Another night in the hospital.

If anyones read my last couple of post than you know I've been having some trouble health wise. One of the problems was my blood pressure. I've been getting dizzy so I went to the doctor. My regular doc was on vacation so I saw his replacement. He said the spins were because of the b.p. & gave me a script he said would help. He didn't know my history nor did he look. The meds he gave me causes constipation, & the more I took the worse it got. It was getting very painfull to go to the bathroom, untill I was completely stopped. This was on Tues. I got some stuff to help me go but it didn't work. When I got up on Wed my stomach was hurting. I took more stuff but it didn't help at all. I was going to go back to the doctors when I got up on Thur but the pain got so bad during the night I took myself into the ER. By now my whole stomach was as hard as a rock. They ran some test & gave me more meds in both ends to help me go. But nothing was happening. They set me up for surgery for Fri morning. The trouble with that was that it would be very high risk for infection. So my stay would have been extended for a week or more.

But just after mid-night I felt something. Then I felt something else. I just made it into the bathroom on time. Thank God for the pain killers I was on. It felt like I passed a cement basketball coated with sandpaper. GOD did it hurt!!!!!   Than with all the meds I had in me to help me go I think I was actually lifted up off the seat like a rocket blasting off. 3 more trips that night & I was ready to go home in the morning. They made me eat breakfast & lunch first to make sure the pain didn't return.

They told me not to take any more of the meds that doctor had given me. The meds themselves cause dizziness so there was no way they could have helped me.

I'm home now, afraid to get to far away from the bathroom but at least I'm home.
