No Bologna For Me

So today I was supposed to go to Bologna for the day with my graphic design class, but that did not happen. So let me back up and start my day off with last night as I usually do. Last night was rough for me because of my shoulder. I don't know what I did or didn't do to it, but I was in a lot of pain. I started to freak out because I remembered this summer having shoulder pain before I had the clots. I emailed my doctors and went to bed in a lot of pain. I had trouble finding a spot to lay that was comfortable, but found one and slept so soundly. I was exhausted. I think all the stress of being sick and that I had over Mike had caught up to me and was just exhausting me in all ways. I got up at 8:15 and was in a lot of pain. I checked my email and the doctors said I should get examined and an xray. I decided I was going to try to go on the field trip anyway, but by the time I got to the bus I was in so much pain I decided I needed to see a doctor. Dr. Kerr was not in until midday so I went home and went to sleep until noon. After I woke up my shoulder was still hurting a lot, but I was able to move it around some. Dr. Kerr said he didn't think I needed an xray since he was pushing on it pretty hard and I had no pain with that. He suggested going to the ER but said he thought it was either Crohn's joint pain or a sever stiff neck. I went home and talked to Mom about it. As we talked, the pain started to go away. She suggested I call Dr. Longo. I went to SACI and they called but he was not in. Dr. Baldini was in and said to go to the ER. Daniela and I decided I would wait until tomorrow morning when Chiara could go with me since my pain was not that bad. I took a hot shower after this and that helped with the pain a lot. I am still in some pain, but I am able to move my arm and neck and do everything with minimal pain. I think it was just a sever stiff neck, but I am still going to get tested tomorrow just because I am scared of clotting again. So for the night I am going to relax and maybe watch a movie a little later. I just ate dinner and made way too much pasta, so that will probably be my snack later as well. I am in a very good mood. I think I am starting to calm down with the stress of everything from the past week.
