My eventful day

I got two days MC. I think it's good in a way. The only not so good thing is that my kids miss me for an hour today and half an hour tomorrow for my English classes.

And so, I woke up grouchy. Got to work and was in a frenzy after visiting my pigeon hole which saw the Fruttie Veggie Bites booklets already sorted out for every class and every teacher. So efficient and helpful are the office staff. With that, I rushed up to my table and immediately worked @ sending out an email to the school informing the teachers what to do with the booklets. Phew. Finished all that in 10 minutes and rushed to the hall for flag raising and pledge taking. While walking to the hall, I felt a sharp pain around my chest area. When I breathe in deeply, the pain travelled to the back of my body as well. It was very unusual chest pain indeed and I certainly have not experienced that before. Thinking it might be from the stress and hence the backflow of gastric juices to my heart, I ignored it and conducted my first hour of lesson. By the end of the lesson, i knew that I couldn't go on teaching anymore. It was not just heartburn. Asked for time off to see doc.

Doc asked questions, took blood pressure, temperature. Press here and there, pain a not, pain a not. The pain is inside, I told doc. She said to do an ECG but results show that heart rhythm was fine. She suggested doing a potassium test to see if the potassium level in my blood in low because it affects the heart too. And ouch. I hate the drawing of blood. Pain! Results will be out tomorrow, she said. She referred me to the Polyclinic to do an X ray to check for any chest lung problem. No problem. She said to wait and review in the next few days if the pain is still there. I feel more comfortable breathing properly now that I know it's not the heart.

My X ray showed me how I looked under my skin. I think I got sexy ribs. WAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
