A Visit to the Emergency Room

This morning as I was standing in the kitchen doing up the dishes I got a stabbing pain in the right lower jaw. It kind of surprised me because I do not have any cavities, that I am aware of, but a short while later, probably less than five minutes later, I got a gripping pain in my chest that radiated into my back. I went to lay down but the pain intensified and so I told Brian that I needed to go to the hospital. I was concerned that I might be having more blood clot issues/ heart attack problems . I could have easily talked myself out of going but my past experiences told me that that would be foolish and I should not ignore this. I got to the ER and they ran all kinds of tests and drew blood for examining. To make a long story short, I did not have a heart attack and there were no signs of a pulmonary embolism . The Dr. thought that perhaps I may have over exerted my muscles in my chest wall/ ribs and that they (my muscles) were not happy with me.
My blood work looked pretty normal for me right now. Low White counts, low number of Neutrophils, Low number of Lymphocytes, low Sodium, Low Anion Gap, low total protein. The only thing that was high was my glucose level. Some of the meds that I am currently taking will elevate that number. I had an A1-c completed last month and it shows my glucose levels to be okay so that reading does not really concern me at this point.
The pain has subsided and does not bother me as long as I just rest so rest I will. Tomorrow starts another round of Rituxin followed on Tuesday by my 7th round of Chemotherapy. This is getting old and I am tired of all the drama it has created in my life. I pray that round 8 will be the knock- out round and that this cancer will be in total remission.
