ER ..meaning Emergency room. No….. not the TV show, but the reality show known as my life. Last Friday evening as I sat knitting and watching a little television, I started to have major… seriously major pains in my abdomen. So much so, that I was crying and moaning and yelling in pain and that is so not like me. I can take quite a lot, but this was more than I could handle quietly. Bob kept on saying that it was my gallbladder and we should go to the hospital…. but NOoooooo , I wasn’t giving up that quickly. I wasn’t going to no mean ol’ hospital where sick people go. After an hour of pain … yeah okay I agreed that I was one of those sick people and away we went. I called one of my friends who is a nurse and she met us there… you can’t have enough people in your corner when you’re not feeling well and after all she IS a nurse. After an IV, blood work, and major pain meds later, it was determined that it wasn’t gallbladder, but gastritis, and I got sent home with more pain meds (which I didn’t take…. me strong woman, me no need drugs) some meds for the stomach, and instructions not to eat anything spicy or greasy, no caffeine or alcohol and a bunch of other things . Well here I am 5 days later and I’m feeling better, still not 100% , but much much better than before and I’m still staying away from greasy and spicy (which I never really ate anyways.)
