Dec. 27th, 2009 08:39 pmI've been in a massive amount of pain over the last two days. Yesterday I nearly talked myself into going to A+E, with the screaming and the crying and the nearly passing out and the not being able to walk and having to sleep sitting upright. Difference between me and mum, her the nurse who looks for abnormal, me the midwife who looks for normal: I fobbed it off as wind or something that didn't agree with me, she's thinking appendicitis or diverticulitis. That said, I was a bit worried it might have been appendicitis, seeing as it was in exactly the right spot and I was guarding so much I couldn't palpate to see if there was any rebound pain.
Pain decreasing gradually and was able to keep down today's dinner (where dinner is a bit of mash and a mouthful of ham.) Hadn't eaten in 48 hours without everything, including water, coming right back up again. Horrible way to spend Christmas holidays, but hopefully that's the worst of it over. Haven't even been missing non-family human contact, despite it being over a week with another week to go. Just wanna curl up and sleep. So I think I'll do that now.
Edit: Taking it back about keeping down dinner. Wah.
Edit edit: Am an eejit. Yet another UTI. Now where the hell is my referral for a renal scan?
