ER in ER! (Emma Ruth in Emergency Room!)

Saturday, August 23, 11:55pm.

First time in a long time that I've been brought to the emergency room. And the funny thing is, my entire family (arriving at different times) was there in the emergency room (we are five in the family, papa has his own car, my bro has his own car, and mama brought my car!)! I am not used to it because it was usually I would bring a family member to the hospital.

I could bear the pain at first but I was afraid that something was really wrong with my heart, so I went to the hospital when I was in tears because of the pain. My blood pressure was fine (110 over 70), my ECG was fine (although my heart was beating a bit slow daw), I have no diabetes and I have low (bad) cholesterol (based on the blood work up I had a month ago). They gave me medication through an IV (ouch!) so I would feel the immediate effects of relief. After 3 hours, I still felt the pain, but not as much as before. I didn't want to be confined because I had classes last Sunday.

When I was there, I sure was in high spirits, even receiving calls, first from Richard Poon and then Mina, even laughing at myself for being in this kind of condition. Richard even joked that I should admit that "pag ibig 'yan kaya sumasakit ang puso mo" (his words, not mine). Yesterday, he texted me this, "Whatever it is, I believe sickness is a reminder from God for us to adjust to have better health.:) So, happy adjusting :)". Ayan, pinangaralan na ako ni RP. (",)

Until now, my heart still hurts, maybe after taking the meds everything will be fine. If I will still feel this way tomorrow, maybe I will go to the hospital and have myself admitted. hay naku! Friends, pray for me that this is not something bad... (",) Thanks friends!!
