This is what prompted the ER visit

Saturday night I started to feel a pain in my neck on the right side, the pain radiated up behind my ear, giving me a healthy headache.  It also radiated down into my shoulder and down my right arm.  I chalked it up to aches and pains.  I'd just had treatment the day before, it's not unusual to feel funky for a couple days.

Mat!  Watching the World Series while we wait.

When I was still feeling it throb last night, and I was SO anxious about sleeping because I had been up almost all night Saturday/Sunday morning, NOT sleeping, we decided it was better to go to the ER to have them make sure it wasn't a blood clot or something else dreadful.  They did blood work, chest x-rays, etc.  They ER doctors and nurses were kind and understanding and patient with my concerns.  I absolutely did the right thing by coming in.

It turns out it's just a muscle/skeletal something and no big deal.  I knew that if we didn't get it checked out, my anxiety and worry would send me over the top.  We got back home at 3 am, and poor Mat had to get up and go to work this morning.  I asked him if he couldn't just take today off.  He needs down time as much as I do!  But he said there was too much to do.  Contract time is 7 am, but luckily his prep period is 1st period both days, so if he comes in a little later, it's not a crisis.  He's told his principal and all the teachers in his department about all of this too, so they're willing to help if needed.

I'm grateful for all your calls, texts, concern and love!  I'm sorry I'm slow giving the update today.  I didn't get out of bed until 11:30.  At noon, my friend, Bonnie, came to do an aroma touch massage.  I'm just in the process now of catching everyone up!
