so i spent 9am-4 in the ER. i've been sick (i wrote about this the other day) and my facilitator said after 3 days of vomiting and whatnot that i should go to the ER because it could have to do with my gallbladder operation i had a couple days ago. i came out fine, nothing was extra messed up. i had to drink this nasty stuff that was mixed in with apple juice (i had to drink 2 huge cups)that tasted horrid and i had to wait 2 hours for it to go through- so i go to sleep so i dont get sick from the nasty drink and i go to sleep, it was *good* sleep, i have no idea why, and my nurse comes in and gets close to me and asks me if i had my catscan done- i jumped 300 feet in the air and she said "oh, did I startle you?",lol, YES! so i go do the catscan and they made me sign the usual consent about not being pregnant and a paper about how iodine might cause a reaction, blah blah. it was pretty cool, the machine tells you out loud when to breathe and when to hold your breath,haha. everything was fine but somehow radiology sent my results to Nowhereland and i had to wait a half hour for that (you can't eat or drink until you get the results)- and im starving at this point and feel sick from not getting my morning meds. i did get some good reading done while i was waiting. Let me tell you that the fluid drip they had on me was ice cold, imagine ice corsing through your veins- i could not get warm (I had 4 blankets..) and i was miserable for a half hour for that. all in all it wasn't too bad, i was glad i brought my book. it did make me sad because i saw a man (late 50's maybe) and he was on a vent and in a coma, it was so crappy, his whole family was in the room with him, even little kids, it broke my heart. im not religious but i prayed for him for the sake of his family. it puts things into perspective. anyways, i left with a script for some non-narcotic pain killer and was told to continue the phenergen. on the plus side i am moved into my new apartment for good, but all my stuff is in trashbags and i have to unpack it. it's making me anxious. anyways, that was my day...
