Attention Hog

I guess I was tired of Doug getting all the medical attention around here, so I spent a couple of hours in the E.R. this morning. I woke up with bad chest pain, there was a lot of pressure right around my heart and I couldn't bend forward or cross my arms or breath in too deeply. I thought it was probably anxiety or something, but decided better safe than sorry. So, after dropping off the kids at swim lessons, Doug and I headed over to the hospital. The Dr. told me my specific symptoms indicated a muscular/skeletal problem. Perhaps I twisted into a weird position in my sleep, but he thought the cartiledge between my ribs and sternum had become aggravated or inflamed. They did an EKG and chest x-rays but said I looked super great and to take some ibuprofen. Felt like a heart attack and all I needed was ibuprofen! Doug's pretty sure I invented the problem in order to get him out of bed before noon today. I felt dumb to have gone to the E.R., but we made it home in time to get the kids and make it to Jack's tooth extraction by noon. He had a bad infection develop up and behind a tooth and it had to come out. He was super brave, but now we all are home and I think I'm going to take a nap.
