Default Donna's Day

My night and day started with not much fun. I was up every few hours, thanks to the pain and bruising in my left side. That was okay at 3:30
when I went to the bathroom, and took my emergency breather.

Then at 6:30 I awake to a stabbing pain, it moved from the side to my
left front, right under the breast. Couldn't move much, and breathing
was a crying spell. So I thought it was not going to get better. SO
I got dressed and took myself to ER. Decided I needed some help.

I then got back and found out I was to get a x-ray, blood work and some
pain meds, and a breathing treatment. He heard wheezing, yep I knew
that but the coughing was the worst. But it wasn't possible with the
Pain. Anyway I got the pain meds, the other stuff, all the sudden needed
a urine -catherater. So then I got back to my room, was feeling good thanks to pain meds.

Forgot as the pain meds were to be strong, was told if no one there, I would
have to have a ride. Ugh, didn't want to make that call. So asked if she
would. It was easier to get yelled at after it was over. Also knew he didn't
have the nerve to tell her no.

So then for some reason a ct scan was ordered too. Hmmm, I thought, why we are looking for kidney stones. And then they had said, a hour and
it would be all back, and home with hubby. Had even told him a hour.

Well it was 21/2 hours after he arrived about 30 to 45 minutes late, thinking okay they will be late, she will be ready. He was not mad at least.

Good mood, told Derrick he could have slept a extra 30 minutes at least.

They went to waiting room to watch tv, I told hubby to it was going to be probably at least a hour, the labs were taking a while. Not sure why it should have been back all ready.

But the diagnosis finally was, kidney stones, but not the pain, but will be one day. Going into pneumonia, and the coughing and stuff is rib cage pain probably from coughing. No ribs them self effected.

And that it was they were sending me home, but that if not better to come back. And it was really borderline to send me with the asthma.

I would probably have fought, but my mom's party at her house is tomorrow, night and I already know the meds he prescribed wont work till at least Sunday for sure. And unless they did IV really really strong I was stuck till
Sunday or Monday. ANd I didn't want him to deside to cancel on my mom.

Derrick didn't deserve that or the others.
