A Double Scary Day....

So today started out pretty normal, I woke up, had my usual bout of morning sickness and general yuckyness, got Ben some breaky (a chocolate chip eggo waffle and a glass of milk) and sat down to let the nausea pass. After a short time, I started to notice a pain in my left side, very low, that went through to my lower back. Over about an hour, the pain got considerably worse...at times bringing tears to my eyes. I decided that since I have no doctor yet, that I should make my way down to the Emergency room.

So I woke up hubby who was napping on the coach, told him to watch Ben as I was going to go get checked out, and headed out the door. I was almost at the hospital when I hit a ginormous pothole! BANG!!!! It felt like the bottom of my car was about to come through the top!

I make it down to the intersection, and my steering wheel was pulling hard to the right. The light turned green and I tried to go straight...that's when I knew it, I blew a tire. I went through the intersection, pulled into someones driveway and said a bunch of not so nice words to myslef...this was not what I needed.

Thankfully, I was right across from Family Tire, and walked over, tears welling up in my eyes, not showered, no make up on....Imagine how I felt. Anyway, a very nice man saw me and rushed to my rescue. He went over and checked out my tire. Confirmed that it was a gonner, and said they could put my dummy tire on for me.

I thanked him and walked the rest of the way to the Hospital...He had offered a drive, but I really needed the fresh air. So I make my way to emerg only to find that they had completely changed the admittance process since my last visit, and we pretty much had to go through an obstical course to get checked out.

Sit in the Blue Chair to see the Triage Nurse, then go to admin and get registered, then sit in an Orange Chair and wait to hear your name....after about 45 min in the waiting room, I heard my name.

So now I'm in emerg, waiting to see a doctor, and I notice a girl I went to Highschool is the RN on duty...kinda releived but not so hyped to show my female parts to a girl that would recognize me in the grocery store...

They ordered an ultra sound, swabs and an exam, and concluded that the baby is just fine, has a heart beat of 186bpm, and I got to see my little tadpole... (at 8.5 weeks, that's what they look like) After a total of 4 hours in Emerg, I got to go pick up my car.

They had put the dummy tire on for me, and I went in to pay for the service when I realized that I had left my debit card sitting home on the shelf! OH what a day. I scrounged around my pockets and wallet and found $15.00 the bill was $17. 50. They smiled and said that they would make it work and left me on my way...

Then I got to come home and tell hubby the news! The Baby Is Fine, we need to buy new tires...
So now I'm adding New Tires to my wishlist...anyone know any great deals on 185/55/15 's in Canada? If so, let me know.
