Oxygen is Essential

About this time last night, i was working on some of the new graphics for the hoodlum blog. I felt a sharp pain in my back -- and needed to lay down. the longer i layed there, less less it seemed i could breath. i wondered if i had a collapsed lung, if i was having a heart attack. I thought I was going to die.

I go up to look in the mirror to see if i was cold and clammy. palid. As i turned from the mirror, the world in front of me faded to gray and i fell to the floor. I managed my way to my cel phone, confident i could call 911 if all esle failed. i made my way back to the sofo and put my feet in the air. i was scared and exhausted.

I must have slept for about an hour, but I awoke again with sharp pains through my back and an extraordinary tightness in my chest. i got the cold chills and a really cold sweat. It was hard for me to stay warm. So about 4AM i called Kellie (i am her gay husband) and she immediately came over and helped get me to the hospital.

I didn't know if i was having a heart attack, a back ache, had pinched a nerve -- i was really scrared. all i could do was breath and hope for the best. Kellie was a champ. she rescued me. we went to cedar sinai. the traffic on la cienega is phenomenal at that hour.

We were there. i had an iv in one harm, three doctors around me and this cute bottom boy in scrubs hand me an adavan and whisk himself away. about four hours later, i had an albuterol enhaler a few pills in case things get really bad and i've been doing nothing but sleeping. kellie stayed with me most of the day and took care of me.

think i will be okay, and thank you to those who've made inquiries. hope to be back bloggin soon.

Wow! Do they have any idea what's going on with you? Hope you're okay. And remember I'm three houses away should Kelly not answer the next time. Well, hopefully there won't be a next time. So the next time you go into labor or, um, lose something in a body cavity or something...

Ok, no more smoking on P3 with the rest of us flunkies. As a matter of fact, I've started quitting and we can quit together. No really, Matt, I do want to quit.

Hope you're feeling better. We miss you, Mateo.
