A Headache and Half, but At Least I got it Done....
I've decided to dress up My Journal Entry Today with One of My Favorite Colors.... RED. One Reason is simply because I Like the Color, but the Other is as a " Symbol " if You will for the Severe Pain I've been in since I got Home from FINALLY getting Two Things done Today. It was a " Headache and a Half " - like I mentioned in the Title for this Entry, but I am VERY relieved that it's done now !I had to go have an ECG - ( OR is it EKG ? ), And XRAYS of BOTH of My KNEES done. The ECG was because My Doctor was concerned during My Last Doctor's appt. that My Heart Rate was a little Fast. I tried to reason with Her that I thought it was probably because of ALL of the STRESS I've been under lately at Home. BUT, She figured that it's got to be more than just that. I guess it doesn't hurt to check to find out for sure. But, IF She really knew ALL of the STRESS my BF has been putting Me under Lately, then I think She'd agree with Me on My Theory about My increased Heart Rate.I'm not really worried about it, because I don't have a History of Heart problems, and Noone in My Family - ( at least None that I know of ) - has any History of Heart problems.Anyways... I got an ECG done. I hope that'll be enough for Her, and She doesn't want Me to get ANY Further Tests done on My Heart. With My Bad Knees, IF I had to get UP on an Exam Table I'd have a BIG PROBLEM ! I CAN'T climb up onto an Exam Table... there'd just be NO WAY I could... not even with a step stool ! The OTHER Thing I got accomplished Today - like I mentioned - was having XRAYS of BOTH of My KNEES done ! THAT WAS A HUGE PAIN !!!!! Since it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE for Me to STAND for Very Long AT ALL..... It was VERY PAINFUL for Me to TRY to stand there in front of the XRAY machine long enough for Him to get Me in JUST THE RIGHT SPOT, and get the XRAY done. AT FIRST... I had made the BIG MISTAKE of NOT mentioning that I would HAVE TO HAVE a Chair NEARBY ME to sit on EVERY CHANCE I had, in between Him actually taking an XRAY.... SO AT FIRST He had Me STAND UP in Front of the Machine, and He took the XRAY, and said that He was going to go check on it !!!!! HE LEFT ME STILL STANDING THERE... WAITING ON HIM TO COME BACK FROM CHECKING ON THE XRAY !!!! UGH !!!! TALK ABOUT EXTREME PAIN !!! I was literally on the VERGE of SCREAMING OUT to ANYONE within EARSHOT... " SOMEONE GET ME A CHAIR NOW ! PLEASE ! BEFORE I FALL DOWN FROM THE PAIN ! PLEASE !!!! " THANK GOD that He did come back fairly soon, and He could see the PANIC in My Face, and He grabbed a Chair for Me as quick as He could. So anyways... to TRY to make a LONG STORY short.... with a LOT of compromising... a LOT of UP and DOWN.... and WITH A CHAIR... AND WITHOUT A CHAIR.... EVENTUALLY the XRAY TECH FINALLY got BOTH of My Knees done ! YAY !!!! IT was such an ORDEAL ! OMG !!!! I'M STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN FROM IT ... EVEN NOW, HOURS LATER !!! BUT... It'll DEFINITELY BE WORTH IT.... IF having the XRAYS done Today helps - LIKE I PRAY THAT IT WILL - as far as Me getting a POWER SCOOTER CHAIR that I desperately NEED !!!!! PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS... ALL... PLEASE... I REALLY NEED TO GET A POWER SCOOTER CHAIR... ASAP.... !
