Health Update
So I'm going to explain whats going on in my life here - Don't really want to go into it on facebook...
About 7 weeks ago I started feeling really crummy. Every morning, without fail, I would wake up nauseous and all around icky feeling and by about mid-morning it would start to fade, lunch would bring it back, but by dinner I'd generally feel good enough to eat something. (And no, not pregnant... That was one of the first things that I was tested for and its come back negative multiple times.) I have been going to my doctor throughout all this and she's had me try stuff for stomach acid, stuff for a bacterial infection, etc. None of it has worked so far.
Monday I woke up with excruciating pain in my abdomen (this is the first time pain has been involved) and blood when I used the restroom so I had Danny take me to the ER. About 5 hours, a CT scan, crazy amounts of blood work and a good hit of morphine later, I was sent home with a "We don't know whats wrong, here a prescription for some pain pills and go see your regular doctor within 2 days for a follow up." So yesterday it was BACK to Dr. Allmon, and she has decided I should go on medical leave from work (her idea, not mine) while we try and figure out whats wrong. I go tomorrow to an imaging center in Memphis for them to do some kind of scan of my gall bladder and next week I go to a GI specialist.
A lot of friends/family say that my symptoms sound like a friend/relative who had gall bladder issues, so I'm hopeful that is what its is, and while it would require having my gall bladder removed, at least then they'd know what was wrong and could in fact do something to make me start feeling better.
I just wanted to update the folks who read this about whats going on in my life right now. So I'm home bound for a while till they figure it all out.
