Sunday in the ER :-(

Saturday night Jeremy met me at work and told me that he wasn't making dinner because Winter said she planned to go to Subway. He had already eaten, so on the way home I bought two cheeseburgers and a chocolate shake at Dick's for $6.13. After I got home Winter said she'd decided not to go and just made a sandwich and a box of Mac and cheese instead. Here is what I ate Saturday:

Breakfast: banana bread
Lunch: apple pie flavored Greek yogurt, honeycrisp Apple
Dinner: two cheeseburgers
Snacks/desserts: none
Beverages: water, chocolate shake

Sunday morning I woke up with severe pain in my lower right abdomen. After waiting about 20 minutes it just kept getting worse, so I walked three blocks to the ER at the hospital. Of course I didn't have my insurance card or my phone, so I had to call Jeremy to bring them.

They took blood and urine samples and started an IV, with some amount of difficulty. They said it was likely either coming from my appendix or my right ovary. They didn't find anything abnormal in the pelvic exam, and were planning to do a CAT scan, but in order to do so they needed to run a new IV, because they couldn't use the one in my hand. They tried twice, each attempt more painful and bloody than the next.

At that point my labs started coming back and all of them were normal, showing no infection. They pain pills they gave me had also started working. We decided to hold off on the CAT scan unless the pain returned or worsened. They said that I may have just had an ovarian cyst that ruptured or something.

The pain came back again today, but since the Aleve I took got rid of the pain, and I'm not having any other symptoms of appendicitis, I didn't go back. Wish I knew what was going on. I'm really annoyed that I had to miss work on Sunday. After being gone twice  this month I cannot afford to miss more work.

Anyway, we decided to go to Grocery Outlet Sunday evening and we cleaned up! They had some really incredible deals on stuff we could use. Here is what we bought:

8 boxes of Krave Smores cereal ($.27 each)  $2.18
Large box of peanut butter chocolate pop tarts $.77
Fiber one granola bars $.47
Box of 24 packs of strawberry pastry crisps $1.97
