Jenn - I m home with most of the guys, poor ds24 had to go to work. 2 colleges for the other 2 ds and dh work closed
Well grab a drink and sit and relax and read my story of..my lovely pre trip to the emergency room before the hurricaine last night.
Oh yeah, yest. I was having so much pain in my L back ribs, hard to breathe and move and then dh and ds20 (my nursing son to be) see my L back is swelling and puffy etc. This is not good. I have been in pain since Thurs. I just about cant take the pain anymore and I can take a lot of it.
So we go to the er. Both the resident and the regular dr. say I have such an "interesting" story. (They are talking about the cancer, near death, stomach surgeries etc). I said, yes I do. I told the dr. to think outside the box with me.
He concludes its either muscle or blood clot. Great. He wants to do a chest ct. I said,hmm, not good with iodine. He says the benefits outweigh the risk and since I dont exercise much I am prime blood clot candidate, oh what fun.
So 9 tubes of blood later, 9 hours later, 3 chest x rays, a ct chest scan with iodine contrast, 2 bags of iv fluids, they conclude...its a muscle injury.
I am happy. He said take some pain meds, which I am not having dh get right now in the hurricaine, and put heat on it. Its still a pain and hurts a lot. The swelling is getting better though.
So now I have in the back of my mind about the iodine etc. I am suppose to get the reclast soon and i just had that blood test on sat. Hmm, I will run this all by the endo when I see her in 2 weeks.
I gotta say those health care people work their butts off at the univ. hosp. here. Wasnt too happy going because of all the past stuff but it turned out ok. PTL!
