OMG where do I start? OK so I told you about the whole ovarian cyst party last week. AND that I had had one like 12 years ago... blah blah. Not much you can do... ride it out, take pain meds, and then you are fine. I DID feel better over the weekend, thus the canning, and cleaning, but Monday felt AWFUL AGAIN. Same side but, different. Higher, and in the back. I was thinking, WTF....is it the same, or different? It seemed different, but on the same side.
Of course, all in the midst of trying to deal with DS issues I spoke of yesterday. I MUST preface this by saying I will ALWAS wait to the last moment to go to the Dr. As I did last week. I thought, possibly I had just done too much on Sunday, and Monday's pain was a result of that. It did continue until yesterday...and got worse. As I sd, I HATE the DR. and only go if I feel there is no other option...now I have to go twice in the same week? UG. My DH who always is right that I should have gone a day or two sooner than I do, and who forces me to go....Was VERY worried yesterday, b/c I called him at work and sd come home, and take me to the ER. HE knowing my usual MO was REALLY worried.
I was in sooo much pain I was UBER bitch. I insisted that he just feed and walk the dogs before we go. I asked him to find me an ER that was not "Burlington Hospital"(local)...He sd, we would go to Waukesha Hosp. I was in soo much pain I sd, " AND how did you decide that?" He sd, "It was the next closest." I quipped....." What my medical care is not so much of a concern to you, that you just look for the next closetest
place!?. I also insulted his driving, and pretty much anything else I could.I was very much in pain and unruly. I stated, "TAKE ME TO FREODERT."
We waited in the waiting room at Freodert for OVER 2 1/2 hrs. I had to puke, I JUST wanted to lie down. When we left...there were 7 ppl ahead of me, and probably another 2 hrs.
I sd.."Just take me home.". He sd let's just try Waukesha Hosp." I agreed. We got a room in about an hour...at 9:45pm.
I had explained my pain...explained what I went though on Thurs...explained that although the pain is as much or more intense, but a bit different.
They gave me nausea meds, pain meds, a CT scan. After about 3 hours the VERY comical DR. came back and said..." I have good news, and bad news....Your organs look good, the bad news you and your toilet will become very good friends very soon".
He continued to explain that I was literally "full of shit." Hence the FOS syndrome.
Apparently, last week when I had the cyst burst, it caused "trauma" to my colon which chose not to contract, and do it job moving the goods down the tract...well that in the perfect storm of me being dehydrated, and on pain meds that constipate, all were not a good thing.
So after spending over 2 hrs in one ER, and moving to another...I found that I was so in pain, b/c my colon was ready to explode. I felt like such a dumb ass. The Dr. assured me it was a REAL and REASONABLE pain. He stated that is was a chain effect from the cyst.
I still have to say even though the pain level was somewhere just under child birth, I still felt stupid. The Dr. said, the amount of poop blocked was the size of a baby. I DID believe that...knowing the pain. He said you have no idea, it real, and VERY painful. Somehow, I still felt so stupid.
The cure...well if anyone has had to do a colonosicospy prep....that, Drink a gallon of the poop freeing goo.
Drank the goo...stuff is a flowing, still have a some pain, but it is getting better all the time.
Once again, I guess the dogs will have to wait. I think that has become my sign off.
