My Stay at the Hospital :o
Saturday, June 20, 2009
So Thursday afternoon I was having pain around my belly button. I also had a poor appetite. I was slightly concerned, but I figured I'd wait and see if things got worse.
They did.
I started throwing up around 11 p.m. and had a temperature of 101. I felt weak and the stomach pain was there, though it wasn't horrible. The nausea/puking was worse.
I went to the hospital to make sure my appendix wasn't crapping on me. They did CT scans and everything. They didn't find my appendix because apparently it's harder to see things on someone who doesn't have a decent amount of fat. Lesson? Get fat so you can get a good CT scan! :D
The pain went away, and so did the puking but I've got diarrhea (aren't you glad you know that) and also my period. I'm a little nauseous but my body isn't acting on it...
The hospital peeps held me for about 35 hours! They were worried it might be appendicitis too and wanted to make sure it wasn't.
I now know I don't have appendicitis; maybe it was food poisoning. But I freaked out because vomiting is such a rare thing for me. So is the 101 temp too.
I'm doing a little better except for the poo. And my appetite still sucks. But I'm alive! Wooooo.
