Off to the ER I went...

So I had a little scare three weeks ago.  One night I had such an excruciating pain in my lower right abdomen. I was literally on the floor and couldn't move cause of the pain. I was sweating and almost vomited.  Thank God my husband was home to help me. I couldn't sleep cause it felt like labor pain! So I asked my husband to grab a washcloth and soak it in warm water. And it helped to some point so that I could sleep.

But the next morning, I knew I had to go to the urgent care just in case it was appendicitis. My husband had to take off work and brought me to Concord. Then the doctor said he wanted me to go to the ER next door cause it could be serious. 

So I waited in the ER and did a series of tests...the ultrasound didn't show if it was appendicitis or not. So they had to do a CT scan which required me to do a contrast of iodine in my IV. And that's when they diagnosed me with an ovarian cyst rupture! I was like what? Really?

Well first, praise God it wasn't appendicitis or anything else serious. The only person that came to mind was my sister who had the same problem and symptoms in the beginning of the year. Who would have thought it would happen to me? I was totally shocked. But soon found out that it was actually a common thing that women inherited. I felt some what relieved. But still had one cyst left in there so I'm actually gonna follow up with my doc next week with an ultrasound.
