Hello, a couple of weeks ago, i posted the tread about my husband being in an accident, and our truck getting wrecked up. Ok, so this is what has happened since then. Two days later, he rolled a 300lb rock on this foot (he works in landscaping) and had to go to the hospital. They determined it was only a bad bruise and a sprain, no breaks, which is very good, considering the line of work he's in. However, he still had to take a couple of days off work (obviously) and when we called our insurance company they only acknowledge the injury if its a break, so, no compensation. Ok, we can deal with that. Then this Tuesday, going to pick him up from work (we're borrowing my parents car, in the absence of our own, and only I'm insured on it) I started getting chest pains. My daughter having spent a good 20+ hours in the car in the last couple of weeks, because of having to drop him off at work, an hour away, and go pick him up, decided she had had enough, and screamed for about half an hour. The chest pains increased. By Tuesday night, we phoned the Telehealth service (its a telephone service in Canada with nurses to help you determine if you need immediate help, or if you can do things at home, and then go see the doctor) and she heard what was happening, and immediately called an ambulance. My mother in law came down to stay with the baby, and I went to the hospital, where they told me they were afraid I had a clot on my lung. They did all kinds of tests, I was shuttled between two different hospitals, and they finally told me it wasn't a blood clot, but they didn't know what it was. So Thursday morning they did a fetal stress test, everything was good, and they sent me home. I would say I don't know how things could get worse, but i think I'd just be jinxing myself. Ok, I'm now I'm exhausted. Thanks for listening!
