ΛｑβｑΛββΊβββ½ β βΎββΊββΛｑβο½‘Λ Here's my first ever hospital story and everything I have had to go through this past week staying overnight.
So about a month ago I woke up with severe heartburn. A few days later I got food poisoning from Chick Fil A through work because they were giving us lunches during prime week.
Well for the past month I have been having regular everyday heartburn flareups that would last from 1 hour to 18 hours straight.
It would happen after I ate, it would happen if I didn't eat, it would happen at work, in bed, laying on the couch trying to draw.
The weird thing was that when it went away finally I felt like 100% so I kept telling myself I didn't need a doctor.
Well fast forward to this past Monday. I had to work, 170 stops for Amazon Delivery and most of them were businesses with 50 lb packages. My flareup started at 2pm and persisted all night.
After work that day around 9pm I decided to go to urgent care to see what was up.
They gave me a GI cocktail and a prescription for heartburn and sent me home.
Well I get home because the prescription wasn't ready yet, and im laying on the couch in pretty decent pain still.
After an hour I get up to go to bed and I immediately feel nauseous and go to throw up. Threw up everything I ate that day (brought myself a nice lunch to work that day)
From that moment on I had a horrible NEW pain in my right side. I didn't sleep at all that night for being in so much pain.
In the morning I tried drinking water after we picked up my heartburn pills from the pharmacy. Well after that I threw up straight bile and said it's time to go to the ER.
I get to the ER and they take urine, and blood and start running tests. My urine was the darkest orange you ever saw.
They send me to an ER exam room and there the doc comes back with my blood test results. My liver numbers (Bilirubin) is very high which indicates a gall bladder problem.
Next they order me an abdominal ultrasound and that showed my gallbladder FULL of stones. Immediately I am admitted. As I'm waiting for my hospital room doc comes back again and tells me I also have pancreatitis. My pancreas levels (Lipase) was at 26,000 (normal is 100s) effectively showing I have Pancreatitis. They believed one or more of my stones went into the pancreas and causing it to inflame immensely. I also am diagnosed with a UTI and my original Heartburn. While I'm still waiting on my room they ordered me an MRI to see if they could see the stone in the pancreas.
Finally get up to my hospital room. On antibiotics all night, getting blood taken at 4am, and on an NPO diet (no liquids or food, only Saline through my IV)
Now this is Wednesday morning. They tell me my pancreas levels are still high 1,900 so they are going to wait a day to do surgery.
I'm upset I wanted this overwith lol
I just chill in my room all day, my boyfriend has come to visit me every day so far twice a day he's wonderful. This time I get a clear liquid diet but NPO at midnight.
Now it's Thursday. Pancreas levels at 600. Finally take a shower an I finally get to have my surgery. They are removing my entire gallbladder. First time ever being put under, being cut open, all that jazz but it went off without a hitch. I'm still in a decent amount of pain when I'm all done and my boyfriend is here in my room waiting for me when they bring me back up.
My surgeon comes to visit me and tells me they found a gallstone in my bile duct and i will need another procedure tomorrow.
On clear liquid again until midnight, then NPO. Blood taken again at 4am, antibiotics and saline given all night.
Now today, Friday.
Pancreas levels are up again, 2,000.
They come get me at 11am, and I am put under again. They used a tube with a catheter to locate the stone, found some sludge in there as well and cleaned all that out. Put a plastic stint in to help liquid flow through. Woke up with no pain this time and headed back to my room.
Still need to be on clear liquid diet but no more NPO.
Tomorrow they are going to check my labs and make sure I can eat a normal diet without any complications, then I get to go home.
It has been such a crazy ride for my first time ever in a hospital like this.
Thank you to all who Commissioned me and your patience while I got through this. I really hope they will let me go home tomorrow I miss my love and my kitty and my bed.
Any donations you feel like giving would really help me towards my bills, as I have to take these next 2 weeks off work to recover from all of this. Of course commissions are open as well and my discord is

If you just want to chat, it's been pretty lonely here when my love goes home.
Thank you to all who actually read all of this, I tried to type it so you could stay interested while reading ππ©΅π

Holy fucking shit. I was literally thinking about reaching out to you earlier today on Discord. Not even to ask about the commission, just see how you're doing. God damn, I'm so sorry to hear that. How did it go from 600 all the way back up to 2000? I have so many questions of how and why, but my smooth brain likely won't be able to comprehend it all
