Attack of the Killer Gallbladder

130 am, it starts with some pain in my chest, thinking that I just freakishly pulled a muscle rolling over in bed, i got up and tried to stretch it out.... but no relief is found, in fact the opposite... the pain got incredible, almost heart-attackish, it even resulted in hyperventilating and I couldn't breathe. I woke Sandi up and had her rush me to the hospital, not being able to articulate what was going on I think she must have only thought I was dieing. The only thing I managed to tell her was to ignore the stop lights and just drive, so she went through every red light from our house to the hospital.... well, I guess I gotta come clean on that one. There is only one light between our house and the emergency room.

Turns out that when you go to the emerg room clutching your chest, they get you in right away.... After a few tests and some really great medication that not only took the pain away but transported me to a "happy" place, I was only my way home.

I got booked for an ultra sound to see if the gallbladder attack that they suspected was right, I had the ultrasound this week and am now waiting for the results
