I'm home from the hospital

Mon Nov 10, 2008, 1:43 PM
Hi folks, been away for a few days now. I had a pretty nasty asthma attack last wed night and it got so bad I had to go to the hospital.

Well we thought the attack was caused either by a combination of a severe chest cold and having asthma anyways (even if I didn't show signs of it since I was 8) or possibly a minor hole in the heart called "Patent Foramen Ovale". PFO is minor, a baby in the womb has a hole in the heart to let the mother help it breath and what not and the hole is supposed to close naturally but sometimes it doesn't and often even if it doesn't close its not a big deal.

Well after a few bonehead tries from the nurse they finally got the test for PFO done and turns out I don't have it so it looks like I just have cronic asthma. Feels nice to be out of the hospital though, now I need to have a rescue inhaler and an allergy thing but nothing major.

The hospital was actually very nice, good food, kind nurses and doctors willing to actually talk to me for more then five minutes. I got a lot of support from my online friends as well and that helped alot. Thank you everyone that wished me well!

I know I know "Get back to drawing you lazy bum!"
Oh and no its wasn't Lupus!

A hospital with GOOD FOOD !?!?!!??? Where the hell did you go? I didn't think such things existed.

Still I can identify with it feeling good to be home, I know that feeling well.

I know I was amazed too! My first dinner was steak tips on rice with green beans and a slice of cake!

I think I need to watch less House reruns...I was in the hospital referencing House episodes to the nurses. It was kinda silly

Last time I went for my usual checkup I mentioned to the nurse that needles make me feel "Oogy" Apperantly she had just watched the same episode of MASH that I had before going. During the whole checkup we talked about MASH.

I swear there was a doctor or a nurse or someone that sounded exactly like Hawk eye! I didn't see him but it was dead on voice wise
