Rushed to St. Mary's because of a migraine headache

Thursday 4/12/12

I began my Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m. by eating toasted muffins for breakfast. Little did I know this day was not going to go as well as I hoped it to. Once I had brushed my teeth, I then began to do my weight exercises. At 7:00 I then began to do my stretching. I then began to get ready for my day ahead. Once I was ready I then cleaned my bathroom, gathered my things and went by door to wait for my ride. United Wheel chair arrived at 9:30. I soon arrived at WestSide for my 11:00 a.m. P.T. appointment with Dan. After taking my blood pressure Dan had me walking on the tredmill. My first trial I walked 5:22, burning 22.0 calories thus walking 0.207 nu==miles. My second timed trial I walked for 3:24 minutes, .22 miles, 15 calories. My third timed trial I walked 7:13, .40 miles, .29 calories. During my fourth timed trial I walked 5:00, .30 miles, 21 calories. I then went on the New Step. while working out on the new step I had a migraine headache on the right side of my head. The nurse at WestSide Sally immediatly came to the gym. They then had me sitting down while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Given my past history no one was taking a chance. Once the ambulance arrived I was then taken to St. Mary's hospital to the emergency room. Upon my arrivel I was first given an M.R.I. I was then taken to a room to start pumping medication into my system to help ease the head paine. I was then given a prescription to help with the pain that I still have. At 3:00 United Wheel Chair took me home. I arrived home at 5:30. Once I had taken my shower and had eaten a bowl of soup along with a cup of tea, I then went to bed at 7:00.
