Cassie's Hospital Trip
Hey y'all! It's Cassie here!
First of all- no cell service in the hospital, in case you were wondering.... My mom and I keep going all lion king on our phones searching for bars and such.
For those of you just jumping in on the story, last night I began to have chest pains and they came back this morning. I was having trouble with breathing and I just couldn't get a full breath in. My mom thought that it might just be the Arizona air so we decided to go ahead and play and everything. After playing a great game, I started wheezing and took a puff of inhaler and played the second. My mom decided to take me to the trainers who asked a lot of questions, then I was taken downstairs to the doctors, who asked a lot of the same questions. They recommended that we call the paramedics and have them take me in saying that they didn't think anything serious was going on but that they just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem with my heart or a blood lot in my lung. So the firefighters came, very nice, asked the same questions, and there was a lot of them as before. They decided I wasn't high enough risk to transport me in a ambulance but that I definitely needed to go to the ER, so we rented a taxi and we are now currently at St. Joseph's hospital, Arizona.
Anyways, I was able together right in, they took an EKG so I had a bunch of stickers and cords attached to me. Don't worry, my mom took pictures, so you will see those as soon as we get back I'm sure. Then they gave me respiratory treatments and they had me breath in "medical air". Original name right? So that seemed to help a little but I still continue to have some problems breathing and chest pains. Then about an hour later they gave me a chest x-ray so we are awaiting the results from that. So yup! We are currently watching a Mexican soap opera- it's pretty intense because the brunette is in love with a guy but he is betrothed to another woman... I think. It's kind of hard to follow. I don't understand a word... So that might be the problem. I'm hoping to be cleared to play tomorrow and that the X-rays come back clear! I hear the girls won the first game so I am cheering them on here in the hospital!
Yay! The doctor just came in, everything is clear, they think it might just be an asthma thing so they are giving me an inhaler and medicine! So that is my hospital story, we are verifying that I am clear to play tomorrow, but I think I should be.
So that's the story!
Bye!
