What a road to have to face......


It has been a while since I have done any blogging but I thought now that I have a little free time on my hands well I am under the weather I would share the past weekend with you all.

It started in the middle of the week last week with me just feeling really sick, I thought it was no big deal as I have felt that way before and it has just gone away. well Friday June 3rd came and I started to feel really sick, I thought "OH NO. NOT THE FLU" but I let it roll off my shoulders and went about my day. Friday night I was babysitting for some of our friends when I started to get some terrible pain in my belly it started out as just cramps (I was not due for my period so I thought how odd is that, why would I of been cramping like that) as the night went on the cramps only got worse, so I thought well maybe something I ate didn't sit right. I got home around 1am on friday night and just went to bed and thought I would sleep it off. saturday came and I felt worse then ever. awful cramping and I mean we are not talking period cramping cause I can handle that no big deal at all but this cramping I could hardly walk on my own and I felt so sick, Luke was headed off to work. so I called my best friend Melissa and her being as wonderful as she is came and got me and took me to the walk in, in bellingham at the walk in they couldn't run any test on me with it being the weekend, so they told me it sounded like it was case by my appendix (at that point I was a bit freaked out, the thought of surgery scares me greatly) at the walk in they told me if the pain got any worse to head to the ER RIGHT AWAY. me being who I am. I thought I could just brush it off and deal with the pain until it went away on it's own. so I went back to my best friend's house for a BQQ that lives about 40 minutes away from the hospital, As soon as we got to her house my pain started to get a LOT worse. I told her we better get to the hospital now. Thankfully her husband was home and took over the children. we got to the ER at about 6:30pm. they told me there was about 3 people ahead of me. I could hardly talk or walk by this point I was in so much pain. after about 20-30 minutes of waiting they took me in front of the 3 people that was before me, they ran test on me but could NOT find my appendix, I was shaking and having trouble breathing it hurt so bad. after about 2 hours of screaming in pain they drug me up pretty good to kill the pain and calm me down so I could at least catch my breath and relax enough so they could run a couple test on me. after about five tests and about 7 hours of being in the ER and them still not knowing what is wrong and not being able to find my appendix they wanted to run one last test on me which was a CT at about 1 o clock in the morning and by this time I was so wore out and needed a break, needed some rest more then anything else. so I turned down the CT on sunday morning and headed home to get some rest. I was able to sleep well on some pretty heavy drugs to help with the pain. on monday I headed back to the doctor's for that CT (which I would never get again, I hate how it made me feel, I hate the fact the ink is inside my body, it made me feel very weird and get really hot and my skin turned red and I have been drinking water like crazy since) So I got the CT done to see if it was anything to do with my appendix and so far it is ending that my appendix are OKAY and no need for surgery. praise be to God for this BUT it was a cyst on my left side that bust and then I had another one also. these are the worse most painful things I have ever felt in my life. I am glad we have come to the end of this puzzle and now just for my pain to go away and for me to feel better again. I am told by my doctor that I COULD get one of these painful cyst EVERY month when I am fertile. I am praying to God that this isn't the case and that this was only a one time thing or a once every 10 year thing. I have a doctors a appt with my OBGY on thursday and I have a ton of qustions for her. for now I am taking it day by day to recover from this. praise be to God for NO SURGERY!!!

Thank you to my wonderful husband for being there with me in the ER and taking care of me.
Thank you to my best friend/sister Melissa for taking care of me and driving me to the ER and looking out for me. you are a blessing to me. I love you girl.
