Well, that was scary!

Thursday night just after DH left to go back to work I was getting dinner ready (BBQ'ing in the backyard) when all of a sudden I got the most excruciating pain in my right side. I could hardly stand, I couldn't catch my breath for a minute and was doubled over in pain. I waited a few minutes to see if it would pass...it didn't. I called DH in a panic. He called him Mom who was teaching a lesson in her piano room downstairs. She came running up, had her student stay with J&L for a few minutes and took me to the hospital. The pain was unreal and the severe pain lasted about an hour. I got seen immediately at emerg. DH arrived within the hour and we were both scared and worried. They did a full work up incl bloodwork, x-rays and a pelvic exam. Lying down helped a lot and while I was there I started feeling better and the pain lessened substantially.

The only thing they could find was that my c.olon was quite full. Turns out I was just having bad c.onstipation pains - how embarassing. The Dr said, better to be embarassed than die from a ruptured appendix, which is what he thought it might be...

I think the new prenatals (cheaper) I bought last week caused it b/c I just started taking them recently...I think they have a lot more iron in them that the other ones I was taking. I stopped taking them Friday and have increasingly been feeling better and better. I still have some cramping but nothing scary now.

Scares like that sure put things in perspective. The whole time I was in the hospital I just wanted to go home and have dinner with my kids and tuck them in their beds. It made me appreciate even more how lucky I am to be healthy.

I'm so glad it wasn't anything "serious". Very scary indeed!
