I'm okay, I'm akay, I'm a "K?"

just a quick update--went to the er tonight because i nearly passed out at dinner and was having pain under my ribs on my left side (and in my shoulder every time i inhaled)...long story short, they pronounced me with pleurisy (inflamation of the lung lining...) and sent me home. not real clear why i almost blacked out, but all my lab tests were normal, as was my ekg and x-ray. i did have a doozie of a migraine last night and all day today, which finally let up right before all this began tonight. a little frustrating to hear the doc's diagnosis and wonder if that was really it...i just want to feel normal!!!!! my spleen was enlarged when they did my ultrasound of my gall-bladder (they scan your whole abdomen) so tonight i was worried that perhaps something wasn't right with my spleen--but the folks at the er said everything was fine there, so who knows...the pain was right where my spleen is, but then that's also where my lungs are too. i do believe at this point that it's just cheaper for me to go to medical school than to continue on the path i've been on...going to call the mental health counselor this week...cheers
