Happy May Day…

I remember the first day of May when my children were small.  They  would make paper cones at school and secretively bring them home.  Then they would scout the yard for violets and dandelions.  I then would be presented with a lovely May Day bouquet from them.

I think you all may have gotten the wrong impression from my time spent in the hospital on Monday.  I was taken immediately to a bed where I had an EKG which was fine.  My doctor had insisted that I go to the emergency room because she thought my pain might be heart related.  I had a CBC and meds (anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant) through an IV.  This was only a temporary fix.  I do have a prescription for muscle relaxant which I probably won’t fill.  So I am resting on my laurels right now.

“rest on one's laurels”

Fig. to stop trying because one is satisfied with one's past achievements. Despite our success, this is no time to rest on our laurels. We rested on our laurels too long. Our competitors took away a lot of our business.”

So I will…

You all have a great day.  Don’t forget to watch The Big Bang Theory on Thursday night as it is a new episode.  Bob Newhart is a guest star.

Stay safe and be happy!!

  1. Beth, Glad you are resting. I didn't know you went through all that at the hospital. But it's better to be safe. I went to the ER once with acid reflux, it was so bad ,I wasn't sure it wasn't my heart. Sometimes gall bladder problems can be the same. People need to know it's not the heart. Too many people have died blowing off some kind of pain. Please take care. xoxo,Susie

  2. Yes! I remember doing that as a child too! May Day was a fun event then. Don't think children do that anymore, though. Bummer. I'd all but forgotten about it until you mentioned it! Happy May Day!

  8. Hi Beth,

    Hope your back heals without the muscle relaxant, but might be better to get it in case.

  24. I know I've told you before I work at a hospital. This past weekend, I was inundated with fax requests from other hospitals for information on former patients...and every one of them was heart related. I just wonder if there was something in the atmosphere causing it....because in 12 years there, I have never had something like that happen all at once before.
