Well I am having a SMASHING weekend. I know you're all going to be suer jealous!
I have been to the e.r. twice in 24 hours.
I've been sick since Tuesday night and off work Weds and Thurs. Woke up before 5 am on Friday and was in massive amounts of pain. No way I could go to work and by this time I was getting worried because my episodes usually go away by then.
So I got up, packed a small bag, took a shower because I didn't know when I'd get another one, and drove myself to the e.r. Yes I said I drove myself to the e.r. Mom has allready lectured me for going alone when I was dizzy and in massive pain. But I didn't want to bother anyone, especially that early in the morning, so I went by myself.
Got there about 6:40, called Grams and told her what was going on and had her call and wake up my Mom and come meet me.
Had Xrays and thankfully got some pain meds and anti nausea and was feeling better. Dr let me go around 9ish and said if it continues to see my Dr. All the tests were negative. I don't think he even spent 3 mins with us total the whole time. So I was upset.
We get home and get settled in and around 1 ish I started having pain again. So I took a pain pill and that helped some. Never got to sleep even though I was really tired.
Fast forward to 10:45 PM I had a massive headache from the Morphine and the pain was coming back in full force. So I got into bed and took another pain pill. Which essentially did NOTHING.
I laid in bed untill almost 2 am when it just became un bearable, I wasn't sure if my appendix was ruptering or what was going on. I knew something was wrong and I was scared.
So I went downstairs and woke up my poor Mom who had only gotten 2 hours of sleep at that point. She woke up Dad and we all headed out to l-town 45 mins away in a HUGE Thunderstorm.
Got to the hospital around 3am and had to wait a stinking HOUR to see the dr! totally unlike the morning previous. I was in so much pain I can't even express it. I laid there holding my stomach trying not to throw up. It hurt too bad to cry. Oh it was horrible. Mom felt so bad for her I heard her sniffling over in the corner (my eyes were closed) so that made me feel even worse!!
FINALLY the Dr came in and It was a different one a lady that actually acted like I was a person. We talked for awhile and she told me what she thinks is wrong with me, I have to see my primary dr next week. She gave me pain meds specifically for my problem and I can't even tell you what a relief it was.
She also gave me some Pheneragen which made me a tad high. I was hallucinating a tad, funny thing was I knew I was hallucininating!! The celing tiles were moving around and reminded me of a kalediscope, with colors and everything! The funniest thing was when I was laying there in my stupor seeing things, i saw these forms we use at work for CODO'ing, and I just started laughing. Who hallucinates about work stuff??! Only me!!
I did have a CAT scan, i think the only thing i haven't had this week is an ultrasound!! And the CAT scan was negative so that was good.
She gave me some pain control meds and more anti nausea stuff to help control it. I"m happy to say i have been faithfully taking them every 4 hours like she said and I haven't been in pain. THANK YOU JESUS!! Speaking of which its about time for me to take them again.
I am beyond tired, as are my parents. I was up for abou 27 hours untill we finally got home this morning and went to bed.
So thats been my exciting weekend. NOT. All I can say is that I'm so greatful to have such wonderful parents and grams that care about me and take care of me and drive me to the hospital in a huge storm.
Now off to bed. Keep praying for me! I need it!!
