid in fluid around heart). Apparently this can spontaneously happen when a virus settles there. The treatment for both of these things is steriods. So...I been given a script for 40 mg. of Prednisone daily for 4 days. If it comes back after 4 days, I'll need a CT. (Fingers crossed please:)
Between the Doc's office and my drive out to the big hospital in Matthews, I stopped at cvs for a bottle of water and a jar of almonds w/ wasabi...ok, but not enough. Wanted to get in to get in and out of hospital. Did. Echocardiogram was quick and painless. Shake when I got home and big salad. Got in bed and didn't have much dinner, just steriods and water. An apple later. Was feeling MUCH better by 9pm - Thank God!
