It's official

3 hours in the ER and a cat scan to prove it - I'm full of s#it. This should come as no surprise to those who know me well - lol!

I can't believe I'm posting this but it was too funny not to share (well it's funny now. I wouldn't have thought so earlier today.) Was having horrible lower abdominal pain for 24 hours - almost went to the ER last night but realized I had some Vicodin and took it instead. Woke up this AM, took a shower and thought I was better but the pain came back. Went back to sleep and got up around noon and decided I better work a half day. By 5PM my boss was telling me to go to the hospital - I even looked like hell because I was getting bloated and you could see it in my face. So off to the ER I went. Pelvic exam showed nothing; blood tests nothing, so off to the cat scan I went. 45 mins later, the PA came in and said, "everything looked normal on your cat scan except for one thing - you have a lot of poop in you." Then the doctor came in and confirmed it - sent me home with a prescription for something that doesn't even need a prescription. It was $3.79 at Walgreens - but I can't wait to see the hospital bill.

So go ahead - I'm ready for the jokes and waiting for the first person to reply, "Hope everything comes out ok!" (Oops - sorry - beat ya to it!)

Sorry, LBH, stomach pains are no laughing matter. It's probably your system slowing down since you stopped drinking. You know wine is good for the gut. ;-)

NO KIDDING, that's some serious sh*t! Seriously though, you could have had some intestinal blockage or even crimping. Probably a good thing you went to the doctor, but it sounds like you may need to make a trip to "For the Health of It" and let them recommend a good cleansing.
The average person is carrying around about 15 extra pounds of fecal matter that collects in the system if not occassionally flushed out.
I know this from experience. People have been telling me for years I'm full of sh*t.
Go talk to them, they'll fix you right up.
I mean, short of taking a garden hose and....

Take (better) care,
K

and thanks for sharing....:roll:

...did your eyes turn brown? Oh lbh, that must have painful! Glad you are better.

Wow, I'm glad you're okay. Things can get tricky in the gut.
And I am also glad you posted: "I'm full of sh*t" is too good a line to pass up.;-)

Well, I bet you were a little embarrassed but also glad you found out what was wrong. I've read the same thing that Drunkinartist said. Also, I've always read that our upper/lower bowel system is one of the more important organ functions in our bods. If that goes awry, then all hell breaks loose with the rest of the organs.

Just be sure to drink lots more water, regularly. Nature's laxative. ;-)

I do pray that everything comes out "nicely" for you!!!

Bless your heart. And your bowels. Seriously.

Like the children's book of the same name says, "Everybody Poops." :roll:

Hope you feel much better soon!

 

[Mango]

How crappy that must have been for you to go through such a tur-doo at the hospital. Sounds like being a party pooper doesn't sit well with you. Go back to the jello shots.


Hope our favorite hottie feels much better soon. ;-)

Thank goodness that a smilie for this situation does not exist within my grasp.

Feel better soon LBH!!
