My hell night
I just need to rant about my day yesterday and my night last night and so far this morning.
Yesterday started off good, babysat my grandson, didn't get any rest though because he keeps going and going and going, but it was ok cause I love spending time with him.
Evening came and I did my usual, cook dinner, clean up. I did manage to listen in on the teleconference.
After the teleconference, I got a phone call from a friend saying that another friend was in severe pain on the right side of his back. They asked me to take him to the hospital because he doesn't speak much english and I speak quite a bit of spanish, not perfect by any means but enough to ask questions and give answers.
Around 11pm I left for the ER with him and my son. I figured it would be about 2 hours so I could handle that. Well we got there and they were soooooo busy. We waited in the waiting room for 2 1/2 hours before being called back into a room.
After we got in the room the nurse asked what was going on, so I told her, then she said she was going to IV him and draw some blood. Then proceded to tell me that it was going to be a while before the doctor could see us because it was so busy.
Doc finally showed up around 3 and asked some more questions, tapped on his stomach, and said he thinks it might be appendicitis (spelling) and he wanted to do a cat scan. So now we wait for the cat scan. They finally showed up to take him for the cat scan at 5am.
Then we were told it would be at least an hour for the results because of how busy they were. so we waited once again.
They finally showed up at 7 to tell us that he has kidney stones and prescribed him some medicine. We left the hospital, I took him home and went to my house to pick my mom up cause she had to go to the bank so she could get her meds refilled.
Finally at 11am I am home and ready to fall over. I have not had any sleep since I woke up at 8am yeasterday morning. Needless to say I am exhausted.
I have had new symptoms come up but will not go into detail about those until I get some rest and make sure it isn't just because I am ooberly exhausted.
anyway I am going to bed, not sure if I will be able to make the teleconference tonight because I will probably sleep straight through till morning.
Hope everyone else is having a better day than me.
