My night in the ER last Friday/Saturday morning...
UGH...so Friday night I had bunko (pictures below). My neck had been hurting all day, but it was manageable, until I got home to go to bed. I couldn't lay down. About 2 am I was in tears. It felt like I had a charlie horse in my neck. The most pain I have ever felt so Rodney got the girls out of bed and took me up to the ER. OMG..they said the wait was going to be at least 2 hours so Rodney took the girls back home to bed and I continued to wait. I got back to the ER at 4am, didn't see a Dr. until 5 am and didn't get any pain medicine until 6 am. What a nightmare. Rodney and the girls came back and got me at 6:30. The whole time I couldn't even lay on the hospital bed because I couldn't let my head tip at all. Not to mention I was on a bed in the hall the whole time since there were no other empty beds. They determined that I was having a mussel spasm in my neck and it would just have to go away with rest. They game me an anti-inflammatory shot in my rear and some pain meds. I was sent home with a prescription for more pain meds and a mussel relaxer. Today it still hurts on one side, but as of Monday it was already getting better. I can't wait for the pain to be completely gone.
