I really didn't intend for this blog to sound all complaining the whole time, but life has been hectic lately. Thurday May 1st, I woke to very intense stomach pain. I thought it was maybe a cystic ovary. I called the consulting nurse hotline, the nurse told me I needed to go in as soon as possible. That was about 10:15 am. They set an appointment at 11:10 am. I went in, they poked and prodded. Torturing my stomach, only to tell me that I needed to be seen for emergency ultrasound. Since there were no opening at the Everett campus, I had to drive down to Redmond to the Eastside Campus. They got me very quickly. The Ultrasound took about an hour. They did a pelvic and abdominal US. Again, nothing conclusive. I have had blood draw three times now. On May 1st the white cell count was really high. Today, May 3, down again. I think that was in response to the sore throat I have had for two weeks. Because today, I am almost completely over it. Today, the doctors tell me that it could be my gallbladder. That actually makes sense. There is a strong family link and both my mother and grandmother had theirs removed. So, the next step is a GI evaluation by a specialist. I am waiting for an appointment for that now. Hopefully that will be quick because I am still uncomfortable. Though not near as bad as it was on the first. I was hunched over almost in tears it was so bad. I did have a blessing and that has helped.
Anyways, Chad comes home in about an hour. Looking forward to that; Though he is sick as well. So on the way home we are stopping by urgent are at East Side group health to get him seen.
Have a good after noon! I will write later!
