And I've always thought that Giulianui was evil... Looks like he's the least evil of the Reds. :)

Health revisited

I'm healthy. I had surgery. Everything was awesome. As good as could be. I should have written this this summer, but I'm quite lazy when it comes to this blog thing.

My health...

For those that don't know:
A couple weeks ago last Wednesday I went to volleyball, as I normally do, and when I was pulling into the parking lot I had some stomach pains. Not unheard of, but bad, to say the least. In between games I had another pain. This pain was big enough to cause me to be unable to move momentarily. Now, I've had kidney stones a few times before, so I know pain and this was really painful.

So, after ball I went to the car. I had to pull over twice on the way home because of pain. I stopped by Safeway and bought some milk, thinking, if it's just acid in my stomach I might be able to buffer it with that.

After getting home I drank the milk. Sometime after 11p the pain was coming more and more frequently. It would come about every 10 minutes and last for two minutes or so. The clock radio next to my bed told me that. The pain was intense. When my body has more pain than I can deal with it responds by causing me to expunge my stomach contents. I lost all of the milk. Details withheld on that part. It was instant.

Around 2a I decided that I needed to go to the hospital. I was in enough pain that getting dressed and putting on clothes actually took me 'til 3a. So, I drove myself to the hospital. They took me right in, got me hooked up and took some blood and an IV. They quickly got me on to some pain killers and some anti-nausia medication. They then proceeded to give me a bunch of tests. I was having tests until 9am. I couldn't hold down the baryum solution and they did things that weren't pleasant, but I'll save you from the details.

They told me that they couldn't find the cause of my pain, but that they did find a mass on either my adrenal glad or my kidney.
At 9:30a they were ready to discharge me, so I had my friend's carpool that was on it's way to work take me home. Lots of drugs in my system. Couldn't drive. I went home and slept from 10a until 4a. I needed sleep.

I made an appointment to see my doctor. My primary care provider. He told me there was nothing to worry about. No big rush. He had me have Evergreen send over the results, and told me he'd be going on vacation for a week, but that he'd send me an email. After a week went by, I got impatient and made another appointment.

To Be Continued...
