ER fun

Yesterday was not so great. I had had a headache for a couple of days and then started to get sort of tingly and numb in my fingers and toes on my right side. It was hard to lift things and it hurt if I tried to use my arm. Then when i woke up the pain and numbness got worse and my right eye was watering. The right side of my neck was really stiff also. I don't have a doctor here so I called my OB. I felt so silly calling him about a headache since that's not really his "end" of things, but I didn't know who else to call. He told me that it was probably nothing, but if I didn't have a doctor to go to I should go to the ER to make sure it wasn't something neurological or meningitis. (Thank goodness he's a nice doctor and didn't' get all annoyed with me) Dan was on duty and had to switch days with someone so he could come home. Again...I felt bad making him have to leave work and then have duty on a Friday. Luckily, I was blessed with a nice guy and he was happy to leave work to make sure that I was OK. Well, some blood work, a CT scan and 5 hours later I was diagnosed with a headache and sent home. So yeah, i felt really bad then. At least it was nothing!! It would have been much worse if it had been something terrible.
