Spent Friday night in ER

I couldn't take the pain anymore. I talked to Dr. Barba on Friday afternoon, and he told me to come in to the ER. They wanted to make sure nothing was strangulated. After x-rays,blood work, and a CatScan they determined nothing was, so they gave me stronger pain med and sent me home. Before I got in though, I had to wait 5 hours in the waiting room, not very comfortable. Arrived at the ER at 5:30pm and left at 4:30am. Anyway, I'm not supposed to be doing anything. They said If I over do it, the hernia could get worse and they would have to do surgery on the hernia now. That would postpone my bypass surgery. So, I guess I really have to behave and let my husband take over the "motherly" duties for now. Hope everyone else is doing well. I haven't really had a chance to read all the posts yet. Take care all. Christine

Christine, Although it is difficult to do nothing, it is important! Take it easy and things will start looking up for you soon! Carmen

Christine, I hope the pain subsides soon for you. Try to get as much rest as you can. I know it's easier said and done but remember you need to do this for your health. Eileen

Christine, Think of your goal! Right now, by taking it easy (as difficult as that may be) you are working toward your goal! Good for you! I'll be thinking of you...hoping you are all right and achieve your goal. Ann 100lbs GONE! 15lbs to being under 200 74 to goal
