Trip to ER & SURPRISE!
Wednesday evening, May 2nd, another episode. Wednesday night again. I ask David to take me to the ER but I can't even move to get in the car let alone out of bed. Obviously I know it passes so I need to tough it out. The pain passes and David asks if I need help getting to the car. I can't see going to the ER when the pain is gone and other than absolute exhaustion I feel fine. I decide to wait and just call the doc when they open Thursday morning. At 7 David leaves for work, says call me if you need me or if you need me to come home and take you to the doctor. At 7:30 another episode is hitting and my sister calls. She is on her way to take my niece to sign up for Kindergarten. She insists she swing by and take me to the hospital. She said at the very least so they can give me something to make the pain stop. Well that convinced me. On our way there I called David to let him know. He said he'd head up there shortly. My sister let my parents know she was taking me to the ER. I had her drop me off and only to my protest would she leave me as I did NOT want them missing Elisha's big day. Besides David was on his way and Mom decided to come too. Plus who knew how long I'd have to sit in the waiting room. But they took my vitals, told them my pain was an 8 and my blood pressure was sky high (from the pain of course). That prompted them to take me immediately. I saw 3 nurses, explaining to each my symptoms all while rocking back and forth on the hospital bed with tears. The Dr. came in, felt around, I was definitely way more tender on my left side. She ordered an iv with a shot of pain meds and zofran for the nausea. First thoughts were ruptured cyst or kidney stone. After about 5 minutes I was feeling gooooood and so thankful! They had me go pee in a cup and took some blood. Then said have a seat in the waiting room while we have the labs run. At that time my Mom showed up. But no sooner did I start filling Mom in, the nurse comes out and says the doc needs to discuss something with me. I thought that was an odd statement but ok. I walked back into the room and have a seat. Dr. H says honey we can't run a CT scan or give you anymore pain medicine because you're pregnant. Oh no I'm not I argued. I JUST saw my ob/gyn last week and talked to them yesterday, test was negative. She said well that was last week, this week test is positive. You have a terrible bladder infection and we are now concerned about an ectopic pregnancy. Just freaking great. She said we've made a call to your Dr. and will do some ultrasounds soon. I'll call you back when we're ready. I leave the room in tears and texting David to hurry up.
