Well, mateys, I've spoken to the biopsy doc and he can't squeeze me in till Thursday afternoon. The anti-inflammatories have worked but have really done a number on my tummy and I had to quit taking them so we"ll see if the sucker flares up again. Jeez, stuff doesn't move this slow on "Gray's Anatomy" or "ER"! This thing hurts! The ER doc only gave me enough pain meds (vicodin) through today but luckily I have extra stuff for when I get headaches.
The Emergency Room experience wasn't really all that bad. They built a really nice new ER since since I used to go there on a regular basis for my migraines. I had a private room with a TV and watched a little March Madness through my morphine fog. I also had a hunky boy nurse named Bill who had cute muscles and a ponytail and we discussed the politics and the sorry state of the US healthcare system. Every time he gave me a shot he had to ask if I was allergic to anything and I kept answering "housework", "mean people", "cold weather", "corporate greed," and "Republicans" (no offense to anyone). Yessir, Nurse Bill was the BEST!!!! If this thing flares up again I may have to go back there!!!
So right now I'm in a holding pattern and it hurts everytime I move so I'm just being a couch potato and catching up on "Flight of the Conchords", my fave HBO series.
Thanks for all your well wishes--they are all soooooooo appreciated!!
I love you guys!!
Hugs,
Capt Deb
