11 pm 9-23-10 From the hospital I post, ugh!!

Shortly after posting this morning I was overcome with a horrible tummy ache. I was at work and I tried a short nap but it did not help. I awoke with an aching gut.  I called Tad and he came to get me right away. After about four hours of misery at home we left for the ER. I was doubled over, in tears from the intense abdominal pains.  I was admitted, given a narcotic for the pain. They took blood and I was treated to an EKG and a CT scan of my abdomen (which was painless.)  Blood tests revealed nothing of concern but the CT scan indicated a slight blockage from scar tissue.

It has been two years since my take down surgery and I have had virtually no problems. However, as sit here in reflection, I am aware I’ve had scar tissue blockage symptoms for a bit now.  The doctors say with time the blockage may open up on its own. I am hoping to get out of here tomorrow. Afterall, I have a full weekend!  I tell myself, think positive and in my sweetest dreams, heal!

It is 3 am and I am awake. Slept too much during the day. Delicously hungry. I am pain free without meds. They wanted to give me something to sleep but I saw no point as I am well and not in need of sleep. So, I write. I am recieving IV maintenance of saline and potassium. T.V. is on. Something about wild moose running amuck in the suburbs of Anchorage, AK.
