They don't know what the heck is wrong with me
They know I'm not dying. But the doctors seem more concerned about my abdominal pain than I was initially. They've CT scanned me with a barium liquid for contrast and say my appendix is fine. Also no ruptured ovarian cysts. I still have microscopic blood in my urine. The CT scan would have showed large kidney stones but apparently it is possible that I could have a small one. I don't think I've passed it yet if so.
I don't know. I'm at home right now with strict instructions to go to the ER if the pain becomes more severe. They offered to keep me in the hospital last night for pain management, but I figure if I'm gonna be miserable I'd rather be miserable at home than in the hospital. The pain isn't unbearable most of the time just well painful. But like at a 4-5 level, not an 8-10 level. I know they said something about an ultrasound for kidney stones, and maybe they would have done that if I'd stayed. I see my doc tomorrow, today is his day off, and I really want to talk to him about it instead of the on call guy. Since they are sure I'm not going to have a ruptured appendix, it isn't worth going to the ER or dealing with the on call doc, unless the pain goes off the charts. The hospital doctor seem concerned even though he said there is no medical reason to keep me in the hospital. I don't think that they like it that they can't figure out what it is anymore than I like it.
