andresrortiz's Journal

Well it is a week since the last journal entry, just haven't had time to sit and write at the computer. All of the test came back negative with the exception of the ultrasound. This showed a cause of concern to be discussed with the OB/GYN  doctor which we did the follow up yesterday. It never ceases to amaze me that when the medical professionals don't know something  they can't bring themselves to say I don't know. It instantly becomes, well we didn't find anything so you 're ok and get out, you can go home. But they always forget one major factor.. THE PATIENT IS STILL IN PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Well after insisting that we find the root cause of the pain, which is why I brought Leslie in the hospital to begin with, it was revealed that there are multiple  issues happening. First there is a possible problem with the gallbladder, second problem with a tube in the ovaries.  We were able to get her home on Sunday night from the hospital, and man it felt good to have mama home.

     I must confess I am now run down fighting a cold. going back and forth to the hospital and going to work can push the limits but it had to be done. Taking all my cold med's and extra vitiamin C, drinking alot of tea and soup. Last night I finally was able to get some rest. Still broken sleep( When mama doesn't sleep papa doesn't sleep) but I felt alot more refreshed this morning than I have over the last few days. We were able to see the pain doctor yesterday as well at the last minute which was a blessing. We love this doctor, just can't stand the support staff that he has in one office. We have one more doctor to see this week to discuss the next step with the gallbladder.
