Stones
I'm so bummed to say that I'm writing from the hospital tonight. I'm both bored and totally exhausted; I'm about to succumb to the exhaustion and put my bed down to sleep. The short version is that I've had a nagging back pain for a month or so, and it got worse this past weekend. I made an appointment with my doc for Monday afternoon, and couldn't make it through the day - it was getting worse every hour. To the doc, to the ER, fainted in the ER, admitted, test, test, test, and here I am waiting to see what happens next. I have many gallstones and am waiting to find out if I have kidney stones as well. The pain is other-worldly; I've never in my life even dreamt that this kind of pain exists. Lots of good drugs, but I hate this, I really do. Surgery possible for tomorrow, waiting to hear from the doc. Boo. :(

Oh no! That sounds awful - I hope they're giving you all the best pain meds (with leftovers for when you go home)!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a speedy and pain-free recovery!
Oh my goodness! Here I am emailing with you having no idea you are on drugs in the hospital. Dear lordie woman, I hope you get fixed up quick and are pain free very soon.
ReplyDeleteYow! Tell those nurses to take good care of you or they will have Male Nurse Dave to deal with.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope they sort it out VERY quickly for you and that you can recover quickly over Christmas. Hugs

ReplyDeletePrayers, good vibes, healing thoughts, cutting chicken's heads off (whatever it takes, sister), etc. for your health and healing.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Oh my god that must be painful. I'm so sorry, and hope that everything is taken care of quickly and recovery is fast and easy. Big hug from us (maybe at more shoulder-level!).
ReplyDeleteTwo things. Firstly, I wish I could have written as coherently as you whilst been on "good drugs". Secondly, the guy I work with was off with nagging back pain too. His turned out to be a tumour on his spine and in his bowel. I'm pleased that I already know the outcome of your post-op surgery.
