October 27, 2009 - Hospital Heroin

Exciting weekend! Good and bad. The good was that we had a successful pumpkin party!  (Pumpkin makers in order from left to right: Case, Dylan, Julia, me, Kyle, Rob)

So everyone left by midnight. Then right as I was ready to go to bed, my stomach started hurting. And it was hurting above my bellybutton which isn’t where tummy aches usually happen to me. I figured it would go away on it’s own, but two hours later I was lying in bed screaming and crying in pain. So Rob eventually coerced me into the car to go to the E.R. I’m glad I went, because it took two shots of morphine and a shot of Dilaudid to eventually make the pain stop. I got lots of fun tests, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with me. So I was sent home, and luckily it hasn’t returned. Here are some photos I took with my phone after all the pain meds finally kicked in. Yes, I was twittering from my hospital bed. But to be fair, Rob was too.

So thank you to everyone who sent me well-wishes. I am feeling much better, so I think it was just a weird, one-time malady. I slept a lot on doctor’s orders, so today it’s back to work! <3
