Like Grey's Anatomy but Not

I am waiting to do laundry. Before we leave for Austin- laundry must be done. So must be tons of other things like: shower, pick up prescriptions, get dog food, etc etc etc. Too much. Yet we continue to sleep and after last night I don’t blame us.

Here is the deal.

Recently I’ve had trouble swallowing and my throat has felt tight. This happened about a month ago but then it came back. Alongside the whole tight throat thing my heartbeat (to me) has felt weird off and on. So those two things together have worried me greatly- but I didn’t know what the cause could be but on Monday night during one of Greg’s shows all of a sudden my vision got blurry and my heart started racing, I don’t think anything major would’ve happened but it was big scare. We decided to stay over at my parents so I get visit my dr. in the morning and my dr. decided to check for thyroid problems and she has me hooked up to a 24 hr EKG. So on top of all of this around 5 last night I started to feel a weird pressure in my chest, like a some is applying moderate to heavy force with their hand on my chest. And I felt that way the whole night until I woke up at 3 in the morning and decided that it wasn’t a good feeling and I should probably get it all checked out. But since it’s the holidays and 3:00 am going to see my dr. in dallas wasn’t even an option. So I decided to go to the ER. Which sounds incredibly drastic and in no way do I feel that I am experiencing an honest emergency- but I wanted to at least know that I was ok because we are going out of town and all of the tests that my dr. is running on me won’t even be come back until after thanksgiving and I’ll be back at school. So while I felt like a wimp for going there I am glad I did- even if it did take about 4 hours out of our sleep (lovingly Greg went with me). ER dr did some tests and all came back normal and great and she then decided to prescribe some medicine that would help the pressure in my chest calm down- which I’m not incredibly sure if it’s working but I do feel a little better?
And now today we travel down to Austin and I suppose I am ok- I hope I am ok- I am sure I am. I just don’t know about chest pains, I know about the flu and colds- but the whole pressure in my chest and tight throat- that’s new to me. So please pray that it is nothing and everything will pass today!

Other news:
-Greg did play a show on Monday at Opening Bell coffee- he did so great. A lot of friends were playing so it was a fun show until we had to leave.
- it is cold outside. I love it.
- I love my new job also.

On to Austin!
