Not feeling so hot!

I thank God that I am up and about after my battle with God knows what on Tuesday. I woke up Tuesday morning with a sharp pain in my chest, not able to get out of bed. I search for my phone and called everyone but no one picked up, it was like 3am so I guess they were sleeping. I laid still and yelled for Omolayo but she was fast asleep. I considered calling an ambulance but I was naked and I couldn’t get up, plus who would let them in? I decided I would wait till Omolayo got up. She finally heard my screams and came running to my room asking what was wrong. I instructed her to take a shower and get dressed and she did so quickly. We laid in bed together till I was able to get up at about 7am. My pain had subsided so I dressed and took Omolayo to school. I checked myself into the ER and after hours of being poked and prodded I was told they could not find anything. The doctor told me that my symptoms however are consistent with a disease called Lupus. I probably should have been afraid but I wasn’t, I felt a calm though, I have been having this pain for over a year now and finally they can put a name to it. He went on to say I needed to be diagnosed but it couldn’t be don in the ER. I spent the rest of the day in bed till later when Dare, Remi, and Denrele came by, they stayed the night. I kept Remi up till 3:30am lamenting not about my health but about my broken heart. She started to offer me advise but I really didn’t want any, I just wanted someone to listen to how hurt I am. Remi vowed never to spend the night at my crib again because she wasn’t a fan of my vigils, plus she enjoys a two-way conversation better. I finally let her sleep. In the morning we were both tired as hell! Remi offered to drop Omolayo off at school and Denrele and I left home together. It is so nice to have people worry about you and have friends surround you when you are most in need.
