LooonnggFriday

First off, I apologize for spelling errors andmade up words. I'm exhausted.

So yesterday was.....long. I'm not sure there is any other word for it. Draining, pointless, you get the point. I've been having some severe upper epigastric/chest pains for about 2 months now. It started again about 1:30 early Friday morning. It hurts. Bad. It hurts to sit, lay down, stand. haha! Usually, it only lasts a hour to two hours. I think I set a record for 15 hours this time. It was terrible. I called Dr. B's office at 8 and was told to go to Labor & Delivery to get evaluated. Then, was told to go the the ER. Whoo-hoo.

We had been in the ER for this about 3 weeks ago and got all the tests done. Nothing was wrong that they could find. I had my gallbladder ultrasound-ed(Is that a word? ) and it came back normal. I knew the ER could do nothing. BUT Dr. B told me to stay.

So, long story short, after sitting in the waiting room with Wichita's finest meth heads and homeless people for 4 LONG hours, I was told. "Oh, you have heartburn". Ok, he called it something else but thats pretty much what it was.  I was given some Maalox with some pain stuff mixed in. Now, anyone who really knows me, knows that the very thought of Tums, etc make me yak. The nurse hands me this cup of liquid Tums. Ummmm. My mom starts laughing and Jake immediately asks for a trash can. Thanks guys. =]

A favorite, classic movie of mine is Wayne's World. Lame, I know. But the nurse gives me this long plastic bag with a cardboard funnel looking thing at the top. Me, going on about an hour of sleep in the last 24 hours, busts out with "If you spew, spew in this!" haha! The nurse shook her head and I think I embaressed Jake. =] I took a picture with it, but I'm not posting it because A: I look like poo and B: It's on my phone and I'm not 100% sure how to get that on here. haha!

Yesterday could have been a LOT worse. Jake's Lt. and Sgt. are incredible for letting him leave for 3/4s of the day with no notice. I'm SO thankful they understand.  It's taken a lot a stress off of me, knowing that if I go into labor while he's at work, he can leave. My wonderful mother sat with us ALL day and Jake's dad sat with us for a lot of it. It's nice to have support during the crazyness.

Well, I'm supposed to be doing dishes, but I think I'm about to go shopping with mom. =] 

9 more days at the most!! =]
