cold turkey has got me, on the run
Went to the ER today. I started feeling this horrible pain in my chest, where my heart is, around 8:30 am this morning while at work. I kinda dismissed it for like an hour, trying to finish the one store i was doing at the time. But it just kept feeling worse. I did finish the store, then i called Amanda and told her what was going on. Explained to her what i was feeling, she said i need to go to ER. I called the account manager in charge of the route i was working in, and told i had to go. eventually i got on the road and went to the hospital.
I was seriously concerned that i was having a heart attack. Heart disease does run in my family, just like diabetes does. I have one, havent got the other yet. Anyway, so I wasnt having a heart attack. I pulled a muscle or something along those lines. So the doctor said I have to take 2 to 3 days off work, and just relax. He prescribed a painkiller and a muscle relaxer. Said that I cant operate machinery, etc, while on muscle relaxer.
I called my boss when I got home, and let him know what was going on. HE basically said that I wont be able to go back to work till a Coca cola doctor sees me, and gives me a clean bill of health. He is hoping to get me in on Tuesday, but since this is a holiday weekend, he wasnt sure if it could happen. I am hoping so, because I cant afford to miss alot of work. Cant afford to take the days off I am now having to take off. But, there's nothing I can really do about it. I was supposed to work Dominos tonight too, but I called out there.
So basically i have 2 and a half more days off, after having been off on Thursday and Friday. The previous two days being scheduled days off, and now the sick days.
Well, I will be well rested when/if I go back to work on Tuesday.
