Sick, Sick, Sick....and then it Snow's

Okay... I have been so sick!

Week 1) It started with pulling my back out and having 2 days off due to that.

Week 2) On Tuesday while getting ready for work I got this headache that just would not quit. I took some medicne and thought it should go away in a little bit. I arrived at work feeling much worse and was having problems with my vision. I worked for 2 hours when I just could not function and had to leave work. I called Andy and told him he would need to take me to see the Dr. because I could not drive. I sat in the parking lot and thought I think I can drive, so I drove (safely) to Andy's work and parked in fron of his truck and waited for him. He came and took me to the Dr. and 2 shots later one for each hip (guess she didn't want one hip to feel lonely) ouch! I was sent home to rest. On Wednesday and Thursday I was still having this same problem so I was scheduled to see a Opthamoligist for further testing. I did will thru my test and Andy brought me home and back to bed I went. ( Oh! did I mention that on Wed. I went to bed at 11pm and got up at 2:36pm when the phone rang and told me I had to see the opthamoligist that day. ) Friday morning, I wake up with good vision... Thank God! I still have the headache but it has lightened some. Saturday morning, no headace...Thank God! However I woke up with this stabbing pain on my left side, hmm...toughen up and go to work. Andy was at work so I had no one here to tell about it. Maybe it will just go away!

Week 3) Pain from my left side is still there and dare I say worse. I was not as lucky today...Andy did not have to work and when I bent over to get something from the freezer and the pain was like a knife stabbing me, Andy was you are going to the emergency room...no I will be fine. When he said he was calling the ambulance thats when I said ok I'll go. As we pulled out the drive, Andy said well I must love you here it is Super Bowl Sunday and we are headed for the hospitial. We arrived at the er at 2:14pm and got out at 7ish. They gave me some drugs, took some blood, and a cup-o-pee, I had a ct scan for my abdomin and then they ask how you feeling...hmmm! You drug me up and want to know how I feel, does this make sense. I was released with a pain killer script, with a unknown reason, and orders to follow up with my dr. the next day. Monday Andy takes the day off and takes me in to the dr.s office. She is stummped also. So I was sent home to take the pain killers for 24 hours and then to follow up with her if there is any change whatsoever. Andy took off Tuesday and I slept more than I was awake.

Wednesday morning, the only change is it is not as intense of a pain and Andy was called in to wo to work at 6am. Ice, Sleet, Snow and winds...Good Day to stay inside! I call the dr.s office to get a appointment for a recheck. Ok, bad roads and I am on my way back to the dr.s office. I get there and get to give another cup-o-pee and chest xrays. See the dr. to find I have a slight infection, so I am given some samples of meds and a order for another ct scan for my chest area on Friday.

I follow up with my dr. on Monday!

Thursday morning, Andy had to be at work at 4am today. No change with me other than I am so sick of beign SICK all the time!



Okay...anybody got any suggestions?
