The ER is a horrifying place
14 years ago
Just a bit of an update.
Yesterday I woke up with intense pain in my right side and ended up getting sick from it. Figuring that I just pulled a muscle or slept wrong I let it go.
At about three in the afternoon I finally broke down and cried like a cry-baby-sissy-pee-pants from the pain and my family decided I needed to go to the ER.
The waiting room is creepy...not in the horror and gore kind of way, more of the everyone-is-hacking-up-a-lung kind of creepy; not to mention it was super busy. I ended up there for five hours, endured 6 injections with my IV, had a CAT scan, and was made to drink some really nasty stuff for the CAT scan.
After getting some really nice pain medication that, for a lack of a better term, made me stoned, I found out I have a kidney stone. I was given four prescriptions and will be laid up for the next few days.
On a good note, that means I'll be able to sit down and work on a few of the projects that are at the top of my priority list at the moment.
