been to the hospital today

i was having some pains on the left hand side of my ribs. so took myself off to the A&E. went on the heart monitor, had loads of blood tests. chest X-rays. and luckily its not my heart. the lungs are clear.
he thinks its my osteoarthritis spreading. so keep taking the painkillers. and rest up when i can.
must admit i was really quite worried about it.

I'm glad it wasn't your heart Cathy, although that must always be a worry for you when you get pains.

Re: been to the hospital today

Good and bad news there.

At least you know what you're dealing with and don't need to worry any more.

Do the painkillers keep it in check?

Relieved the heart and lungs are OK, Cathy. Osteo is a b***h, isn't it? What do you take for yours? Hope the painkillers have helped.
