Morning in the ER...

Today was the 1st day of my life I have ever gone to the hospital for myself. Last night I was having pain around my right ovary. Well it just wouldn't go away and my uncle had told me last night that if it didn't go away and I had nausea I needed to go to the ER. So this morning I woke up and of course the pain was still there and I thought all my insides were going to come out! So I tired to forget about it except the pain took me to my knees. I went and told my mom that the pain was still there and i couldn't function so sure enough we were off to the ER.

We got to the ER around 6:45 am (great shift change!!). I sat in the waiting room for about 15 minutes (which at this hospital your wait time is less then 30minutes). I went back and the nurse took my blood pressure and asked me a bunch of questions, but nothing about my family history, which is kinda of important when Chron's disease runs in the family and stomach pain and nausea is a sign of it. But anyways they took me back to a room and asked me to pee in a cup, well normally I can pee with no problem but not when I'm told to so they gave up on that for then. The doctor came in and kept asking me if I was pregnant. I kept saying "no,no, no!" but he would not listen to me. So he made me lay down and started to touch my stomach and he said "I can't fell anything.." My response "THAT HURTS!!" He then decided well lets start on IV and run some tests. What goes through my head is 'oh my goodness what are you going to do to me?'

My IV gets started with about a dozen pieces of tape to where I can't move my arm and 10 tubes of blood were taken. So I am sitting there waiting and waiting for my "tests" to be run. Well come to find out I still had to pee in the cup to find out if I am pregnant. So that finally happened and they ran a pregnancy test....hahaha they just didn't believe me. Well then the doctor came back and said he is going to send me for an ultrasound to look at my ovaries because it is not my appendix (yes! no surgery!).

Ultrasounds are very interesting. seeing your insides is really cool. So that happened and the results were normal. So the "wonderful" doctor came back and said "Nothing is wrong you can go now."

Well I was not satisfied at all because there was pain in my body and I want to know what it is. So I get a little worried because it is over my ovaries and I don't want anything to happen to my ovaries. I am 21 and want kids down the road. I have that mommy gene in my body that always says baby, baby, baby. I love kids and babies and being around them they are great and always interesting and keeps you on your toes. But I want kids one day and so does JJ and I want our kids to be healthy and ours. I think adoption is great and is a wonderful thing but I want mine and JJ's baby together, our own blood baby.

Anyways so I went to my family doctor and she said that it is my ovaries and I need to go to my GYN. So I talked to them and I am going Thursday afternoon. I know everything is going to be fine I just don't want to be in pain and I want everything to be good.

Well I am going to go to bed because it has been a long day. Good night!
