I have been on MC since yesterday. Had a scare on Wed afternoon in my office about 4.30pm when I suddenly had chest pains all the way to my abdomen and I was having difficulty breathing. Called my boss who was at the research lab and asked for permission to leave early to see my doctor. He offered to send me, but I refused. Did not wish to trouble him actually and furthermore I can get a cab easily.
My chest was hurting each time I breathe on the way to the doc in the cab. And my hands felt so warm. I was kinda freaking out already, thinking of the worst. Could not reach hubby as he was busy in school. The doctor finally got to see me, and concluded that I was having inflammation at the bone around the heart area. Thus each time I breathe, the bone constricts pressing down on my chest and causing the pain all the way to my stomach. He gave me painkillers, something for the inflammation and also sleeping tablets! He said that I need to get some sleep and rest well. Whenever I am tired, my body system just gives way and I get a lot of health problems.
So I have been happily sleeping on my comfortable bed. Feels like bliss not having to wake up early to go to work :) I could even do a bit of reading, which I sorely missed. I just am dreading to come back on Mon to see the piles of work waiting for me :(
In the meantime, I will enjoy the short holiday while it lasts :)
