Blue Happy Living

Remember I said on Tuesday that my day went in a different direction. Well today I got an answer. I got food poisoning last Thursday evening. That should have run its course and been over and out by Monday morning. On Sunday I felt a bit better and thought I was coming out of the funk that this puts you in. On Monday I returned to school but as the day went on I started to realize all was not good. By Tuesday morning down to Medical city to figure things out.

I put a call in to my bariatric doctor thinking something had gone wrong with my sleeve. On Wednesday he started running test on my gall bladder because all signs pointed in that direction. When those test came back my gall bladder seem perfect right now. Over the next few days right up until 5:00 on Thursday they ran every test possible on my trunk area of my body. Everything showed to be in perfect working condition EXCEPT that little tine stone that was in my kidney’s. They ask me are you having back pain? Yep I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think it was important. The look the nurse gave me wasn’t one of love and understanding. Now I wait until it passes.  They say it’s really small so my thoughts were, so I more than likely want feel it.  The nurse smiled and said its the size of a grain of sand but it will feel like a golf ball coming out.  Well that didn’t give me comfort at all.  They drugged me up and send me home.  So here I lay watching HGTV drinking and waiting, waiting and drinking.  And Nothing…………… so far.

If you know me well you know that I hate germs and places that have many of them.  The hospital is no exception at all! I notice things that most wouldn’t even have on there radar.  The first testing place was full of people gagging, coughing and talking really loud.  I’m not sure why people think others in the room want to her their one-sided conversation or both sides if they use the speaker. Really people text away in public but I don’t wanna her how aunt Martha has gas and can’t go poop.  Or the man who felt the need to talk to his girlfriend while he was waiting with a friend.  Oh and I’m glad she got your Viagra filled and you are pissed because your medicare will not pay for it.  After all as you put it, it is a medical issue and they should cover it.  I noticed there was a nasty tissue tucked ever so snug in the edge of my chair, someone put their lead sticky thing on the table after ripping it off and it had a small hair stuck on it.  Please call my name so I can get out of here now.

On the Thursday I found myself a lucky winner with a ticket to the ER.  I checked in doubled over in pain and went to sit down.  They had the waiting room divided into 2 sections Adults and family, I ran for the Adult.  Now before you judge me I love children.  Sitting in a room with children that you know are sick with viruses, flu and whatever else they carry is stupid. So I found the chairs as far away from everyone as possible.  I couldn’t sit there because there was what appeared to be smeared blood on the seat.  At this point I was ready to bolt but the pain kept me there.  After blood work, EKG, exams, CT scans and a few other test I had my results in hand and I was being released.  I couldn’t wait to get home to my bleached home with not other germs but mine around. Greg couldn’t get the truck to the door fast enough.

I hate down time and my routine changed but I’m on the mend and I see the light at the end of this tunnel.  Greg was so sweet to go with and sit all day. I promised you a blog tomorrow because I missed last Friday when all this started.   I’m gonna keep that promise but it will be later in the afternoon.  I hope your weekend is full of Blue Happy memories.
