Blessed

Yesterday was pretty scary for me. I'm not going to lie. I spent about 8 hours in the ER because yesterday morning, when I was waiting for a class to start, I got a bad headache (one of the worst I've ever gotten) and I lost half of my vision for about half an hour. A friend in my class told me not to go to class and so I left and went home. My vision came back, but I still had the headache all day.

I was trying to avoid going to the ER but a few people told me to go. So I went. A few of my friends stayed with me while I was in the hospital. The nurses and doctors asked me a bunch of questions and they wanted to make sure it was nothing serious like a tumor or an aneurysm. They said it sounded like that was possible so they told me I needed to get a CT scan and a spinal tap/lumbar puncture.

After waiting, everything was clear, so I was very relieved. It helped knowing that it was nothing serious. It was very scary losing some of my vision for half an hour, but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.

I kept praying and putting it in God's hands. I woke up with a very bad headache this morning and I still have it as I'm writing this post but I know it's probably from the spinal tap.

Sometimes health problems are very scary but you need to keep trusting that God has it all in His hands and that everything will be okay. I was semi-prepared if it was anything serious, but I trusted God that everything was okay.

I feel very fortunate that it was nothing serious. One of my friends who was there for me yesterday as I was waiting for the results said that it doesn't count as a hospital visit, so I'm still at over 7 months of no hospitalizations.
