I've been having these chest pains for a while now but really didn't give it much thought since I have really bad asthma and it's been so hot and humid here. I wake up every day feeling like an elephant is sitting on my chest and I hack up what is similar to a hair ball almost daily. Lovely - NOT! Anyway, when I was diagnosed with the Carcinoid Syndrome, I was also told I had a heart murmur. And just a month or so before that I had been diagnosed with a Hypertrophic Left Ventricle. Well, yesterday the heaviness would not go away and I was having chest pains on top of that all afternoon. I HATE going to the hospital but Mike insisted on taking me to the ER, where they decided to admit me for observation overnight. Now I'm sure if you've ever been in the hospital you know you get no rest at all. I was so glad when they didn't find anything and that it is just "another symptom" of the Carcinoid Syndrome and that they let me go home super early this morning, as long as I agreed to bed rest. (like I can do much else).
I know - I still need to add the rest of the Facebook posts but it will probably be later in the week. I'm super tired and now even more behind on my Dollhouse World schedule.
So that's the short update for today.
Remember - If You Don't Suspect, You Can't Detect It!
