I was admitted last night for an ovarian cyst rupture and suspected appendicitis. I really didn't sleep despite the heavy drugs because my body is in revolt and hates me. I itch all over from the drugs and benadryl is doing nothing.
Also they're treating me as definitely going to surgery (not unreasonable, although I've not even met the surgeon) but no idea what time. I haven't had anything to drink since about 7p yesterday, and I'm not even allowed ice.
Oh no, that's awful. Hopefully surgery will be early, and go smoothly. It sucks having to wait around for that sort of thing.
I'm starting on a very restrictive diet today in order to start figuring out if there's a new specific food or two that's causing my migraines. I've been getting more of them recently, and I need to figure out what's going on. I'll add things in slowly, but I'm not looking forward to this week. No fun foods for me. I've cut out the usual suspects, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere, so now it's time to examine the other random foods.

To top it off, no shampoo available.
So, how's your first day of the week going?
Look forward to loopy posts from me.
Oh no. I hope you get relief soon. Had 2 ruptured cysts in the past and they are awful. Appendicitis too!? (I know possible... Still...) I am pretty sure you are steelballssushi right? Remember that. Steel invisible balls. You've got this! (And also Internet hugs of comfort coming to ya).
I'm sorry, hope you feel better soon and everything gets straightened out for you!
DH couldn't sleep last night. He told me he wasn't tired when we went to bed so I suggested he go to the guest room. Nope. Instead he would fall asleep for a while and then dramatically flip around trying to get comfortable again when something woke him up. So of course this woke me up approximately 6,000 times. My head hurts and I'm tired and mad.
sushi - well that just sucks. If you do need surgery I hope they take you early today so you can start feeling better. If there is anything I can do let me know.
Is anyone else's default life their husband's, or is it just me? I'm all up in my feelings today, largely due I think to my introvert tendencies. We're on day 3 at SIL's and it's starting to get to me. My H may be currently upset because I used the word "suffering" today to describe my being here. Introvers unite!
No, what I meant by "default" life, I mean is anyone else living in close proximity to their spouse's culture/family/etc and away from theirs? When I ask DD about her family, in her mind it's our nuclear family and my in-laws. My family is an afterthought, if I'm lucky. And I totally get it because she has little to do with my family and they aren't nearly as functional as my H's family, but it still bugs. Yesterday we were talking about how expensive it is to go to the States every 2 years and SIL's husband was all, "why do you have to go?" and I wanted to punch him in the face
This place is such a shitshow. I have not not even met my doc who's supposed to you know, observe. That's why I'm here. To see if I need surgery.
I'm told I can meet him and ask questions in preop. Or I can call.
No ma'am
What doctor doesn't fucking round on new admits first thing? What kind of nurse not only defends it but treats us like idiots for actually wanting to meet the guy maybe cutting me open and to have him actually make an assessment
sushi, I hope they figure out something soon and give you some food/water. If not, I'd be sneaking some soon.
summer, I'm not, but I completely understand. We're near no family so DS doesn't really know them. It makes me sad.
My headache started at 7:20 this morning when I was going through what I needed to cover with my manager this morning and remembered the potentially nasty problem discovered at the end of last week. On the bright side, I didn't think about it all weekend.

Hope you're feeling better soon! <3
I just got back from vacation in New England. It was absolutely lovely there! Here's a picture of me drunk on the beach at night in front of Taylor Swift's house:

My anxiety is through the roof. I'm a wreck. I've always had mild anxiety but I've been able to control it without drugs. I think I'm well past that point now. Its all consuming.
However, with a recent insurance change, I need a new therapist. And all the ones that have been recommended to me (that are accepting new patients) have really long waiting periods...like 2-3 months before they can get me in.
So I'm going to my family practitioner today and crying, begging, for something. I can't continue like this.

irishbride2 I hope your care provider is able to be open and helpful and give you something to ease the anxiety. Don't feel ashamed for asking for medication; it's a vital part of treatment in a lot of cases and you deserve to be well.

^o) for your BIL. That's some shit. And yes, my family is between 2 and 5 hours away (sister is 2, mom is 2-3, brother is 4-5) and that happens to us. I can't imagine if we were across an ocean.
I was going to whine about how hot my office is (82 degrees when I walked in this morning) but now that feels petty.
sushi and irishbride2 I have my fingers crossed for good medical professional interactions moving forward.
Oh, Irish. I hope you get the help you need. Going on a specific anti anxiety med instead of just my snri made a huge docent. I had thought I was fairly well controlled before, but I didn't know how not good my "normal" was

I hope you're doing better soon, sushi!
I couldn't find my glasses this morning. Seriously. How the fuck does one lose glasses between breakfast and showering? At least I found an old pair so I can function.
