Yesterday I didn't feel well, woke up at 2am with my tummy hurting and I couldn't get comfortable for anything. In the morning I called in to cancel todays work shift, at about 2PM Lan and I decided I need to go to the ER.
A gurney never looked so good.
I was hurting pretty bad and of course the doctors were busy with other patients. My nurse, Sophia, was awesome. She couldn't give me any meds until the doctor saw me and it seemed to take foreverrrrrr. In real life it was foreverrrrrr.
They finally gave me morphine for the pain and that helped a lot.
I was rolled on my bed to the CT Scan room, just a few turns away from the ER. They inflated the bed I was on and it pillowed me and they just shoved me onto the other bed, easy peasy.
It was sorta like this but puffier.
They put me back on the gurney and took me back to my room where I was left with Lan for who knows how long.
The doc came in to say I have 2 gall stones
Those little fuckers HURT.
There are 2 different kinds, ones made when the gall bladder isn't working properly and one made from too much cholesterol, or, at least I think thats what they say.
They did an Ultrasound and found two.
My life will change, for the better. I'll be reading labels when I shop and won't be eating all the fally foods I previously chowed down on.
Today I had tomato soup, 5 saltine crackers and gatoraid for lunch. I used lowfat milk for the soup.
