E.R.

I woke up about 3:00 am this morning with bad abdominal pains. I spent some time in the bathroom and tried to go back to sleep. I just could not get comfortable and finally woke up Tony and told him I was really hurting. He went to the internet to look up my symptoms (severe abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, swollen stomach, and gas) Sorry for the details. The reason I was concerned that it was not just the flu is the pains were really high and felt similar to my c-section recovery. Also many of my symptoms matched up with appendicitis. After a couple hours of pain we decided at 5:00 to go to the E.R. We called Christina to stay with Zoe, who was wide awake by now:( Christina had to leave Scott who was also not feeling well. We got to the E.R. and they gave me morphine, something for the nausea and something else for the inflammation. Within 10 minutes I was feeling really good and ready to go home- haha. I then had an ultrasound. Results ruled out stones, appendicitis and a few other things I don't remember. Doctor said I had a gall bladder attack. She prescribed Prilosec and said to not eat any spicy or fatting food for a couple weeks. (guess I will have to watch all the Christmas treats)So we were home by 8:30 and I just woke up from a great nap. The pain is pretty much gone, I am just really weak. I am planning on going to school tomorrow, hopefully tonight goes better. I hope this is the last post before we are in MN:)
