Results and ER visit
I had a colonoscopy yesterday and it caused a small hernia in my intestines. I was up at 5am, then went for the colonoscopy. Everything looked good, so they sent me home. I took a nap, and when I woke up I was in pain in my lower abdomen. I called the nurse and the doctor and they both told me to go to the ER, so off I went to the ER by myself. Geo was in a horrible mood and didn't want to even talk to me since he had to wait 3 hours for my colonoscopy. They diagnosed the hernia (small, no surgery needed) and a urinary tract infection. I need to take antibiotics for that. I didn't get home until 4:30 am... I took the bus to a close safe spot (the gym I go to, 24 hour fitness) and got a taxi home. I just woke up a couple of hours ago. I want to go to my support group tomorrow so I need to start packing my coffee bag. I'm still in pain, but I just have to grin and bear it.

How awful. : ( I\'m sorry this happened, and that you\'re in pain. I hope that you heal and feel better soon! Hugs, Judy
awful turn of events!! luckily no surgery is needed. I am sorry you had to go alone. did they say that you had the hernia and uti all along? hugsssss
So glad it was not as bad as it could have been and you got a good report on the colonoscopy. But this means that they do not know what your orginal health issue is...correct?
I have to see a doctor for the final diagnosis but they said it was clean
Hugs, my friend and have a nice long sleep. Glad that all is well.
i\'d stay home after all that and just REST. sleep is just an important thing, or if you have a terrace, sleep outdoors a bit, the salt and sunshine heal everything.
hope you get better soon. very brave using public trans at 4:30 a.m. bet you were exhausted! xxoo
er rooms are always an ordeal. just back from one myself for dam dog bite.
sleep well.
Sorry you had to end up at the E.R. Glad it\'s not serious. Keep me updated on how you are doing.
