It seems like last Friday never started! I got really sick over the weekend. I thought I just had food poisioning or something. I just had a really upset stomach down on my lower right side. It was painful. But it was also more like heartburn. But it didn't go away with tums. The pain shoots through my right side to my back. I had a dr's appt on Tue anyway.They ran more tests. My white blood cell count was normal but my red blood cell count was high and there was a blood in my urine. So I thought maybe a bladder infection, but I usually get really nauseated with those. This was a SHARP pain. The dr. thought it was my appendix or my kidneys. We did cat scan on Tue but it came back with only my lymph noides inflamed that were attatched to my appendix. He said it just could be the early signs of appendicitis or a kidney infection. He gave me antibotics and then another medication for the cramping. So far it seems to be helping better than the tylonol every 4 hrs. Today I still really hurt and was having cold sweats. But this eveing the antibotics seems to be working. So maybe I can finally sleep. I couldn' sit or lay down it was easier for me to stand - so I haven't been on the comp much. The Dr. still may refer me to a GI just to rule out my appendix. He said sometimes it can be found that way too and because of the location of my pain. Dang it hurts when he pushes on me! I said whatever it is Don't let it be my Gallbladder. Everyone at work says it's a nasty surgery but better when it's taken out. What do we need the Gall bladder and the appendix for anyway?! LOL! Even kidneys ya only need one. I know my mom has the trouble with the kidneys. It makes me appreciate what she goes through. That was probably minor. I just need to not be such a sissy. I have tried to be better and have a better pain tolerance and not take things just because I hurt. Pain scares me. Real physical pain. YIKES!
On a lighter note - we had a really cool dust storm, blow inabout 4 pm today. It was really cool to watch the sky turn a funny dirty yellow color. But we did actually get a little rain out of it. Which was nice!
I have been watching a little of the news - but it's so dang depressing and desperate what's going on over there in NO. It so sad. I can't even pathom that. Tragedy like that is hard for me to comprehend. I don't mean that to sound casual, but I truley can't even imagine what those people are going through. I hope and pray for the best of an UGLY situation.
On another lighter note - I don't like to end things depressing. Buster has been very silly lately. His newest thing is icecubes - he likes two of them at a time. If Bilko won't eat his Buster tries to pick his up at the same time!
