Went in for CT scan and lab work as scheduled. While I’m in the lab, my doctor gets the scan results and is blowing up my phone. Tells me to immediately go to E.R. So, I walk myself down there and check in. First doctor comes in to see me and is surprised I look so good. Says I should show more symptoms considering what they found in the CT. I was in pain, but I wasn’t sure I was having an emergency.
Turns out there is a lesion In my lower intestinal wall and some leakage of gas and possibly more. He was certain I would need some kind of surgery. Of course they take the conservative approach and iv massive doses of antibiotics for two days and as a result, my lab work turned around and as a result I was healing up just fine. Oh yeah, got the Dilaudid too.
Walked out of there with more antibiotics and no pain meds. Didn’t really need them after that. Should heal up just fine. Still feels like I’m carrying a football in my gut but it’s getting better.
I’ve been in excruciating pain in the lower quadrant going on three days now. Going in for CT scan in the AM. That’s what they think, is might be. I can hardly move. Feels like someone repeatedly side kicked me in the gut.
