Last night, around 10:30pm, I had an acute sudden onset of pain in my upper abdomen. It would not stop. So Doug suggested we go to the hospital.
I was very reluctant to go to the emergency room. I knew we'd be there for so many hours. I thought for sure, this is nothing and this too shall pass. But my husband is a medical professional, and I listened to him. And I'm glad I did.
After a CT scan, they said I may have a bowel adhesion, or, some sort of blockage.
So what you're saying is that if it is not adhesion, I'm full of shit. Alright.
I had a surgical consult, I was admitted at 4:30am.
I was in some of the worst pain in my life. Everyone was super sweet, except one nurse who kept saying "you're going to have to calm down and understand..."
Oh ma'am, no. Fuck you I'm in pain. Please go away. I do not like you.
Some Dilaudid later and things were a lot better. I relaxed.
The day consisted of an X-ray followed by "contrast" and then another X-ray 6 hours later and things worked out. I think everything is 100% better. Including the fact that I did poop my brains out for 10 minutes and all the pain went away.
So yeah? I was just full of shit?
I'm spending the night here in the hospital, not absolutely sure why but, I guess the discharge orders couldn't be set up in time for the cut off time for that to happen.
No biggie. Doug and Geoff came to visit, brought me some things, and I'll go home in the morning.
Hopefully a little lighter? lol.
Anyway. That's the update for right now. More after I get back to the house. I think our planned trip to Doug's mom is off. Probably. We'll see.
