Chapter 3: Nothing Compares, No Worries or Cares

Dr. Smith came with me and stayed with me while the doctors were running tests on me in the hospital. My mom and my stepfather came into my room about an hour later after I had been settled. They came into my room and saw a man sitting next to my bed. He introduced himself as Dr. Alex Smith, a new doctor to the New York area. My mom and stepfather talked to Alex in the hall as my doctor, Dr. Cassidy, from the hospital came in to check everything and to adjust anything. I had to wait until my IV was finished before I could leave the hospital. Mom came in to help me with getting into my clothes. Dr. Smith came in with a wheelchair while my step-father, Jack went to get the car. Dr. Cassidy met us at the discharge station of the hospital and he spoke to me and my mom for a minute or two, saying what I could and couldn't do. After I had signed the papers, Alex caught a cab to take him to his hotel and mom, Jack and I went to their apartment. On the way to the apartment, we stopped at drug store and mom went in to get my prescription filled. We got back to their apartment, and I went into my room to lie down. It was about three hours later when mom came in to wake me up, I woke up slowly and went to sit up when a dizzy spell hit. I lowered myself back down onto the bed and closed my eyes. My mom came back into the room and went to see if I was ok. I told her I was fine and that I would be out in a few minutes. After she left, I sat back up a bit more slowly this time, and when I was getting up, I felt like I was going to be sick. I went into my bathroom, and closed the door. I had my phone with me and put it on top of the sink. I got sick a few times, and my mom heard me. When she came into the bathroom, she saw me passed out on the floor in the middle of the bathroom. She picked up my cell phone and called for an ambulance. When she got off the phone with the ambulance, she called Dr. Cassidy. When the ambulance got to the apartment, Dr. Cassidy was already in the room with Nurse Nichol. They were taking my heart rate, breath sounds, and blood pressure. They also checked my eyes to make sure they were PERRL (Pupils are Equal, Round and Reactive to Light), they were. They took me to the hospital and ran some tests on me. I was met at the hospital by my seat mate who was working the graveyard shift at the hospital. Little did I know that he had a huge crush on me. Dr. Cassidy was right by my side when they ran tests on me. They ran I don't know how many tests, and each one came back negative for what they were trying to test it for. Finally Dr. Cassidy ran a blood test to see if I was getting migraines and that test came up positive. Positive. After the IV had finished, Dr. Cassidy took me home to be with my mom and step-dad. When I got home, I went into my bedroom and put on my pajamas, took my migraine medicine, since one was coming on right then and there. I slept throughout the night.
