ER visit in May6th
Sorry its takin this long to start a blog but here it is. It all started in April. I thought I was going threw a real bad sinus infection with head aches and just not feeling to well. As time went on started getting pains in the back of my head my gums started to kind of hurt which I thought great here we go again with my teeth again. Was also having blood pressure problems. So I went to see the urgent care dr cause they are the cheap for me to afford at the time. He looked at me asked some questions and said it was my teeth and to watch my blood pressure cause it was alittle high. Got my meds and a blood pressure cup and kept and eye on it. I checked it everyday and at times it was okay and others it was alittle high. Days went by and I was starting to have breathing problems just getting out of breath alittle and still not feeling to great with my sinuses. Getting close to the end of the month my breathing was getting worse but im the type I did not want to go back to see that dr I did not care for him and the er cost to much money and I could not aford something like that at this time. Still in pain with my gums, close to the end of the month I just dont feel that great and wish I could get to felling better. Also was kicked in the leg by two diffrent kids and both of the brusies just would not go away and thought it was kind of weird. Also had a sore throat and get alittle dizzy sometimes. I got a dr appointment with a free clinic at the begining of the may to see a dentist scared as can be Im a big chicken when it comes to seeing them. But it was something that needed to be done they said my teeth look okay but I needed a teeth cleaning and maybe a couple of feelins but other then that they looked okay. So they set me up that friday with a appointment. Scared silly about getting this done cause Ive heard so many storys about how it hurts and so on so forth. Still having breathing problems so bad it was hard to do my job getting kind of worried but to stubborn to got to er. I would get off work early cause I was tired and did not feel good. I would get home and feed andrew and fall asleep on the couch and dad would watch andy till he had went to bed and then wake me up to finish watching andrew and get him to bed. I got to my appointment on may 6th 2011 and I was there first person to get my teeth cleaned I was scared and they could tell. As I was getting my teeth cleaned it was hurting and the guy who was a main dr watching over the ladys cleaning my teeth said it should not hurt and told them to keep going and im laying there in pain and beging to cry they would stop let me catch my breath and begain again and it was hurting so back you could hear me in the waiting room dad said and I begain to hyperventlat ( sorry if I miss spelled that) and they had to stop half way threw the cleaning. I made it home and my mouth was horrible blood clots like crazy where in my mouth. Having real bad problems with the breathing thinking its time to go to er but not sure yet. It wasnt till I stopped by the Comunity clinic to sign up to get a dr that was based on my income. I was in the parking lot and I had to stop twice to catch my breath just to make it to the front door of the clinic. Well got that all done and dad asked me if he should take me to the er and I said no I need to go to work cause we were short handed that day and I thought I could make it till my shift was over. I made it to work my teeth were still in pain no meds to take for pain other then tylonal fun fun and start my shift at work kids were happy to see me. As time went on I was not feeling good at all I told my boss when she could I would like to get off work cause I was going to the er and you know how er vists are they can be hours and I didnt want to be there late at night. I lasted a hour at work that day I felt real bad could not make it half way across the room with out being out of breath so i went home feed andrew and we went to the er. Made it there dad parked the truck and we walked to the er door it took me three stops before I made it in the door way told them what was going on they had me seat down and it wasnt even a min. and they had me in the back took my blood pressure and what ever else she did and made a phone call fast they got me in a wheel chair and got me to a room and started the process needles after needles and heart things and ex rays and so much more. Andrew was making me nerves he wanted to be where all the action was going and was afraid he was going to bump me or get me to jump while there where taking blood so I had dad call my brother to come and get him. My brother showed up and they where outside when this dr came in to my room. He grabed the chair sat at the end of my bed said im Dr. Rosenfeld and I dont want to scare you but we need to do a bone marrow byopsy cause im 99.8% sure you have Luekemia. I just look and him and said my mama is going to want to talk to you. As he left I youtube bone marrow byopsy and begain to cry cause I watched them do it and the girl was awake the whole time and crying in pain. Was I worried I had Luekemia no still did not click in my head there was that chance I had it. I thought I had high blood pressure and I was a diabetic and needed to go on a diet. Dad came in the room saw I was crying told him what was going on and then mom called on the phone cause she was at work he tried to tell her and he handed me the phone I told her she said Ill be right there and hung up the phone. They told me I was going to be amited to the hospital the told us what was going on and why im feeling the way im feeling my red blood counts and white counts were crazy and my platles where really low which explained the brusing. And all my symptons from above where clues to luekemia and my journey begains.
