Looks like I'm taking a weeks holidays this week, not by choice and I wont enjoy them :( I was so looking forward to taking a week off this summer and going to camp but now thats not going to happen.
Monday I stayed home with a migraine, I was fine by 2pm. Then after dinner I was making rice crispy squares and I doubled over in pain. I knew right away what it was, Ive had a bowel obstruction in the past and had over half my intestines out. It stems from having endometriosis, I would explain it all but it would take me too long and I'm lazy :) Anyhow I still get the odd blockage because as the doctors tell me I will never be 100% and will always have problems. Of course I know the drill, I know that if it doesn't get better the doctors will be shoving tubes up my nose and into my stomach to drain it and send me for scopes and all kinds of stuff that I hate. And then another surgery if it doesn't clear out, then I get to wear a colostomy bag for the rest of my life. Anyhow I pretended for a while that I was fine then Rob caught me crying. I did convince him to wait but by 2 AM we were at the ER. I spent the night there, gravol and Demerol shots and a few tests done. They gave me more gravol and Demerol and sent me home at 7AM. I have to take the rest of the week off and rest. Ive been sleeping on and off all day, I'm tired but also those drugs just did me in. This just sucks but most of all I'm terrified. I don't want another surgery and to be honest Ive had those damn tubes and scopes done dozens of times since I was 15 years old and I hate them. Thats the main reason why I hold off going to the hospital for so long even though I know its stupid because I could end up with a ruptured bowel and dying. So thats it, the short version. Oh and to add to it all I get to go to the dentist today. Can this week get any better???
