September 25

Yesterday and today were spent on the couch trying to get through the pain. Was taking the meds but they really weren't doing much of anything. My neighbor, Barbara, came down twice a day and was kind enough to take Paxton for his daily walks as there was no way I could. Things got so bad that I called the Drs. office and they said that if my pain was that bad that I needed to go to the emergency room. I called Steve at 4:00 and asked him to come home because we were going to have to go to the hospital. We headed off at around 5:00. When I arrived at the hospital I told them that there was no way I could sit in the waiting room and that I needed a place to lie down. They pointed me toward a couch and a nurse came in and said she would be with me soon. I did actually get through the check in pretty quickly and was very happy to get to a bed. They decided to do a CT scan just to make sure there was nothing else besides the cyst going on. I had to drink 32 ounces of stuff and then wait an hour. At the same time I was taking pain medication. I did have an issue with my stomach and they then had to give me anti nausea meds. I went for the test and while I was there they also injected die into my IV. Results were that there was nothing else going on, YEAH and they changed my pain medication to percocet. They also gave me some anti nausea stuff to take with the percocet. I spent the next couple of days just wanting Tuesday to come so that I could get to surgery.
