has anybody here been to the emergency room? why did you have to go and what happened? just wondering, but here is my experience that scared the heck out of me.....
my dad was in new york on business, and my mom was having her friend and her friend's daughter from out of town stay at our house. my mom's friend's daughter is my age and her name is amy. so anyways, i went to gymnastics, and they picked me up from there and we went home. then we opened up one of the beds on the porch and we were just about to put a movie in when someone said something that was funny, and we were all laughing. then amy said i had a funny smile. i felt a little insulted cuz i hadn't really seen her before, but i laughed it off and went to tell my mom. when she saw me she gasped. i will never forget the look on her face it scared me so much!!! then my mom's friends sai, "morgan, we're going to take a little ride." i suspected it was to the emergency room when somebody started packing books in totebags like "An Activiy Book for the Waiting Room." ahem. so we got there and they took me right in. my mom, along with a lot of other people, thought i had had a stroke. so they took me in to my own little room where they did tests in my blood etc. then they discovered i had bells palsey. bells palsey is when like the muscles in one side of your face stop working. the doctor said i would probably have to stay overnight. so of course i start crying and then he's like, "well, you will have your own big room with a TV, and nintendo." i was like woah so i was kinda gettin excited, and around 11:00 my mom sent my brother, sister, amy, and amy's mom home in our car cuz we figured we would be staying at least one night. meanwhile, my dad is still in new york on business, so my mom calls him and leaves a message on his cell phone saying that i was at the hospital, we'll call ya later for more details. lol!well at 3:00 AM, the doctor said i could go home but i would need to wear an eyepatch when i slept to keep my eye closed (it wouldn't close because of the muscles), and i would have to put false tears in my eye. there was only one problem... we sent the car home. so i had to sleep in the waiting room and take a bus home in the morning... being able to only blink one eye, having only half a smile, and having slept in the waiting room of a hospital... i must have looked like a wreck!!. but later i went to the regular doctor, and they did more tests, and we dicovered i had bells paulsey from lyme disease, and lyme disease from a tick, and we were lucky to catch it cuz usually there is a bulls eye on the skin or sumthing?? i dont know but anyways i had to take this gross medicine. the pharmacist is like, "Oh, don't worry, it's not that bad! We made a nice, rasberry flavor for you." i hate rasberry. so my mom says that she can't see any signs of it anymore, but i think one side of my face always smiles before the other one...

) It was a great experience overall! The surgery was 4 hour long, and I was on a different floor than I was suppossed to be on cause there wasn't any room. So there was me, and a bunch of cute little toddlers. It was so fun! I got to watch Blue's Clues and Nickelodeon all day, and sleep! When the nurses actually let me stand up(2 days later!) I'd walk around the halls and wave to all the little kids! But my best memory was waking up at like 2 in the morning and talking with the nurses there. (there's not that many little kids here up at 2am anyway) I'm gonna be volunteering there this summer! All my sorta emergency room experiences have been good! lol! so far............
. and after they stichted me up, i couldn't eat or drink for a while cuz i couldn't move my chin. Meanwhile, my brother and sister were at my best friend's house eating dinner and playing games ::sigh:: oh well lol.
