Sympathy Pains

So this past Tuesday I (yes Jeff is actually writing a post) started to have a pain in my abdomen. I was a little worried about it as I haven't experience any pain that I would say is like it. I was thinking it might be appendicitis or something similar even though there weren't any other symptoms to go along with it.

So I called the doctor to set up an appointment. I went in that afternoon and they told me that since it is on the lower left side, there really isn't any organs there that I needed to worry about. The appendix and gallbladder are both on the right. They said the only thing that is there is the intestines and since the only symptom was pain that we should wait a couple of days and come back in if it got worse or I got nauseous or something like that.

So the pain got worse on Wednesday and even worse on Thursday. So Thursday I went back in to the doctor and they drew blood and scheduled a CT for today. The CT was scheduled for 7 am this morning which meant I had the pleasure of waking up at 5 to start drinking the wonderful tasting barium. That said, I still think I got more sleep than Elizabeth last night.

I got done with the scan and now I just get to wait for the results of the blood tests and the scan. I have been taking it pretty easy since Friday and overall feel quite a bit better. There is still pain and especially when I either get up, sit down, or walk. Until I get told otherwise I am just going to assume it must be sympathy pains for the pain that Biz has been having. If you want anymore details on that just look down a couple of posts.
