My Field Trip to the Hospital

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

What a fun week this is turning out to be.

I woke up this morning with intense pain in my lower abdomen. So I made an appointment with my doctor for 11am, writhing around in untolerable pain until it's time to go.

I get to the doctor's, where after being told I need x-rays I get up (to change into the gown)and promptly pass out. I am rushed to emergency by the paramedics, where I spend the next 9 hours doing nothing but waiting for...nothing. (Oh yeah, I got 2 tests done that came back "OK") My pain seemed to have vanished mid-way through my visit. (They said it could have been anything from my ovaries to my kidneys-pick a fucking organ, will ya???????)

Finally, at about quarter to eight the doctor sees me and says that I'm discharged. But there is only 1 nurse on the floor and 2 people are waiting ahead of me to leave. At this point I had my jeans on, my IV was still in my arm, so I found the transporter and told her to get someone to take the IV out of my arm and to give me my papers or else I was walking in 15 minutes. I left at 8:01.

Someone had better be getting me a million dollars for Christmas.

Oh April! That's terrible! We were wondering where you were today. I predict that you have used up your quota of bad luck and things should be all good from here on out. In the meantime, you had better get some rest.

Oh my God! Stupid doctors, they never know anything. All that money, and for what? So they can declare everything a virus? Thats what they usually do when they dont know whats going on, duh.

That could have been deadly serious.
Good luck Pop, keep an eye on your health, next time just go straight to emergency.

Look...look what you've done to me...You've made me poor and infamous, and I thank you...

you are having quite the bit of bad luck lately...dont worry better times will come...
they always do

 

[Discoteque]

Oh April, I am SO sorry to hear about this downturn in an already sucky coupla weeks for ya, sheesh. All that pain - you PASSED OUT - and they found NOTHING?

NUH-UH. That's not right.

What about appendicitis?? What else did they check?? Wow...I'd be screaming at somebody till the found something, I think. But that's just me. I can bitch up a storm when I want to.

Stupid doctors...hey, remember to MARK THE SPOT with indelible ink, right??

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Kelli,

They said appendicitis, but then that was ruled out when I didn't have any pain in my side or back...the only thing they really said was that if I had a kidney stone that it must have passed. I was unbelievably pissed, believe me.

I have a smidgen of pain in my lower stomach now, but other than that I feel LOADS better. I'm drinking plenty of fluids and going to hit the hay early tonight for rest. Tomorrow I'm goin' to Bowling Green!

Awwwwwww, sweetie, I KNOW that this isn't a laughin' matter, but that kinda mde me laugh...*lol*...so true, so true...

I've had problems with unexplained fainting, and the doctors never found anything wrong. They NEVER find anything wrong with me for anything...*sigh*

No offense to any Interference docs out there, but I don't particularly care for doctors (at least not the ones I've dealt with).

Glad to hear you're feeling better!

Doctors don't know anything...I went to the hospital three weeks ago with some strange rash on my hands...all they said was "Oh, we've never seen that before. We'll take a biopsy" and left me with that...blarg!

 

[Bonochick]

Here's one of my bad hospital stories...

I took my mother to the ER last summer. When we got into the examination room, the nurse was making it so that she'd only have to stick a needle in my mom once to draw blood and insert the IV. Ah...butterfingers though, the nurse dropped one of the things, and my mom's blood started pouring out all over the floor! "Oops!" she said...

Yeah...I'll "oops" you!

[SicilianGoddess]

Damn girl!!! ((((((((( HUGS )))))))))

I hate doctors

They dont know jack shit.

Get plenty of rest girl, I can take your place of whoring if you like.

Larry will be pissed if you dont feel better!

That sounded horrible! It's good to hear you're ok.

We have a saying in my country which probably fits the situation: "the devil always s--ts in piles". (it's never just one thing that goes wrong, it's always got to be more than one) First you lost your job, and now this.

Here's my hospital mystery:
like Katherine (Bonochick), i have passed out a couple of times in my lifetime. (about 5 times)
Mostly it was fairly normal (reaction to a vaccine, heat and low quantities of air in the space, too much heat in the open), but there was this one time when i was drinking water at lunch in kitchen, and i choked on it - it hurt a little in my chest, everything went black.
The next thing i know, i'm lying on the floor of the living room, with Mom and Dad's faces above me. They said i had a really low pulse while i was "out" (only for a minute or so). Slowly i felt better, and later i went to doctors and made EEG and EKG and some other tests, which all turned out ok.
The docs said this kind of passing out is harmless, it can happen to anyone, and it has no medical consequences whatsoever.

I passed out once while giving blood....

 

[DrTeeth]

Glad you're okay honey!!

I once passed out and apparantly tried to bite a piece out of the bathroom floor because when I came to I had a hole in my chin and I lost my front tooth. I was DrTeeth no more for a few days until the nice dentist clayed another one for me and the doctor sew up my chinny-chin-chin.

Awww...what an ordeal, sweetie! I'm glad it was all better though!

I am feeling so much better today...I can't even begin to tell you all. Thanks for everything! ((((hugs))))

Sorry to hear about your burden. I'd bet it was from being Sicy's evil handmaiden that made you sick.

Enjoy your show and I hope you get that guy or $$$$$$$$ or get yourself a puppy (me)!

Maybe we could have Calluna get you a mushroom.

Last night was fun! I think Stereophonics helped our little popwhore to feel a bit better (plus my exceptional company as well! lol).

Just kidding, I'm a freak, just ask her...
