Emergency Room

So for the past week I have had an excruciating pain in my lower left abdomen, I kept hoping that it would go away, but it kept getting worse and worse. I called my doctor but couldn't get in until mid-April, so I was still kind of trying to figure out what I was going to do about it. Saturday night, Trev and I were at home, just taking it easy, when suddenly the pain got so much worse. I was immediately on the floor in a ball, writhing in pain. I honestly didn't know what to do, but I knew whatever was going on was bad. Trev was being so sweet trying to figure out what was going on and what we needed to do. After about 5 minutes I told him we needed to go to the ER. We drove up to LDS hospital, which is right by our apartment thank Heavens! I got checked in and they quickly took me back. After drawing my blood, a urine sample, 2 ultrasounds, a pregnancy test and an IV they told me I had an ovarian cyst on my left ovary and it had burst! My left ovary was twice the size as my right one! The doctor wrote me a prescription for Loratab and some other pain meds to help with the pain. I was so grateful to finally figure out what had been causing me so much pain for so many days. I spent all day yesterday drugged and sleeping. I am feeling a lot better, my stomach is just really sore. I have to go back in about 4 weeks to get another ultra-sound to make sure the cyst is gone and that it is not a tumor.

I am so grateful for my husband who was so sweet and patient through it all. That was our first hospital experience together. The ultra-sound tech said it was "journal worthy" Haha!

I hope I never have to go through that ever again.
