It’s all fun and games until someone loses a spleen

Tonight while cooking dinner, I reached up in the cupboard to get the salt and suddenly had that pain in my side like I have been running WAY to hard. I immediately went into frantic death mode and thought about what I would do with the baby while I went to the emergency room. And then, what was jj going to do when I died. And I don’t have a will. And jeez, this really hurts.

So I called ask a nurse, she asked me all sorts of unmentionable questions that were really quite embarrassing. I love discussing every single function of my body with a complete stranger. That always brings a nice close to the evening. Anyway, we went through all the questions and by the time she was done, she informed me that there was probably nothing wrong with me, but that I had probably pulled a muscle. And the pain went away.

I guess I will live through the evening, which really is a relief. Right?

    I didn’t know there was a phone number you could call to talk to a nurse. That’s fantastic. Hope you are feeling okay.

    The Ask a nurse number is one that call pretty frequently. It is something that our insurance offers. I love it, 24 hour access to a certified nurse.
