Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to the ER I Go. . .

So yesterday was a very interesting day. . .

Friday afternoon, I began having some rather strange and intense pain. Then by Saturday, the pain was continuing and was actually getting a bit worse. On Sunday, it was awful and in conjunction with the pain, I was experiencing many other symptoms that warranted a call to my doc. (I am leaving out details on purpose!) . . .

Their exact diagnosis was that I had a stomach bug! Um, NO! I know the difference between a stomach bug and what I was experiencing. So, I called my other doctor (yes I have TOO many docs on board!) and he said that in absolutely no way is this normal and to get to the ER. . .

Well, after figuring out some mild logistics, we were on our way. Upon arrival, I was quickly whisked through triage and into a room. Changed into a gown. Vitals taken. IV started. Labs Drawn. Visit with the PA. And a few others things all within about 30 minutes!

The PA ordered some meds and within a few minutes of administering one of them, I began to have an allergic reaction ~ GREAT! So, this brought back in my nurse, the PA, and now the ER Doc. Then more meds. More tests. More waiting. Etc. Etc.

By midnight, I was told that I would be discharged, but I now have to follow up with a GI doc. There are a few things that were stated, the most prominent being a Peptic Ulcer that is/was bleeding. As of right now, the bleeding has stopped and the bloating is diminishing. If anything gets worse, I am to return to the ER or my doc right away. . .

So, here we go again. At this point, if I do not laugh about any of this (which by the way hurts to do!), I would be in a world of trouble. . . This is getting ridiculous and we could honestly use prayer. Not just for me, but for my family. My husband. My kiddos. My extended family. All involved. . .
