Bogdana is happy.
Wow. Yesterday was baaad. Lets start at the beginning:
Monday I felt like I was cramping, but I’d already had my period. So I assumed it was just ovulation pain. Tuesday night around 8pm, I was in loads of pain on my lower right side. I thought it was gas, but it was really bad… it resolved on its own around 1130. Then Wednesday morning around 1045 it came back while I was having lunch with a friend.
I dropped my friend off at her house and started the 35 mile trek to the hospital I work at. I passed a few hospitals on the way but I figured if they find out whats wrong and I don’t need surgery, then I can just go up to work. By the time I got off the interstate in the hospital’s neighborhood, I was contemplating parking on the side of the road and calling an ambulance. I made it to the parking lot, hobbled in to the hospital, and signed in while trying not to fall on the floor. The pain was horrible, like I’ve never experienced before and it was only going to get even worse.
So they take my blood pressure; 140/96, wow quite high compared to my normal 110/76. Proof I’m in paaaain. I waited in the waiting room but it was so embarrassing. I was breathing weird and writhing around and after probably only 5 minutes I said “can you please help me this pain is unbearable”. I got to the back room and the pain got worse. When the PA-C came in to ask me about stuff I started crying. I have NEVER cried because of pain in my adult life. Its like you can’t believe its hapening to you.
Long story short I have an ovarian cyst. They burst and hurt people. They also can hurt people when they are ovulating, which is what I’m doing. I had to get a lot of blood tests and a CAT scan and I couldnt eat or drink the 8 hours I was there because if it was my appendix they would have had to do surgery. Cysts, on the scale of bad shit to happen to you, aren’t too bad. they rarely require surgery or anything like that.
Unfortunately for me, the CAT scan IV injections have made me ill. So I have pain AND Gastrointestinal problems. I threw up this morning and felt better for about 5 minutes but now I feel like garbage again. I have so much to do and I can’t do any of it, nor can I go to work, goodbye money! What a rough couple of weeks for me! I think I’ve had so much illness and pain that Jason’s probably forgotten today’s the anniversary of his car wreck 9 years ago.
Send me get-well vibes!Picture of me AFTER some pain med administration!
