Late Night Trip to ER

Well last night we had another trip to the Emergency Room. I called my on-call doctor around 10 p.m. after having really bad leg pain all day. I wouldn't have been concerned, except for the fact that I haven't done anything in 6 weeks because of bedrest! So of course, my thoughts immediately went to blood clot...which apparently so did the on-call doctor. She said to go to the ER to rule that out. So at 11:00 p.m. we ventured to what has become my home away from home :) They took my vitals and put me in a room. Then the nurse came in to check on the fetal heartbeat --- which at first she could not find! The nurse was checking on the left side, but I knew that Alexis likes to hang out on the right side. So as soon as she went over there she was able to hear it...148 bpm! Good strong heartbeat! Then they wheeled me back to ultrasound and checked my leg for clots. I was clot free! So that was a good sign. So who really knows what the pain was from...but I felt better knowing that it wasn't a clot! So at 2:30 a.m. they discharged me and I came home and took a Tylenol and put an ice pack on my leg. This morning the pain seems to have subsided a little which is good! Never a dull moment in our life :)
