Continued Health Updates

September 17th:

Just want to let you all know I'm home from the hospital. More info later

September 19th:

Hi everyone,

Well, I'm back in the hospital. This time I'm in room 508 instead of 504. I had some crazy pain last night that couldn't be controlled, went to the ER and they admitted me. One X-Ray session and an ultrasound later all we have is an old, deflated ovarian cyst on my left ovary. It may have been there from the beginning or it may have been a new one that burst. My gyno is coming to visit me and talk about it tomorrow.

In the meantime, my dad is in town and I plan to drink as much fresh veggie juice as I can get my hands on. Gonna see if I can't get my juicer brought in.

September 23rd:

Hi everyone,
I've been so busy recovering I haven't gotten around to updating you all.

I was admitted back into the hospital Friday night/Saturday morning. I was still having fevers and was having so much pain that it took multiple doses of hydromorphone throughout the night to control it. Sunday morning the pain was doing better and my dad was in town so I wanted OUT! And out I got. I've still been having a lot of pain and tiredness but I can pretty much control it at home, although I'm having to take far more narcotics than I'd like to. Hopefully it's only temporary.

During this second hospital stay I had an ultrasound done that found a deflated, small cyst on my left ovary. The pain may have been it bursting. We don't really know.

The diagnosis from my first hospital stay: a had E. Coli, a UTI and, of course, that obstruction (which is now gone to the best of our knowledge).

Anyway, I'm home!
