When the ball started rolling....

When I woke up dizzy and disoriented on Thursday April 8th, 2010 I never thought I would end up in the emergency room that afternoon. After all I am super mommy!! I pulled it together, pushed through the dizziness and got J ready for his rounds of therapy at the house that morning. He did surprising well. I was so pleased that driving 30 minutes to a play date seemed like a reasonable treat for the little guy. On the way home, my super mommy cape came flying off when I was over come with intense chest pains, arm heaviness and bouts of sweating. I called my doctor on my trusty bat phone and he told me to go to ER, STAT! What, seriously...but my wonderful friend police officer husband insisted that I go!

After what seemed like a gazillion tests and a chest CT with gallidium contrast, the Medical Director came in and rocked my world. The words "We have found a mass in your chest" will forever live in my personal little VCR.
