I went to urgent care Sunday night with abdominal pain. Then went to a GI specialist on Tuesday, who sent me to the ER for an ultrasound and to double check that it wasn't my heart. I kept telling the doc that my symptoms really match Billiary Colic and I think he should check that. The ER did all kinds of tests on my heart and despite my persistent asking for an ultrasound, sent me home without one. By this time my GI doc was out of the office, so he couldn't refer me to get an ultrasound. That night I had the worse stomach pain of my life and went back to the ER. They wanted me to pay a second co-pay, but finally did an ultrasound and another Cat scan, but this time of my abdominal area. I had to drink some contrast dye, which I proceeded to throw up. They didn't give me any pain meds for 3 hours. I finally left the hospital at 6AM with the diagnosis of yep you guessed it - Billiary Colic. So now I am on pain meds and have a doc appointment on monday to schedule me to get my gall bladder removed. I am told it was partly caused by my rapid weight loss.
So don't know how long till I can run again. |
