Again...

Hey everyone. I was planning on writing yesterday, but I felt crappy all day, so now here I am. I'm actually feeling a little bit better today, but I've had a rough go of it the last couple days. Monday night I had another panic attack. I had to put Chloe to bed a little early because I felt awful, and Pedro was at work. Thankfully she was actually really tired and went to sleep. After I got her in bed, I had to lay down myself and try to relax. I was freezing, and my throat was starting to close again, and the pain from my teeth was worse than ever. I tried to call Pedro about a million times, but he didn't answer his phone. When he finally did call me, I got upset because he hadn't answered his phone before, and he knew I was sick (he actually had good excuses, but I really wasn't feeling well, so I wasn't thinking straight). So, basically I started crying, and then I hung up. When he got home, I tried to talk to him, but I started crying again, which made my nose plug up, which made me feel like I couldn't breathe even more, and that's when the second panic attack began. And it was worse than the first one. My hands and arms went completely numb--my hands went into this weird claw position, and I couldn't even move them. And then my lips and chin started to go numb too, and I couldn't really talk....Ugh. It was horrible. Pedro's family almost took me to the hospital because it got so bad and lasted so long, but I didn't want to go SO BADLY that I was able to get myself to calm down. It took a while for the numbness (is that a word?) to go away, but eventually I started to feel okay. I also took medicine for my throat, so that helped too. Anyway....Deocles' diagnosis was either stress (from being afraid of not being able to breathe) and/or taking too much medicine at the same time. I've been taking pain killers for my mouth (wisdom teeth), antibiotics and some other medicine for my infection, a pill for the other problem I've had for a while, and...well, I think that's it, but anyway, it was a lot of medicine. So, yesterday and today Deocles took me off a couple of medications, and I haven't had another panic attack...that's good. I still don't feel completely great, but it seems like the antibiotics are working, and I've actually been able to open my mouth a little wider today and eat a little better. Anyway, I'm sure you all don't need or want to hear about all of this, but I just thought I would update. I really am okay. The last couple days have been miserable, but I think the rest of the week will be okay. I'm not sure when I'm getting my other two wisdom teeth out, but like I said last time, I might come home with a swollen face. I'm not too excited about that, but oh well. I just can't wait to get there! Wahoo!!!!! I can't believe we only have two weeks left....it's so weird! We're getting the house cleaned, and we're also doing a lot of packing. There is still a lot to do, but we'll get it all done. Can't wait to see you all!!!
