Proof Monday's Suck Donkey Balls

Ok so as if Mondays don't normally suck on their own, mine had to give me a little extra suckage.

I logged off at my usual time to grab some supper, shower all that good stuff. I have had a house guest for a little over a week now, one of my brothers, so I am still getting use to having someone else here. Well I had developed a headache yesterday morning...which isn't anything abnormal because I am prone to a headache at least every other day. Well for some reason this headache just nagged and nagged....didnt develop into a full blown migraine but yet was annoying enough to make it worse than a headache. Well I started to make supper for my brother when he noticed I was a little dizzy and holding onto the counter and stuff. He asked me if I was ok and I told him I was, that I just had a headache. So he watched me for about 10 mins more and then made me sit down. We took my blood pressure (I have a heart condition so everyone in my family has a blood pressure cuff) and it was way low 83/71.

He called my dad and soon the whole family was in a frenzy and showing up one by one at my door. THEY agreed I should go to the ER and get it checked out since I was having more and more of these as of late. I protested due to the fact that I was going to go in there with a headache and come out with H1N1 from all the REAL sick ppl that were going to be coughing on me while I wait 3 hours to get in. Soon I was on the floor in my bathroom hugging my toilet so I didnt protest much after that..I just wanted the pain to go away. So my Dad drove me to the hospital....signed in...and then 5 mins later I was called in. They did the normal triage overview for my symptoms and stuff and she asked if I wanted 3 650mg Advil..um HELL YES PLEASE...and they were nice and turned the lights down and stuff for me since I was walking around with my eyes almost closed. So I was sent back to the waiting area with all the disease infested coughers for what I thought would be the usual 3 hour minimum wait...but about 10 mins later I was called in and man did all the heads snap in my direction as if they were secretly saying "WTF?? I have been here forever bitch" I didnt complain. So when I finally saw the doctor he checked me over he said "Congrats you aren't faking, you really are having a migraine" Well no shit. Thanks for that. He proceeded to tell me that there were many coming in complaining of headaches and such just to get some pain meds. Ok that makes sense. So he gave me prescription of meds I SHOULD be taking in addition to the shots I give myself if the pain gets too much and that he was going to have the nurse give me a hypo (a large fucking needle that leaves a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in your hip) with gravol and some pain medication. Dad drove me hope and helped me to my bed since I was so drugged up I could barely walk. Ended up sleeping from about 8:30pm until 7:30 this morning.

So yay for free health care and only taking an hour in the ER as opposed to 3 or 4. Today I feel like I am in a cloud but painfree except for the giant bruise and pain in my hip. My bro is going to get my prescription filled and hopefully today will not have more suckage than yesterday.
