If anyone had noticed, I've been gone since tuesday or so, and hardly attending the days before that.
That was due to me being in quite the powerfull bit of pain(the kind of aching pain that just keeps you from sitting still), you see it turns out I have an inflamed heart muscle(directly translated from swedish), it means the muscle in my heart is well inflamed or something, and there was some fluid build-up, that was causing the pains and I've been at the hospital until now and been there hooked up to those heart monitoring thingies you see in ER, and gotten loads of tests like ultra-sounds and stuff taken and probably 3-4 blood samples a day taken, my arms look like those of a heroin addict.
The actual reason for me contracting this virus or whatever it is, is that I have had a cold for about 4 weeks, then I tooks penicilin for 10 days, then, the day after, I went out and I started feeling feverish, the day after that a horrible horrible aching pain coursed through my upper chest and right arm and neck and back, it was nothing like a stinging pain you would associate with heart problems esp. since it started in the arm and went from there to the neck, anyhow I went to the hosptial, they checked very basically, they thought it was nothing because I was looking OK then, but that was because I was doped up on painkillers, next day the pains where still there, I went back to another hospital had them do x-ray and EKG and stuff, and the EKG was abnormal so I was rushed to the hospital and there I stayed until today.
Anyhow I've been getting progessively better though I am taking medicine now and I ain't allowed to do anything for 7 days, after which I can go back to work, which is thankfully not physically demanding.
Anyhow, thats all, glad to be back and to no longer have to eat hospital food.
