I have to share this god awful but hilarious story... So embarrassing. I had some kind of crazy allergic reaction to something and broke out into hives. AWESOME! So I decided to take myself to the clinic tonight after getting home from the hospital. Jeff jokes as I walk out the door great, you have my car and your probably going to end up in the hospital with SARS or something hahaha. Yeah, real funny. So as Im driving to the clinic I realize Ive left my phone at home. I never leave without my phone. I should have turned around right then and there. I get to the clinic and she tells me allergic reaction, hives bla bla bla. I need to be put on steroids. Great! Sounds good. She says were going to give you a steroid shot to get this moving. Were going to give you a shot of Solu Medrol. Great! Sounds good. SOLU MEDROL SUCKS!!!! Initially, the shot was fine. However, I felt a painful sensation within seconds in my ankle. HUH, weird since the shot went in my hip! I tell her it hurts and it hurts in my ankle too. She says that is common. Were going to keep you here so that we can keep an eye on you to make sure that you dont have any adverse reactions to this. It is not uncommon to have adverse reactions to it. She tells me to keep stretching out my leg and hip and then she leaves. So by now Im in pretty severe pain. Im walking around this little room stretching and rubbing my hip like a mad woman. Then it hits me, Im going to pass out. So I calmly open the door and let them know and then I lay down on the bed. Vital signs, oxygen, cool rags people every where. My whole leg was numb. So I tell them to call my inlaws who live right across the street. They call my mother in laws cell, no answer (she wont answer the phone if she doesnt recognize the number). So I give them my father in laws number thinking, for sure he will answer. He always does. No answer, same reason. So I say, you can call them on the house phone and I ramble off their phone number. The next thing I hear is do you know a Brian? He says his name is Brian (my brother in law for those that dont know) not Johann (my father in law for those that dont know). I totally gave them my brother in laws phone number without even thinking about it. I couldnt remember their house number. So Brian calls Jeff, Jeff calls his mom and dad and Im sitting in a clinic with a numb THROBBING leg so embarrassed. It was quite hysterical. I know that they will NEVER let me hear the end of this one. So embarrassing! The moral of the story, dont leave home without your phone EVER!!!!! oh yeah and say NO to an injection of Solu Medrol :) I hope you all had a good chuckle at my expense lol
