So last night was kinda a fun night... I was talking to Megan around 1030, and she asked me if I would take her to the ER today because she had had blurry vision for two weeks, and about once a day her left hand and lower leg would tingle for about 20 minutes. So we said that we would go after classes today. (kinda funny planning a trip to the ER, but we did) Anyhow, about 15 minutes later, Megan called me and was like, hey... my mom wants me to go to the ER right now... so Megan, her RA, Susan, and I headed to Miami Valley Hospital... We got to the ER around 1130, and after about 10 minutes of explaining to the nurse what was wrong, we were taken into an exam room (1 of 73 exam rooms!!!) So for the next 3 hours the three of us sat in the exam room, as various doctors tried to figure out what was the cause of the symptoms. Megan also had a CT scan done during those 3 hours. It showed a small irregularity, but they weren't even sure if that was just something wrong with the CT machine. In the end, the Dr's couldn't figure out what was wrong, but they wanted her to see an eye doctors to see if there was something wrong with her eyes, and they also wanted her to have an MRI done to find out if the spot on the CT scan was anything to worry about. We finally got back to school around 3AM, and all of us were totally exhausted.
