oh yeah...and one pain pill yesterday and none today.
I am still with pain but not as bad as a week ago, it's a step in the right direction.
I went in for MRI, X-rays, and an ultrasound yesterday and I meet with my dr. on fri. I hate waiting. I'm nervous.
I DID NOT like the MRI...but I think the ultra-sound was worse, because they make you drink like a horse and then hold it for far too long.
My mom drove on the bumpiest roads, when we got the hospital, I was in agony. I stopped off at the rest room before the elevators and let some go. I went down a floor to the office...pushing my 2 year old in a stroller rather quickly...leaving grams behind, and I told the receptionist who I was and that I was REALLY uncomfortable. IN FACT, I told them twice.
After 5 min. of pacing...i noticed the restroom and made myself absent and relieved myself just a wee bit more.
When I opened the door, there were 2 nurses standing with their backs to me and calling my name into the waiting room...when they heard the bathroom door open, they looked back and said, Gretchen?
and i said, yes?
and they gave me "THE LOOK" and said, you didn't go to the bathroom did you?
and I put my fingers up and said, maybe just a little bit. grin.
so anyway, i was still rather full and the ultra-sound tech. lady and her lil classmate told me I did a good job keeping my bladder full and it made her job easier.
I only wish they would tell me what they were looking at...but they say, oh, we don't read them, we just take pictures. YEAH! RIGHT! I know you know what a cyst looks like...just tell me...tell me now!
anyway, then down 1 more floor to the x-rays and then the MRI.
feels like a coffin and they tell ya you can bring a cd but it's so blasted loud, you can't hear it anyways. so I kept my eyes closed and tried real hard to go to my happy spot.
me,
g
