What Not To Do During A Pandemic.
I have built a HUGE fear of hospitals during Covid ,,like I just could absolutely NOT go there.
After a few months of abdominal pain I finally got my butt out the door and down to the Hospital.
Now I have had 3 c sections, appendix burst ,, abdominal adhesions but nothing comes close to this.
A week or so ago my Family Dr. found a nasty bacterial infection in the urine. She started treat with antibiotics for 7 days ,
one day after finishing the antibiotics the pain came back ten fold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Can you say labor like pains).
So after spending the past night/day in the Emergency Dept. and having a special
Premedication for contrast dye allergy
I had a CT scan which shows that I have Diverticulitis.
They gave me a shot of antibiotics into my IV and I start a regimen of 10 days treatment with antibiotics tomorrow.
I'll need to follow up with my family doctor.
So it's all about rest, hydration (apparently I am dehydrated) , and gentle foods this weekend.
So my advice: Do not be a big baby Mel and go to the hospital when needed.
P.S.
It's 3:30 am and the contrast dye is causing my hands to swell and hives are appearing (I just removed my rings),,,drinking a ton of water and taking Reactine and praying it goes away soon,
Have a restful and peaceful weekend everyone!
Gentle healing Hugs
