(no subject)
I almost went to the hospital last night because of this stupid stomach pain thing :/ It was really bad in the mid to late afternoon. By the time Bryan got home from work, though, it was easing off, and after laying down for an hour or so it was far more manageable.
Then gaming happened, and I stupidly tried to eat something. Noodles with a little tomato sauce. And the pain came back. It was so bad I was barely able to move. Bryan pressed on my back, which helps relieve a little of the pressure, but it didn't stop it. Of course, the kids were already in bed, and I can't drive. I was just going to wait until today, which is when I'm planning to call the Same Day Clinic, but them I started getting chills. That was awesome -_-
Bryan managed to arrange a ride for me with Steve, but we had to wait until around 1am, when he got off work. I got ready, was waiting..... And then if eased off. The chills stopped, the pain eased, and suddenly it no longer felt like someone was tightening a band around my midsection to the point where it hurt to breath anymore. So, we decided to wait.
This morning, I'm sore, but it feels like a residual sore. Then again, I haven't tried to eat anything yet, and I'm very wary about it. But I'm soooooo hungry!!! I strongly disliked this forced diet thing... I'm too afraid of the pain to eat much, and basically everything I eat except Greek yogurt hurts so bad it's not worth it.
Bah, I need a nap. Friggen cat woke everyone (except Bryan) up before 6am by hanging out in the hallway meowing. I tried to coax him into the room with me, but he apparently just wanted to be a jerk in the hallway. So now I'm awake, and all I want is some sleep :(
At least Ink is earning his keep as a mouser. 5 mice in 6 days, and today, the 7th day, he wandered in this morning with another one in his mouth. I shoed him into the kitchen with it so Erik wouldn't get his hands on it, so I don't know if he actually killed it or not, but hey! He's doing better than I'd expected! Already, he's on the hunt for another!
Ugh.... Anna is being difficult. Frig, I don't have the patience for this crap before the sun is up >:( I told her to go back to bed after Ink woke us up, but she's walking around upstairs (she thinks I can't hear her), and then came downstairs and made excuses for why she was down. "but I love Max and Ruby! I wanted to see them!" (It's on TV), "I tried to sleep, but the cat came upstairs again" (he hasn't been upstairs since he woke us up), "I was in bed, but I can't sleep" (she hasn't gone back to bed since the cat woke us up. I know, I've told her a few times to go back), and lastly "I just came down to check on the cat". *sigh* She knows what lies are, and she's bad at them, but even when she's caught she won't admit it. Often, she'll just switch to a new lie, like she thinks we should believe THAT one, instead.
Today is going to suck if I don't get anymore sleep. I hope I get in to the Same Day Clinic, though. They can start the process of sending me for an ultrasound to see if it's my gallbladder or not, so that when I see my family doctor on the 17th he'll already have the preliminary tests to see.
Update
The Same Day won't take me, because it's acute abdominal pain. They said to go to the hospital of it gets bad. *sigh*
So, lunch with Arlene, Bryan, and Erik, which is almost guaranteed to be followed by pain, which will send me to the hospital. I don't want to go up without being in pain, and I'm sore right now, but it's not enough for me to justify going anywhere for it. It's hard enough to convince me to go to the hospital as it is, I'm not going without serious pain involved.
