Today is Monday, and late Thursday night I was experiencing the worst abdominal pain(if I din’t already have my appendix removed would’ve said it was that) and violent vomiting. So after hours of the Er poking, prodding, blood samples and internal ultrasound…they THINK I had an ovarian cyst burst sent me on my way with Lortab and that was that.
A few years ago I had similar symptoms and had a cyst the size of a grapefruit removed which left about 2 cells remaining on my right ovary. I have no insurance and they told me to make a gyn appt. Four days have passed, since it was the weekend I could not make any appts. Now I am so bloated and in pain I can’t walk straight and am always tired. I realize things take time, but I need some kind of relief as to when am I going to be able to go back to work. There is no way I can function right now since my job is very physical and fast paced. HELP ME PLEASE!
My friend told me if I had insurance they would not have sent me home! Why am I any differant than any one else ?? That doesn’t seen like that is even a legal thing to do! Aren’t hospital supposed to be not for profit?
I feel so foolish I call my job every day telling them I need more time. I am about to just say I need the rest of the week off(not that I can afford it) ….what else can I do? Can hardly sleep and the Lortab works but I don’t like the way I feel from it! Too much like vicodine. I can walk around the house slowly but only for short periods of time! This Sux!
