I was in the ER till 2am because of pain and pressure in the uterus area. I also had a low fever and felt like absolute crap. The pain was not a normal cramping type pain. And of course googling just lead me to bad things. So, I went to the ER last night. After a urine test, blood work and a CT scan, it was discovered that my pain is just caused by a big cyst on the right ovary. Seriously?? I just spent 4 hrs in here for a cyst????? I thought for sure it was my appendix and I was going to blow up, or something else serious. I felt like such a moron.
So then this morning I wake up and I'm spotting. Apparently the pain is also cramping. Feeling like a bigger idiot here....
More little tidbit of info. It's day 29. Ok, nevermind. I submitted this, got up and felt a gush. It's day 1. Yippie. I'm really confused now....it came on time??? With no warning?? was my pain seriously just cramping??? I feel like a giant idiot right now.
So anyway, it was like 2-3am till I was fully in bed and calmed down to sleep. Kristopher is going thru some coughing and breathing issues so around 3-3:30 I was woken back up from him coughing like crazy and he got a treatment with his inhaler. More on that another time.
The little kids will be here any minute and I guess its time to stick my head in the snow or something to wake up completely. All I know is I can't function on this little bit of sleep anymore. Just not possible.
Gees, sorry about last night. Going to the ER is always a crappy experience, but on the bright side it would have been worse if it was your appendix or something like that. And it was probably good you went. My mom had an ovary that twisted and swelled to the size of a softball once and had to get it removed and big cysts can increase the risk of twisting an ovary so when you do know that you have one of those you should be a little more cautious about how you move about. But that's all pretty weird and then ending up on CD1 today. Very strange indeed.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more about how people manage a second child. I think parents are probably more open and better about asking for help when #2 comes along. I really didn't want my parents or ILs anywhere around me when I had Michael, but if I had another one I'd probably ask them to come up and help. So you'd be tired still, but it would be a little easier. Plus having the second one I think most parents are just more laid back in general.
