i am a little late with the weekend update but for a very good reason. before i tell the story of how i ended up in the emergency room on sunday let me say that the christmas party pictures at the hutton’s will be up tonight after i dump my camera.
anyhoo, sunday morning around 6:30 a.m. i woke up with the most god awful, kick your mother in the mouth cramps. after two scaulding hot baths and four advil the pain was still terrible. i felt like i might pass out from pain at anytime. i tried a heating pad and it did not help either. during all of this i was using the bathroom like i had just eaten indian food and vomiting to boot. somewhere around 11:00 a.m. i told kev to take me to st. vincent’s ER. i was promptly hooked up to an IV and given fluids to hydrate me. i was also given phenergran for nausea and demerol for the cramping.
they have no idea what i had but to say the least it was bad. i still feel very weak and tired. everything i eat makes me nauseous.
what a way to start off the holidays.

Ouch! Sounds like appendicitis. Press on your belly and if it hurts more when you let go then you’re gonna have to say goodbye to a perfectly good organ. I have 3 seasons of ER on DVD. So that makes me an expert. Sorry you’re feeling bad. Get well soon. Eat your greens.

Gawd, I’m sorry. That’s terrible. Remind me to send you a case of ginger ale and a nice snuggly blanky. If it makes you feel better, I don’t have an appendix and I haven’t had trouble finding work or love.

Zoinks! That sucks. I can only assume things are better now.
Sounds like a good time to get some reading, movie watching, or video game playing done. Just hang out in bed and enjoy the break. That is if you aren’t in any kind of pain. If you are, take some good drugs and sleep for a few days.
I told you guys that those damn elves get really ornery this time of year. Looks like they have struck again

Wow, hope that you feel better soon! Not a doctor (nor do I play one one on TV, or the internet for that matter) , anything is possible when dealing with the human body…..especially the more complicated female kind ,
take care!!
