Really bad day
Oct. 2nd, 2013 06:14 pmSo... on the 19th my stomach started hurting and it hasn't really stopped hurting since then. The hurt has changed. It's backed off and come back stronger or moved to a different part. Sometimes it's one kind of hurt and sometimes another. Mostly it just feels sore like someone has kicked me in the naval or on both sides of my body when I wasn't looking. I suspect someone's sneaking into my house at night and kicking me in the stomach at this point.
I saw a GI on Monday. I went to two wrong offices and one wrong building before I found the right place. She ordered a bunch of tests. I went to find one of the labs where they do the tests today and wound up at one that doesn't actually do the tests, even though the website says it does. The nice woman there told me where to go (an extra 20 minutes away... did I mention I only get 30 minutes for lunch?). I went there and couldn't find the place and had to freakin call and find out where they were (apparently, the medical building is hiding behind a motel that's being built. Ah. Why didn't I think to drive around a motel parking lot to find the medical complex? Signs REALLY would have been helpful). Anyway, I left the office at 11:15 and made it back to the office with 4 minutes before my 1pm meeting, but I was in a busy waiting room and freaking out that I'd be late. I nearly bailed a bunch of times but finally managed to get seen in just the nick of time. There were SIX pages of test orders. Half were blood tests, so the guy drew a ton of blood. The rest are... much worse tests I'll have to do at home. Am NOT sure how I'm going to get them done, what with the annual board meeting at work starting tomorrow. Oh joy. Which means it might be another week at least until I can start the tests, which delays me getting results. So this is something I'm going to have to live with for another month at least, apparently. And, based on the tests, we decide whether I need an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. At this point, I kind of want to just skip the tests and just have the damn procedures LOL
I dunno. It's been a bad couple weeks at work. And not really made any better by the fact that I'm miserable and hurty all the fucking time right now. And I broke down over Max again last night. I'm just a mess right now. And because it's not getting any better, I just have to carry on with work and other obligations as if it's all normal. So frustrating. Am looking forward to trying to not double over in pain during the board meeting! Woot! Can't wait to sit through 2 dinners that will be at a MINIMUM 3 hours long each where I'm unable to eat anything. Great fun!
Anyone got some happy recs to share? I could use something to smile at.
