I spent Friday night in the ER. I had blood work, and EKG, a chest X-ray, an ultrasound of my abdomen and a CT scan. Did the docs figure out why I have pain in my left abdomen? NO. Apparently it's "nothing life threatening" because they can't figure out what is causing the problem.
I thought it might be my spleen, since my WBC has been down and the spleen can enlarge with Lyme and Babesia... but that was apparently ok.
They decided I have a virus. Isn't that just the answer they give when they don't know what else to say?
I had sharp shooting pain on Friday. I even felt it through the morphine they gave me. It's not Tuesday. It's the first day I've had enough energy to sit up for more than 5 minutes. I still have pain in my left side, it now goes from my shoulder to my pelvis... only on the left side. The good news is I don't need to take the vicoden they sent me home with, I just try to ignore it (since it's probably all in my head anyway).
My doc was supposed to call me to check on me... hasn't happened yet. Am I surprised? No. Such is the "greatest health care in the world".
Oh well, at least I had a forced vacation for a few days. I was so out of it I don't even remember the weekend.
