DAMN it!
So for since October I've been having these really bad pains in my stomach, started on the left side and traveled to the right and has been constant on the right, escalating to a 4 or 5 on a sclae of 1-10 at least once a day. Sometimes worse.
Like this Saturday.
I woke up Saturday at 4:45 and proceeded to ... throw up. Between 4:45 and 8:00 I threw up 6 times. I couldn't even keep water down and as a result got dehydrated. The pain in my side was SO bad that I cried. I finally said "Fuck it, I'm going to the ER".
So I went. I've already had a CT scan and knew it wasn't appendicitis or my kidneys. I had bloodwork so I knew it wasn't anything like a virus or whatnot. They did an ultrasound at the ER and it wasn't my gall bladder. So what are they telling me? Ulcers.
That's IT? THAT'S causing THIS MUCH PAIN?
Well, I'm on ulcer stuff and going to the gastro soon to be sure.
But why the LJ post? Well, because I was supposed to go on a field trip Sunday to see a little play in New York called "My Name Is Rachel Corrie." It's not a big show, just a little thing about Iraq and whatnot, and my honors 150 class went. No charge. Oh, and I find out today that they got to meet the director.
Still, important why?
The director was ALAN RICKMAN.
Let me say that again....ALAN FUCKING RICKMAN.
(::Insert Sarah with dropped jaw::)
Trust me Sarah, I'm not even as obsessed with him as you are and I'm STILL SOOOOOOO fucking pissed!!!!!!!
Fucking stomach....
