my birthday, my 1st ambulance ride & hospital drugs, bed rest

[Guest guest]

ok - so by the header you've guessed this has not been my best birthday ever LOL

Monday night, I started getting really sick doing some pc work for my mom. At first I thought it was another occular migraine (diagnosed that saturday) so I went to lay down - it kept getting worse - I was doubled over in pain - vomited etc. by 4:30 in the morning I was thinking of heading to the er - but I'm tougher than that. Tried to get some sleep. Took my daughter to work (we work together and her car wasn't behaving) and told them I was going across the street to the treatment center. a few hours later they think it's my appendix - OK so I panic - at 306 that's a lot of fat to go through. Then they finally give give me something for the pain - way out pains childbirth. Then comes the ambulance - I'm looped - I asked these 2 skinny guys if they were even told that I was morbidly obese and could I please just walk, (my sister and more than 1 of her co-workers - emt's and paramedics, have been injured carrying obese people). They said no and just don't try and

reach out and grab the sides etc. So off I go for my first ambulance ride. I'm so drugged I'm talking to co-workers and have no memory of that. It gets worse - at one point my sister is talking to me about ovaries and I'm talking to her about maple trees! Anyway - the cat scan shows at's a cyst on my ovary and not appendicitis. how can something so small (4.5 cm) hurt so damn much. I'm not usually such a whimp but this is kicking my butt. The doctor said 4 days bedrest - I had an appointment with my own gyn yesterday - she did the ultrasound and said it was most likely nothing to worry about, I went to work for half a day today - I don't do bedrest super well though I did spend my whole birthday in bed sleeping.

So in a nutshell - I'm a year older LOL -Live, Love, Laugh
