Beaumont

So...I spent two days in the hospital...yeah...
I suddenly found myself in the emergency room early morning on thursday with a fever, with a poked right arm and attached to I.V. and on a very uncomfortable bed and it took the entire day for doctors to figure out what I had.
First, it was my ovary, poor left ovary, but after useless exams and a very painful ultra sound, my ovaries are fine.
So then, the doctor insisted that I had early appendicitis, by the way that doctor graduated from U of M and he was clueless, by white blood cell count was really high, by this time it was already 7 pm and I hadn't eaten anything and he insisted that I had cronic abdonimal pain, which I really didn't, so he wouldn't let me eat. So I had a cat scan done, that was fun, except for the solution they make you drink but then they inject iodine and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and its fun, So I obviously was not going home and I was given a room in observation, with tv and all, very private all the hospital staff acted like it was a big deal. I really wanted to go home though, like all the pain, the fever, even the need to sleep was gone, I felt fine, but noooo my catscan showed that I had severe intestinal inflamation...colitis (that word makes me laugh, I think it's really funny) and so I had to be checked into the hosptial. They sent me to pediatrics because after all I'm only 19 (that's what the nurse said) It was really fun though, the bed was incredibly comfortable and it adjusts according to your body and all, its so much fun! and the hallway had these huuuge colored dots and the walls were all different colors, I faced a lime green and blue wall, so that made me happy, it comforted me because I did feel a little scared, I didn't know how severe it was. And you get your own individual t.v. and nurses come in and check your blood pressure and temperature like every hour. So I was able to sleep and all the next day I had to have blood drawn again, I was given ridiculous amounts of potassium, who knew we have a limit for how low our potassium can be... and potassium really really hurts so I was given a pain killer, which put me to sleep for like 2 hours, I think it's really funny how you can feel in seconds what you are being injected and you react to it right away, like I immediatly passed out. I was also injected antibiotics and more I.V. but no food. The food lady kept on coming in to the room with food trays for my mom and she'd yell, not for you for your mom and everytime I was woken up from my sleep it was because of her, I still like her though. I also had another test done for which I had to be given and anesthetic, all I remember from that is the white milky looking stuff going into the I.V. tube...like the first ml, and then waking up to the doctor saying it was nothing too serious that I had to eat all fluids and mashed potatoes, when I proceeded to yell, I love mashed potatoes! and then mumbled and fell asleep again, and then they finally fed me at like 7 at night, the yummiest chicken noodle soup i've ever had, (it probably wasnt that good, i was just really really hungry) and then I was released at midnight and wheeled out. I can walk a little, can't really do much yet, I feel dizzy and tired and like I have no energy but I thank God that it wasn't anything too severe.
It really wasn't that bad, except for the emergency room, which, emergency rooms really have to be improved and need more personel, I kept getting mad at the old ppl because they all got to leave and I didn't and I didn't get to shower for two full days, and I hadn't showered the day before soo my shower today was pure glory, I kept on getting poked for my blood because my of my low potassium and low blood sugar and I didn't get a big balloon.
All the nurses were really really nice and sweet and made me feel safe and looked after and of course my awesome mom who was there with me!
Now I just have to get my energy back and I was supposed to move in to school today, but as soon as I feel ok, I'll be able to go, yay!!!
