My tummy hurts.
It started last night, and for an indeterminate amount of time I thought I was going to die. D tried to convince me to go to the hospital, but I didn't want to crawl out of the fetal position long enough to get dressed, which is just as well since I obviously made it through the night. I slept quite well, actually, but the pain started again (significantly lessened, thank goodness) when I got out of bed, and has continued throughout the day.
I'm almost concerned now. It's lower abdominal pain, predominately on my right side, and it started while I was doing something indecent. It is not menstrual cramps, and is not gas. It is also not appendicitis, though for awhile while I was dying last night I suspected it might be. (I actually had appendicitis when I was 14, but it wasn't acute, and my Mother declined the option of surgery, opting instead to take me to a naturopath who doped me up with Chinese herbs, and prescribed 2 weeks of bed rest and a diet of brown rice and broccoli. Good times)
I can still function, though walking has been a little difficult. It seems that even the smallest amount of jostling sharpens the pain.
I'm sure it's really nothing, but darn it, nothing really needs to go away, I have plans for the evening that I'm not willing to cancel, and I'd like to be semi human by then.
Alright, I'm done whining now.
pain,
