A day in the ER

Yep that's where I spent half of my day... in the emergency room. At 4am I was woke up with a sharp pain right above my ribs, it was a stabbing pain, shooting through my back, up my shoulders and down my arms. I almost went then but it dulled and I was able to get back to sleep. I woke up at 6am, went to work until 9am and then drove myself to the ER. The pain wasn't as bad but it was still there. 6 viles of blood, a urine sample, an IV, 3 medicines and lots of waiting I was sent on my way home. Possible that I had gallstones and also acid reflux. I was told to see my gastro again and start on an anti- acid. $100 for that... boo!

I came home after all that and slept because the pain medicine they gave me made me so tired. I went to my grandmother's for dinner, tried to eat a little and then came home. I got through my 3rd day of Jillian's 30 day and am proud that I stuck with it even after the day I had. I didn't get comfort food, I did wallow in my crappy day, I just went on with it... MAJOR progress for me! And on another good note I'm still SODA FREE!!

My picture for today is the view I had at the ER for 3 hours, not the most exciting picture but I worked with what I had today!
