Not Feeling too Well...

Yesterday I felt bloated, full, and sweaty all day. I went and took Kirk to the ER to get his ribs checked out, he broke a few recently during a seizure and then fell on them but he checked out OK at the ER, just bruised this time. I was feeling weak by the time I took him and Jami home. I got home around ten p.m. and fell right asleep only to wake up in terrible upper abdominal pain. I tried to go back to sleep but kept waking, being hit by worse and worse waves of pain. I got up around midnight and debated calling an ambulance and ended up driving myself to the hospital. I don't remember the drive. The nurse tried to put in an IV to give me pain meds and got a vein in my wrist that hurt so bad he had to pull it back out to get me to stop screaming and I got the pain shot in the butt. They ran all kinds of bloodwork while I faded in and out on the pain meds and they couldn't find what was wrong. The doctor said it is likely too early in whatever is going on to show up in blood work so they sent me home on pain meds with instructions to follow up wit Dr. Rosman in the morning but all of the doctors at the clinic are booked until Friday. I've slept as much as possible and the pain is now lower near where my appendix used to be. I have the feeling I will be back in the hospital before Friday. I HATE not knowing what is wrong and hurting so bad!!!!!!!!! And I don't have time for this. How am I going to take Jeanette to work tomorrow? And Jeremy finally has a job interview tomorrow morning at sever a.m. I had promised to take little Jessalynn to the park today and have had to deal with her disappointment all day, poor thing. She has been giving me lots of kisses trying to make me well. They do make it easier to bear!!
I am very much enjoying having my bedroom to myself. I still had to deal with Jeremy pouting about the laundry today but at least his company is limited now.
OH, the pain meds are wearing off again or it is getting worse. Gotta get back to bed.
