tough day :/

Today was definitely a tough day. It wasn't all bad, but there were some very tough parts. I got to see my friend Cynthia today on her lunch, which was fun since I haven't seen her in a couple weeks, and I used to see her every day at work. But even before I left to go meet up with her, I was already dealing with this back/chest pain thing that happens to me every once in awhile. The longest the pain has ever last is probably about 3 hours. Not today. Today it last more like 7 hours. Debilitating, makes you nauseous, makes you light headed, dizzy and gives you a headache type of pain, where you can't take a deep breath type of pain. In between all of this pain, my Gram got sick and kept throwing up. My poor mother was stuck with the two of us. She was dealing with her mom throwing up, and cleaning up after her, and having to worry about me. My pain got to the point where we almost went to the hospital. I would have earlier if I had health insurance, but I don't. The fact that we almost went anyways says a lot. The pain has been narrowed down to 3 main causes-either gallstones, or something close to either angina or a heart attack, or severe Gastroesophageal reflux disease. None of which are simple things to take care of,, on top of the Lap-BAnd issues. Needless to say, today was a tiring day.
