On the evening of 31 August 2008, Missy and I were relaxing in the bath. All of a sudden I felt a terrible stabbing pain in my left chest. It was so sore that it actually took my breath away! By 11 pm I was in a major panic because the pain would just not go away. Was this a heart attack? Coz that's where the pain was. So I got into the car and drove myself to hospital. I couldn't expect Hubby to join me coz it was so late and Missy had been sleeping for a few hours already. The staff did an ECG. they could find nothing wrong so promptly sent me home. Hmph.
The next morning the pain was still there - and still just as bad. I went to my doctor (Doctor K) and had the ECG redone. Again nothing. Then I was off to check for blood clots in my lungs. Yes... again nothing... So I was back to him for further tests. The outcome... pleurisy...
