What a night!

I've had migraines for about 10 years now and luckily haven't had a bad one since the beginning of the year. I guess Monday night I had spoken too soon because of course I started getting one. Yesterday it was so bad that I woke me up from sleep and after I had taken all the meds I could safely take I figured I'd just go ahead and head into work since I was only working 4 hours anyways. On the way there the right side of my face, neck, and arm started getting numb and I asked Jordon to call the doctor's office to see if there was something I could take to get rid of the headache and what to do about the numbness. Needless to say, the doctor on call at the OB office called the floor and was worried since I had numbness and it had never happened before. I ended up being taken to the 4th floor, which is women's services, to the labor and delivery unit to be monitored and given IV pain meds. I have a new appreciation for my patients now because I really hate being the patient! I was so proud of Jordon because he's always saying how he can't handle hospitals, but he stayed the whole time and even slept on the little pull out couch that didn't look comfortable at all! He even got to pick at me for my many faces as the nurse tried to start an IV (18 gauge for my nursing people)into whatever little vein they could find...that was almost as worse as the headache at that point! Luckily the Demerol and Phenergan (which made me almost jump out of the bed from how bad it stung!) gave me some good rest for a few hours...I even think I drooled a little. The nurse woke me up to check on the numbness, which I still had, so she said the doctor wanted me to stay overnight to see if it went away on its own. I woke up about 4am and no numbness!! :)
I had several of my co-workers come visit me, which I thought was so sweet. And I sorry y'all had to see me so freaked out before they got me calmed down on the 4th floor and I appreciate all the thoughts and well wishes. Luckily, "Leonard" (as Jordon calls the baby), wasn't affected and all is well as far as he/she goes. Hopefully no more scares like this, but I'm really lucky have had so many great nurses and co-workers around to be there for me and do whatever they could to help. Now that I've had a trial run on labor and delivery, I don't plan on going back until November when it's time for little one to get here.
