(((((Kristin))))) I'm relieved you went to the ER. I was worried. I hope the good drugs start helping and you get some answers very soon.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Good God, honey-- what the hell's going on?

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks again to you all for keeping me company tonight. I haven't really slept yet, but I've dosed a bit. The doctor just came in with results. Blood and urine look fine. Ultrasound shows nasty cystic ovaries (no surprise there) and what looks like blood from a ruptured one. The doc says that she can't completely rule out appendicites, however, so she's decided to do a CT scan. Fun. I get to drink the gross contrast fluid shortly and will have the scan in a few hours once it's had time to spread through my body. No way I'm getting out of here before 8 at this point. Blah.

Oh gross. The contrast is worse than I remembered. It tastes like dirty pool water.

Kristin, I'm sorry to see you had such a rough night. I hope things are improving by now.

Yuck, Kristin. I hate that stuff. Best of luck.
I actually slept through the night for the first time in at least a week. I almost feel human today.

Thanks Brenda and sj. Night's not over yet, but the morphine is mostly keeping the pain at bay at least. I am more worried about managing to drink all of this nastiness without puking at this point. I will be very glad when I eventually get home and get to sleep, but I don't think that will be before 8 at the earliest at this point. I can't sleep now because I have to drink a cup of this crap every twenty minutes until it's gone. I'm trying to figure out how to trick myself into believing it's not as gross as it is.
Also, Moaning!Girl has gotten louder and more persistent. I truly do feel badly that she's in so much pain, but she's making it difficult for me to forget about my own. This may make me callous and strange.

Kristin, if you think you can't drink all that stuff, ask them to give you a shot of something that will keep you from throwing up. That's usually what I have to do.
