Living the life

Hiiiii everyone :)) I'm baaaack in the hospital. Shocked? Yea, me neither. The last couple of weeks have been really hard and very painful. Mom took me to the ER on Sunday and they ran test, blood work, cultures, and X-rays and everything appeared normal-esque so they gave me pain meds and sent me on my way. On Monday I was feeling so crummy and my mom was insisting she take me back to the ER but I have a huge dr appt in San Diego to start a drug trial and I didn't want to get admitted into the hospital and, in turn, miss that appt at UCSD. She said I could try and get the pain under control while she went to get her hair cut but she really thought I needed to go. I went into the back of the house to change but became extremely dizzy so I walked into Kristin's room to ask her to take me to the er. As soon as I stood up my chest was heavy and I knew I was about to pass out. I walked to her room and told her to call 9-1-1 and then hit the floor. I came to in the ambulance and ladies listen up: If you're ever in a sports bra and sweats if you're going to wake up in an unfamiliar place you want it to be surrounded by 2 handsome firemen paramedics!
Needless to say mom was right... go freaking figure. Downside to the ambulance was having them hold a huge light above my eyes so I wouldn't go back to sleep. Upside to the ambulance I didn't have to wait out in little Mexico for hours to get a room.
Seeing as how it's day two I'm bored out of my mind. I was transferred to the new side of the hospital :)) partially because my roommate had an open wound that had ecoli in it. Yummy, right? With my bad immune system and even worse attitude I can't be around that 😷. Anyways, I'm getting a procedure done around 4 today and I'm PRAYING I'm just in a flare and there isn't liquid/blood build up or a leak. I look about 5 months pregnant (yes, I notified the father. Blair was hesitant at first but she's on board now 😉😍😘)
I will try and keep everyone posted and I am receiving all your texts but I keep my phone on silent with the hopes I can get an hour nap in sometime today. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and if you're feeling down just remember you aren't infested with ecoli!!!

Oh PS for those of you who know my little sissy this will not come as a shock to you but for normal people... well just keep reading. When I woke up in the ambulance they asked the normal questions and after a couple of minutes we were joking around and laughing and one of the paramedics asked "what med school is your sister in?" For whatever reason, whether questions she was asking or just talking about stuff she's learned in classes they thought she was in MED SCHOOL! I laughed and said she's going to nursing school but she still finishing her prerequisites!!! Doogie Doogie Doogie you never seem to amaze me. Hi Brian! Hi mama and daddy! Love you guys! Oh and bring me juicy fruit and big red. I'm in the hospital so you have to be nice to me 😊

Im Back!

Hi everyone!!!! Here is a quick update on everything that is happening in the wonderful world of MY crohns! Bon appetit!

Emergency Room-Zoom

I know precisely what you're thinking..."that is an extremely lame post title." I would be lying if I said I didn't agree but today was the easiest and shortest wait time to get a room. From the second we stepped into the emergency room it took about 7 minutes. Usually there are screaming babies running around, parents yelling elders continually asking when they will be called back. For entertainment we play "who has health insurance" but it's not racist because we always find a few white people!!
Anyways, as soon as I was called back the poking began. The first guy was so bland but the next two girls are a different story. Jenn tried but my veins kept bouncing back, but she was very gentle. When she Couldn't get it she asked Christ to come help. They are a dynamic duo (as shown in the picture below!) they misses but the duo's second poke was a success!
It's a miracle that it only took 4 pokes and I will request Jen and Christa to be my nurses :)
Now I'm done rambling, I am getting tired from all the medications! Moral of this blog is go to the ER earlier in the day because there are far less people that need caring for.
I hope all of you have a wonderful rest of your day!!
