ER visit.

I havent posted in a few days due to a night in the ER on Sunday. I had been having sharp pains in my right side starting SAT afternoon while at work, IT was hurting enough to where I was thinking about not going to Red Robin for Jake's party and having Scott do it. But I went knowing it was the right thing to do. It continued to hurt all day Sunday and I called in to work, knowing that there was no way I could go considering every step I took made it hurt. The only time it didnt hurt too bad was when I was laying still. I started reading about the pain online around 8 pm, and everything I read sounded like it was my appendix. Around 11 I put a call into my DR, and spoke to the nurse. She said to go to the ER, It was the LAST thing I Wanted to do I was really trying to wait till the AM. So I woke up scott and told him what they said, he said ok ,and rolled back over! He then wondered why I was still standing there, Did I need him to drive me he asked?? Did I NEED him to, NO, did I not want to go alone, YEAH... I told him I didnt need anything from him, and left. I Was pissed. I called Carrie on the way knowing she was still up and told her where I was going, ( I thought someone who was AWAKE should know) we laughed about what a jerk Scott was and I felt better. ok so here is the what happened in the ER:
midnight: Check in
12:05 Look for a seat by myself, ( Maegan, I looked for 'normal people' to sit near)
12:08 Got myself another seat after someone who was there for throwing up all day sat near me.
12:20 Took yet ANOTHER seat when smelly man sat near me.
12:30 Got Vitals taken
1:00 Was taken back to a room
1:10 DR came in, listened to me, pushed on my tummy, made me hurt , said he thought it was my appendix, and told me of the test he was going to order
1:30 nurse came in, started and IV took blood, gave me something for the pain in the IV and left.
2:00 Xray guy came in and took me to get a CT scan , injected some dye in my iv, ( makes ya feel like your peeing all over yourself, it was weird to say the least) . went in and out of the CT scan machine a few times, then back to my lovely room. it was 2:30 at this point.
3:30 FINALLY they came in with my results, NOTHING showed up, you read that right, NOTHING... white blood cell count was normal, nothing on the Scan. They then did a lovely pelvic exam ( wasnt prepared for that at all) and still nothing, so home I went with pills for the pain and no answers.
4:25 arrived home to Scott awake on the couch acting like he was all worried, well if you had been worried buddy you would have gone with me.

ITs now Tuesday and I still feel the same, so what the heck is the problem? I see my DR Thursday morning , so maybe she will have some answers for me?

So that was my exciting Sunday night visit to the ER.

Oh my gosh that is horrible!!! (I'll get to your lazy ass husband in a second). If you need any help give me a call. Good grief! Kelly had horrible stomach pains like that once and they never did figure out what it was. The ER doc did the same thing though...kept pushing his stomach and asking if it hurt. Um yeah buddy, we wouldn't be here if it didn't hurt!

As for your husband. %$#@! Yeah. He is lucky you still let him live in the house.

Oh, and I am glad you found some normal people to sit by at the hospital. :)

No kidding Maegan, would I have been there if it didnt hurt? no, I would have been asleep in my bed.
And ya know what, Scott doesnt think he did anything wrong, he stayed home on Monday so I could sleep, and I think he thinks that was nice of him and that he didnt do anything wrong by staying home.. huh... I think he did do something wrong, and that is what matters!
