Doctor fun

Okay, sorry I haven't posted recently but I have been a little under the weather, and let's see no one is surprised right? Last Thursday, the 15th, started like any other day, get in the shower and get ready for the day, well while getting in the shower I started to have some pain. 15 min later I was on the floor of my bathroom waiting for Creed to come and save the day. He took me to the ER where they gave me pain meds and tried to tell me that the pain was caused by menstrual cramps-let's just say that I was furious that that was the ending conclusion, but they said if I was still in pain in 12 hours that I had to come back. So Friday at 6:00, 16 hours later, found us in the ER again. Where they ran some more tests and this doctor said that if the CT scan came back normal that I needed to see my OBGYN for possible endometriosis. Then he gave me some pain meds and sent me home. I have since been on the mend, meaning laying on the couch for the most part and praying that I get better fast. I am feeling better today and am very excited that I was able to get an appointment with my ever busy OBGYN this week, I called at the end of March and was told this was the earliest I could get in and that I was lucky because someone before me had called and canceled their appointment-otherwise I was looking at July! Anyway, I do have a few cousins with endometriosis, and they say it might be genetic. If I do have it it would explain why Creed and I can't seem to get pregnant and why I am in pain, and have horrible periods. I just hope that my doctor can solve this problem. So while I have been down Creed took last Friday off and then took Sarah to his mothers on Saturday. We picked her up on Monday and I have taken care of her in the mornings, thank goodness she loves showers and Playhouse Disney. Creed gets her lunch and puts her down and then when she wakes up Creed is home from work, I love his schedule! The ward has brought meals and I am happy to report that today I am finally feeling a lot better, meaning on a scale of 1-10 I am at a 3.5, which compared to the 7s all week is wonderful. Now I just have to take it easy and not over do it. Anyway, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY to one and all! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Oh I'm so sorry you've been in pain! I hope the doctors find out quickly what the problem is. A few years ago I was tentatively diagnosed with endometriosis for similar symptoms as yours, but then it turned out not to be the case. That kind of pain is the WORST.

It's horrible just not knowing exactly what is wrong. Somehow having a definite diagnosis is comforting because then you can research it and find out what can be done. You will be in my prayers!

You poor girl! When can I watch Sarah? If you want I can come watch them there and help you with whatever you need. Or I can take them over here so you can get some rest! I have been meaning to call you all day but now that I am finally getting around to it, it's almost 10. Sorry! Let me know what I can do to help!
