Painful Day To Remember
I orginally posted this on MySpace. But considering not all of you are on MySpace, and I don't want to re-type things out, I'm simply copying and pasting the below entry...
----------------------------
So it's time to get a little more personal. I've been having some odd issues lately, and yesterday I had a very sharp pain in my right side. I mean it hurt bad! I all but cried, lol. I could hardly move, and yesterday was laundry day for me, so you can imagine how fun that was. LOL.
Well my mom (laundry day is at her house - it's our day together) of course, became very worried about me. To the point the minute my boyfriend came in later on, she immediately told on me. He got a bit upset because I didn't tell him there was any issues in the beginning. Which was dumb on my part, I guess it was one of those "I didn't want him to worry" moments. Plus I was just trying to blow them off. Well, I continued to have pains today. Not as bad as the night before, but still intense enough that I called my doctor's office. The doc that was filling in for my own that day, called me back and I explained the symptoms to him, and he said that it could be a number of things and told me that if the pain is that intense, then he suggests going to the emergancy room. So yes... I called up one of my brothers and he came and picked me up and took me to the emergancy room.
Before he got to me, I of course called up my work and talked to my manager, letting him know what basically was going on.
When arriving at the hospital, I suprisingly got right in. Went straight to registration, then straight back to a room. I made my brother come back with me to keep me company, because it's still an E.R., and it still takes hours (or what feels like it) between pokes, tests and other things they do to you at a hospital. lol. Of course he had to step out a couple times, but he still came back there with me. I kept reminding him of what an "awesome" brother he was for taking his little sister to the emergancy room when she needed to go.
Anyways, they ran some usual tests and then did a KAT Scan on the area that was hurting. Well my apendix looks good. Which is always a plus! LOL. Although the doctor did say that with that kind of a test, it would be too early to detect anything wrong with it, but I guess it did look fine. So, his "guess" is that I had passed a kidney stone. I guess my kidney looks fine, but I probably had a stone, and it passed through the previous night, since it didn't hurt as bad. He said I would be a little tender and sore for a couple of days. No one is happy that he "guessed" my diagnoses. I have to call my doctor first thing in the morning and set up an appointment, for the follow up visit. I'm supposed to in the next 1 - 2 days. *sigh*
So then after finally leaving (was there for a long while) the hosptial, I made a pit stop into my work to give a note to management, basically saying I was excused for Thursday & Friday. :) YAY!! Day off to rest and relax, and try to feel better. lol.... Anyways, I stopped and got to see two very groovy people (Hi Dave & Faith!!) who stopped in to see me, and unfortunately I couldn't work so I wasn't there. But thankfully I did think to stop in on the way home to give in my note. So I was able to get the hugs and talk to them for a few minutes.
After stopping at work I came home, informed my dad, called up my mom and informed her on the updates and what they "think" is wrong with me.
Later on my boyfriend came over to see me, and check on me. He took me out and spent some time with me.
