Friday morning. St. John's ER. Diagnioses- Bladder infection. Was given a shot of morphine and the pain was gone. (I had been in pain for 3 hours, constantly, prior to the shotworking.)
Monday night/Tuesday morning. CMH ER. Diagnioses- gallstones. Was told I was given a shot of demerol. Was only in pain for about 2 hours this time. I had seen my PCP earlier that day and she was going to send me to have an ultrasound to check my gallbladder. The ER did it that night for me. Sent me home with Lortab.
Wednesday night/Thursday morning. CMH ER. Diagnioses- I'm fucked. Did a CT scan of my abdomen and found no stones. A HIDA (I'm clueless) scan is ordered but no idea when it will be performed. I was given Demerol via IV. It hit me hard and fast. It scared me how quickly it worked. I had taken one Lortab prior to going to the hospital. I got sick 10-15 minutes after taking it. The pain came on so quick. I was in pain for god only knows how long because it took them forever to come in and see me.
Today the surgeon's office that Dr. Hogan had set me up with (since I saw her Wednesday morning) called with an appointment on the 8th. She said they'd determine if the HIDA scan is necessary and will get it scheduled if it is.
So that's where I'm at. I still don't know exactly what the fuck is wrong with me because every time I go to the damn hospital I get a different fucking answer. I'll be honest- if my gallbladder doesn't need to come out then I'd really prefer not to have surgery. The ER doc had been thinking that I'd be admitted and have the surgery tomorrow morning (er.. this morning) so I guess I'm happy that this isn't the case. But come on now...
In non me news... Alannah had her first round of shots yesterday. She handled them very well. She slept a lot more during the day afterward but I expected that. She cried only for a minute and was consoled by Momma cuddles. She's up to 10bs 5 oz. That's right only about 2 more lbs until she's doubled her birthweight. :)
And now my problem is deciding whether I should go see Joe this weekend like I had planned or if we should stay home. I REALLLLLLLLLLLYYY want to see Joe. I think if I pay more attention to what I eat then I *should* be fine but so far its been kinda random. Sometimes greasy food bothers me and other times it doesn't. Bah. What should I do?
