my son getting ready for his band competition. isn't he cute all dressed up.

what a whirlwind weekend! I am finding that sometimes I am having a "doh" moment. Yesterday was a friend of a friend's bridal/bachelorette party. I volunteered my Yukon so everyone could fit in the same vehicle and we had a lady, pregnant, who was going to be doing the driving. The festivities were all starting at 5. Come one o'clock I was having some chest pain but it went away so okay. Come three more chest pain. Then while dropping my daughter off at a slumber party I was doubled over with chest pain. I call my nurse (Tricia) and she says get to the hospital it's probably heartburn but you have to be safe. Okay I listen. I rarely ever get heartburn. I did when I was pregnant but aside from one other instance that's it. I've always considered myself lucky. I can eat all the acidy food I want and no problems.

So here I am in the ER. They take me back I explain the squeezing feeling I'm feeling behind my chest bone. They take me back, my blood pressure is 104/64 or something. It's lower than it was last year-thanks to the exercise. So I'm getting hooked up to an EKG, then sent down for a chest x-ray-praying the years I spent smoking is not coming back to bite me. Then sitting and sitting and sitting. At least I had my own room. The doc comes in...umm yeah you were having heartburn. Heartburn I say? We did all this and I have heartburn. So he gives me something called a GI Cocktail. It's the nastiest drink in the world..mylanta, lidocaine, and something else but man is it gross but I instantly felt better!

I call my friends..I'm coming...they are eating penis cakes, playing penis games, drinking jell-o(my favorite) and I'm in the ER with heartburn. Ah well I got there and had a blast. Didn't go to bed until 430!!! Back up at 9 to start the day. They even decked my truck out in black and pink-fun times. I will post a photo of the eight of us when I get one! I also have to add that I fit into my favorite size 8 jeans and I was told, "I can totally tell you've lost weight, you look completely different from when Shane left." Love it. Now back to Sunday chores and later a little putt-putt!
