Just so you know

Ovarian Cysts are the Pits.

Yesterday I went through the absolute worst pain of my life.

Woke up at 5am with the worst stomach cramps ever.

I thought it was just a really bad gas bubble, or food poisoning or something.

But after 4 hours of unrelenting pain I couldn't take it anymore.

My brother drove up and took me to the clinic on campus,

where they did a brief physical exam and decided to send me to the ER.

The nurse at Weber suspected it was my gallbladder.

Made it to the hospital, trying to take deep cleansing breaths through the pain

but by the time I made it to my room and got into my hospital gown the pain was worse

I remember answering questions for the doctor and nurse,

I remember them putting in the IV

but mostly I remember my whole body shaking because i hurt so bad.

And the nurse telling me to not hyperventilate, I wasn't breathing because I hurt so badly.

Once the pain-meds and anti-nausea meds hit my system I was able to focus a bit more.

I made small-talk with the nurse who took me to my ultra-sound.

The ultrasound showed no signs of gallbladder distress, but didn't give any indication as to what was causing my pain.

So they sent me down for a CT-Scan.

I was able to joke with those nurses and survived the weird way the dye they put in my blood made me feel.

after my CT my pain increased a bit, but that was because they had to take out my IV to put in the contrast dye for my CT.

Finally, after my meds were back in my system,

and watching two episodes of CASTLE with my brother and dozing in and out

(my meds made me sleepy)

The doctor came in to tell me it was an ovarian cyst that had burst

and that I could go home.

...

and that was it. 

They prescribed me some Hydrocodone & Extra Strength IBuprofin.

And sent me on my way. 

I got to stay at my moms last night & today to recover.

Doctor's note excused me from working today.

My tummy is still a bit tender, but I feel just fine now

Even though I feel like sleeping constantly still, which i think is just my body repairing itself.

I'll be back in class tomorrow, good as new.

And praying that I never ever ever have to feel that way again.
