If Love Was Enough

Last night was pretty awful. I only slept for two hours and then woke up sick as a dog. I wasn't peeing that much and I bloated out really badly-- worse than it's been before :(

I couldn't eat breakfast when I woke up. I am so nauseous and it also hurts to put anything into my stomach :(  I've been nauseous all day

2:00 pm - start having trouble breathing, feels like someone is sitting on my chest. Call my nurse & she says to go to the hospital. We decide to go to Anne Arundel Medical Center, where they might have a clue what they're dealing with.

3:45 - ER has a short wait before taking me back to triage. It is so uncomfortable to be reclined on those little stretcher beds! The ER physicians assistant has NO clue what I've got-- talks about doing x-rays and pelvic exams. Luckily Dr. K called ahead to explain my condition but this guy wants to talk with Dr. K and can't get a hold of him, so we wait around. Finally they decide to take back to the "real" ER area. I throw up immediately after having my blood drawn.

Evening -- more comfortable in bigger ER bed. Matt goes to get Wendy's for dinner (apparently with OHSS high protein high sodium foods are good). While he does that, I am taken to radiology to have an ultrasound done. The ride there is awful, like a thrill ride, I feel so sick. The ultrasound tech has no idea what I have and it HURTS so badly. When I get back Matt is there: I have one bite of fries and the burger before I want to throw up. I am so nauseous and can't eat a thing :(

The OB doc on call comes down to check on me and luckily he knows what he's talking about! Dr. Nance, I think. He gets me an IV (5 hours after getting there!), Zofran for nausea, Morphine for pain, and a foley catheter for... ugh you know.

I was admitted for the night and once they moved me to a real room, the "real" hospital bed was a dream compared to the others! So soft! And I could recline myself with the little buttons! I still couldn't really eat. I managed 4 crackers at midnight and some around 6 in the morning. I got to sleep about 6 hours throughout the night which was more than the previous two nights combined!!!
