My trip to the ER

So yesterday we went to Davids 2nd cousins house for a little christmas get together. I felt fine when we went and when we were there. I had a bowl of this wild rice soup (which I had 2 bowls before and felt fine) but this bowl I started to get a major stomache. We ended up leaving just because it was time to go. We had to go to Walmart to get some last minute things before Mexico, and it just got worse and worse, and I started to get a headache.

When we got home I put on my PJs and laid on the couch, My head was pounding, and I thought I was going to throw up. At first I was thinking I was just getting a flu bug. But my head started to hurt more and more and it ended up getting to be a bad migraine, I couldnt look into lights, nothing.

Mostly I am good if I take one migraine med and go to sleep. Well I tried and my head was stilll pounding and I couldnt fall a sleep. So I came back down stairs about 1 hour after I took my first med and I decided to take another (which I normally never do) well i took that med and I sat in pain waiting for it to kick in and it never did. I ended up calling my mom to see what I should do, She is a pro at these bad migraines. She told me to ice my head for 20 minutes and if it doesnt get better head to the ER.

So I iced my head for 20 minutes and my head was STILL pounding, so David loaded me up around 10 and we were off to the ER. The lights outside were SOO bad (and it was DARK out!!) but I put a cloth over my eyes and then I used my black glove to cover my eyes and it was just getting comfy. We arrived at the ER and of course it was SOOOOO bright it there I thought i was going to die.

The triage (sp?) nurse brought me back into her little room and took my blood pressure it was 145/102, my pulse was 102 and my temp was 99.9!! HOLY crap all of those were WAY high for me. She agreed with me that I am in pain and I might still be getting the flu bug.

We waited in the waiting room for oh probably 15 minutes. Not to bad, the nurse took me back, made David stay in the waiting room. And the nurse turns on the bright lights and started to ask me questions the triage nurse already did. Oh well. She took my BP again it was 135/90, still high but a little better. She left, and was nice enough to turn the lights off for me. So I sat there with my head down for probably 30 minutes before they let David back in the room.

After David came back we waited probably another 30 minutes before the DR came back. So when he did show up, he came in was was like "so you get these kind of headaches huh?" I was like"yup" He proceeded to say he was going to give me a shot of a pain med and then send me home and walked out of the room. So that was probably a $700 bill. He came back and asked if there was any way I could be pregnant. I told him no, and he looked at me like are you sure?? I am like no there is no way I could be pregnant, trust me. He was just an idot, This made David and I both laugh, hell, David could have told me that I need some pain meds. The Dr said a nurse would be right in.

So about 30 minutes later a the Dr came back and ask me if a nurse has seen me yet, nope she sure hasnt. So he said he would go get one. 15 minutes later a nurse finally came in and gave me some meds for my nausea and then was getting the needle ready to give me a shot. He told me it hurt less if we gave me the shot in the bum. So David walked out of the room (pussy) and the nurse had to turn the light on and he proceeded to give me the shot in the butt, and WOW did it sting!! oucha! The nurse told me to sit it out for 15 minutes to see if it would get better. I was smart enough to ask if I could lay down!

So I laid there for 15 miunutes, feeling better. The lights didnt hurt my eyes and the sound wasnt so bad, but my head still hurt only on the right side. A different dr came in and asked me how I was doing I told him that It still hurt on the right side. He suggested that we send me home with some narcotics, PERFECT!! :) So he asked me if I ever had them before I replied yes and that I would rather not have vicodin, since it made me sick when I had my wisdom teeth out. He looks at me and he is like "really? vicodin made you sick?" duh dumb ass I am not making this up. So I told him that i was on percocet and I never got sick. He just looked at my dumbfounded. HELLO, I know what I am talking about! Vicodin has NSAIDS in it, which makes the COXI flare up which in results in a sore stomach, possible throwing up. Percocet has acetaminophen in it and it doesnt cause stomach upset. Again this dr was an idot also!

But he ended up sending me home with some genertic for percocet, and told me to take one if I cant fall a sleep. But I got home just fine around 2am and I was able to fall a sleep, and I actually slept really good. I am now awake for the morning and I feel pretty good. I am just really tierd. I think it is from maybe the migraine and the meds from last night.

We got LIGHTS!!!

We went to Walmart today to snatch up the after xmas deals. We were hindered a little this morning cause it sleeted last night so we were worried the roads were going to be bad. We finally got out of the house around 11am, and let me tell you the stores were NUTS!!! But we snatched up white icicle xmas lights for the tent for like $3.00 each! They were orginally $6.00 but they were 50% off! We had to get 22 boxes to have enough to go around the whole tent. People looked at us so wierd when they saw all of the lights. I am excited to get this "check" done with since I have to start over with the groomsmen's outfits!! @@ (still makes me mad!)



Picture is from google, cause my dumb camera wont work. I take like 2 pictures and it drains my battery.

Oh and PS only 6 days til Mexico, can you tell I am excited?? :)

Groomsmen's Outfits are here!!

and they suck! I opened the box of pants, and they were navy.. @@ so I double checked to make sure that I ordered it right, on the reciept they sent to my email it said black, so that sucks. I will be returning them and getting the right ones.

Then the shirts also came, I put them up along the black pants I bought, and the blacks dont match!! @@ Goll darnit, so i will be returning them also! I thought I had such a huge check done.. I guess not!

I also got the ties we ordered, the 3 more pink ones and a white one. They are good. I just need to put the white tie that David is going to be wearing up against my dress to make sure they are close enough!



OHH also, 1 week from today I will be just getting in from laying on the sunny beach of Mexico!! Oh I cant wait!

Merry Christmas!!

MOB dress & Groomsmen's Outfits

Did I even spell groomsmen's right? oh well.

My mom was excited to get going on finding a dress for our wedding. So we decided to go out on Thursday, just the 2 of us. We went to David's Bridal, which I will say I have yet had good service there! @@ But my mom found a dress she really liked. This is in purple, but she will be getting it in black. Which at first I was a little leary of, but I think it is going to look great!! :)




Since we found her dress at the very first shop we went to (actually the first dress she tried on for the day) we decided we would start shopping for the groomsmen's outfits. I had all of there sizes it was just a matter of finding all of them.. We went to sears at the mall of america and I found a pair of Dockers I really liked so we headed online in the store to order them. We did great expect for 1 groomsmen his measurements are 32/36 which is impossible to find. But we did the best we could. So we got them ordered they were $29.99 each. Then we went to the tie store and we found the pink ties that match almost perfect to the girl's dresses. So we got them. They were $20.00 :) We were all tuckered out so called it a day.

The next day I headed to JCPennys and found a black shirt that matched the black, but of course they didnt have all the sizes. So I headed online and ordered some that I think will match. I am crossing my fingers they do. And they were $22.00.

So there outfits are basically in the mail, So I should be getting them soon. I am happy to get this huge project over with!!
