3 hours in the ER and a cat scan to prove it - I'm full of s#it. This should come as no surprise to those who know me well - lol!
I can't believe I'm posting this but it was too funny not to share (well it's funny now. I wouldn't have thought so earlier today.) Was having horrible lower abdominal pain for 24 hours - almost went to the ER last night but realized I had some Vicodin and took it instead. Woke up this AM, took a shower and thought I was better but the pain came back. Went back to sleep and got up around noon and decided I better work a half day. By 5PM my boss was telling me to go to the hospital - I even looked like hell because I was getting bloated and you could see it in my face. So off to the ER I went. Pelvic exam showed nothing; blood tests nothing, so off to the cat scan I went. 45 mins later, the PA came in and said, "everything looked normal on your cat scan except for one thing - you have a lot of poop in you." Then the doctor came in and confirmed it - sent me home with a prescription for something that doesn't even need a prescription. It was $3.79 at Walgreens - but I can't wait to see the hospital bill.
So go ahead - I'm ready for the jokes and waiting for the first person to reply, "Hope everything comes out ok!" (Oops - sorry - beat ya to it!)

Gas pains. :roll:
OMG - reminds me of when I had only been married to my first husband for a few days and almost went to the ER with ungodly cramps - but I decided to hit the bathroom and, um, er, well, I ran the water to cover up the noise and the pain subsided quickly.
Suppose I could share another funny story since we're on the subject - was at the Ob/gyn last month and the nurse wanted to know how I lost so much weight. Told her I tried to incorporate at least 30 grams of fiber into my daily diet to which she replied, "You must be quite a windbag!"

Linda, so sorry I'm just now chiming in. Hope you're feeling better real soon. My brain's functioning about like your gut, so I don't have any good one liners...at least that haven't already been used!!!

Don't believe Ida told that

Maybe laughing hard is what I need to do - because so far the medicine is not helping. Oddly enough, I adhere to a very high fiber diet and drink so much water I should float, yet somehow this happened. I think it might be stress related. I've already consumed over 20 grams of fiber today between breakfast and lunch. Oh well. On a bright note, I got to stay home from work today while I'm um...waiting.
Thanks everybody for helping me laugh at my misfortune - misery definitely loves company!
Call them back and ask for a jug of Golitely.
On the other hand, that might be dangerous.

I know I'm among friends. If you can't laugh at your own misfortune....you know what I mean? I don't think anyone found it quite as amusing as the soon to be ex-husband. I'm sure he had a field day sharing the news with his friends and co-workers.

I don't think I want to know. But then again, I'm still waiting on that other stuff the doctor gave me.

I'll see if I can get a copy of the CT scan. Wouldn't that be a lovely souvenir? I think I've still got the MRI of my herniated disc from a couple of years ago.

Let's not get carried away, now...:nono1:

How crappy that must have been for you to go through such a tur-doo at the hospital. Sounds like being a party pooper doesn't sit well with you. Go back to the jello shots.
Hope our favorite hottie feels much better soon. ;-)
I see duty is calling.

If the mention of Burger Thing hasn't done it yet, I don't know what will.

Oh ladies, I am still waiting. But 2 hours of divorce mediation have definitely gotten the tummy rumbling if you know what I mean. I'm sure it will be soon now!

Yes, yes, she should name it too. Perhaps something from Star Wars like Spewbacca (Spewy), Luke Skydumper, C3-PU or R2-Doo-Doo.
