Another Day, Another Problem :(

*DISCLAIMER* I am not the best with spelling, so please forgive my errors.  Also, please remember to protect the privacy of friends and family, all names have been changed.


So I thought things were going to start improving, but they seem to be going backward....

So that church event I was speaking of yesterday??  I did go, and I felt fine all day.  I rode with Carrie that morning to pick up her in-law's dog, I did some schoolwork, and watched TV with JakeJake and I went to the church event early to help set up.  The most streneous thing I did was open bags of chips and pour them into bowls.  So I go to the restroom, and again, the places they made the incisions were bleeding everywhere.  So I cleaned myself up, went to pee, and last thing I remember after flushing the toilet was this surge of pain hitting my right shoulder blade, right side of my ribcage, and my entire pelvic area.  I don't remember actually hitting the floor or things going black.  They called an ambulance, and I went to the ER. 

The ER is sometimes helpful, sometimes not so helpful.  Last night was one of their not so helpful nights.  They wanted a urine sample for me, so I asked for a wheelchair so I could go to the bathroom and get one.  For whatever reason, they insisted on inserting a cathader, which by the way, MOST UNCOMFORTABLE THING IN MY LIFE.  They left that thing in for several hours.  They gave me a shot of Dilaudid in my IV for pain, which I was kind of mad about, because the doctor hadn't seen me yet and how was I supposed to tell him where I was hurting and how badly I was hurting all doped up??  I didn't tell them not to, I just didn't realize what they were giving me at the time they did it.  It didn't last very long either, so I sat in there crying for several hours as well.  Not only that, but I was bleeding everytime I urinated, and I was also producing blood clots from my vaginal area.  They must not have inserted the cathader correctly, because I was sitting in my own urine and blood the whole time I was there asking for help and never really received any.  The ER doctor didn't say much at all, and what he did say I was unable to take in because it was 2 am and I was tired and loopy from the Dilaudid.  He offered to write me a script for more pain medicine, but I told him no because I still had some that my own doctor had given me, and I didn't want to get hooked on the stuff.  So it was pretty useless.  Had I known it would have gone that way, I would have just gone home and slept.

Today though, I have been SITTING. ALL. DAY.  I am bored out of my mind, and really lonely because Jake has been working all day.  The nurse from the surgery center called, and I told her about the blood clots, the pain, and then mentioned that everytime I pee, I am urinating blood.  Which is a bit scary.  So I have to see my doctor again tomorrow and miss yet another day of school, which I am not thrilled about.  I am urinating a lot of bright red blood everytime I go to the bathroom, and it is really scary.

I am trying to stay positive and look forward to the weekend.  Jake's dad and his(Jake) younger brother, Lucas may be coming to visit suring the day Sautrday.  I also got a call from my friend Trevor(who actually introduced Jake & I, and is dating my cousin Lizzie) saying that he was flying in Lizzie this Friday and they may come visit up around lunchtime Saturday as well.  So I am really happy at seeing everybody.  Especially Lucas, he is like a little brother to me as well, and I have not seen him in a long time due to some issues I won't go into on here.  Then, Saturday night, my friend Carrie and her husband Matt should be coming over to watch a documentary with Jake & I.  Saturday will be a great day, assuming we can get my health stable for then.

Well, I have to wrap this up.  Top Model is about to start and I am such a Top Model fangirl it is sad.  I have to text my twin to remind her to watch it as well.  I wish she could just drive over and watch it with me :(

See ya.  I'll update after I visit my doctor tomorrow.
