Thanks to everyone who called to voice their concerns and offer any needed assistance. I'm doing much better as of this evening. For those of you who don't know, I was suffering from some major abdominal pain and went to the doctor yesterday. I was informed that it was most likely apendicitis, so I was scheduled for a cat scan at Richardson Regional few hours later.
My mom met me at the hospital and Frank went home to pack an overnight bag for me. I was forced to drink 900mL of something called contrast liquid. It was supposedly berry flavored, but it tasted like crap. It took me almost 2 hours to finish all of it. I got my cat scan around 7:30pm and shortly after I got the news that I didn't have appendicitis, but had suffered from a ruptured ovarian cyst. So I was free to go home. I was very happy to not need surgery.
When I got home I took my "cocktail" of 1/2 hyrocodone and 2 benedryl to help with the pain and let me get a good night's sleep. I slept till noon today, which was wonderful! I thought I was feeling better, but within 30 minutes I was having hot-flashes, dizziness, fever, and a headache. A couple of extra strength Tylenol did the trick.
I got online to do some work from home, but I was accosted by some concerned co-workers who were adamant that I needed to get some more sleep and take this more seriously. At the urging of these co-workers I went back to the doctor to have some blood work done. I'll have the results by tomorrow. However, I am feeling almost 100% this evening. Minus a headache, I feel normal. I even ate spaghetti for dinner while watching Napolean Dynamite. Great movie.
I'm off to bed now so I will be well rested for work tomorrow.
