Never a dull moment
I was in the emergency room from 10:30pm-4:00am.
At 9pm I started having major pain on my lower right abdomen.
I was literally writhing around and moaning from the pain.
The husband was NOT HAPPY and made me go to the ER.
They think my cyst(which was on the left) grew even larger to the point where it was pushing to the right, and then ruptured.
At 4am, there was talk of me seeing a resident from the OB depertment. I would have waited hours for that to happen and they would have repeated the same tests, so I finally excepted the pain medicine they'd been offering me all night and went home.
I just spoke to my OB's office and I'm waiting for a call back, because I'm sure they will want to do futher poke and proding tests.
I feel better today, less pain, but boy am I TIRED.
Time to get back to bed.....
*Updtae: My doctor confirmed that I have indeed ruptured my gigantic cyst (Who I had named Melvin- I'll miss you Melvin).
AND, I've made a decision- I am never taking off the bandage on my arm from where the IV was. I fear that ripping it off will equal the pain of a brazilian bikini wax, so it is staying put. I will henceforth be referred to as "that chick who has that dirty, disgusting, bandage on her arm." It won't be so bad. I've been called worse.

YIKES. I hope you continue to feel better and, more importantly, I hope that you get some answers and a course of action that will bring you relief!
You have important things to decide about your hair, for crying out loud, you can't be distracted by this PAIN stuff! ;-)

Sweetie, you so need to have a boring day at some point. LOLOL
I sure hope you feel better soon.

Oh :(
I hope you are feeling better soon. My mother has similar problems with cysts and although I've never had it happen to me, I've seen how much pain she's been in, and the tests, the doctors appointments, the bleeding... Sigh. Hang in there.

Ooooh, I *hate* removing IV bandages. The doctor or nurse who can invent one that doesn't make me want to sell my children into slavery just so I won't have to take it off will be a millionaire.
Hope you're feeling better soon, sweet pea!

Just use some lemon juice diluted. Citrus usually cuts through bandage adhesive.
It takes off liquid latex....

Melvin is officially off of my Christmas list.

Poor you. What an ordeal. I hope things are better now.

And here I was whining about a stupid shot...sometimes we find that friends like Melvin really aren't our friends at all. Jose Cuervo also falls into that category.
Rest up and get well soon!!
