I think I must subconsciously like hospitals. I was back in the ER on Saturday for vomiting... I had the precautionary head CT scan to make sure the good 'ol head clot wasn't acting up...looked good so I was sent home...back in the ER on Sunday because now was nauseous and had the worst abdominal pain I've ever had...had CT scan of abdomen...something looked weird... sent to my usual "PNH hospital" via ambulance (hour and a half from my home). And now here I sit... in my "second home". I had another CT scan done of my abdomen here and their were some abnormal results, but unfortunately the doctors dont know whats going on. So... I get to wait. As of yesterday I am not in excruciating pain, so thats good. I do have a headache, but compared to the abdominal pain I was having this headache is nothing. I hadn't eaten since friday due to my nauseousness...then they wouldnt let me eat anything! An hour go they finally told me I could eat... but only for 5 hours then I cant eat again because I get to have an endoscopy tomorrow.(Is swallow a little camera thing so they can check out my small intestines) Im not too excited about this...but apparently they give me some pretty good drugs so I'm there but not really "there". So I just ordered a cheeseburger, a salad, angel food cake, strawberry ice cream, and a sprite. B went to chipotle and got me a burrito for later. :) He's so great. Although I'm glad I'm feeling better...it makes me more annoyed that I have to be here. But I would like to know what caused the pain. They ruled out a clot in the small intestines... which is what they originally thought. But not knowing whats going on, and having the doctors not know whats going on either just makes me irritable. We can fly to the moon but we cant cure cancer (or PNH). Ok.. sorry, Im done ranting.
So I know I was going to try to steer clear of "medical posts" but what can I say?? The only thing that annoys me is that my lovely mother in law has been watching Bubz this whole time. Ugh!! I am grateful for her "help"... but theres just something about having a crazy woman take care of your child that drives you nuts. I know she is a great gradmother and loves him to death. But I guess I'm just still hurt about her view of me. Anyhoo... she's crazy and I shouldnt care.
Take care all... and I'll try not to stay here too long. :)

God.. that sounds terrible :(
Ok here's a joke I just heard.. hmm not exactly just a funny line from a movie:
A couple of ppl r trapped in a maze, which is equipped with numerous deadly traps and one of them just got his face burnt off by some highly caustic acid. One guy - a cynical engineer - seems to be quite indifferent and a woman tries to stir up his will to live by saying: "So you don't have anything in life to live for? A wife? A girlfriend or sth.?"
And the guy replies coldly: "Nope, but I DO have a fine collection of pornography." XD XD
Hmm btw, maybe we could establish links? You know a friend of mine has been dreaming of becoming a doc so imagine his excitement when he hangs around my blog and happens to stumble upon a medical blog lol.. :)
Take care. ;)
