What a day!

The pain was a bit better this morning but I thought i'd ring Mr Fayle to make sure. I tried calling and got his secretary's answer machine. Bah! Work was chocka and I missed his call. So I called back and got the machine and waited again.

About half 12 the pain got REALLY bad in my stomach. I took a Tramadol at quarter to 1. I couldn't sit still it didn't help. I called my dad who said to go to A and E at 4 when Matt finished. Then Mr Fayle's secretary called back and when I explained that after Tramadol I was still in pain she told me to go to A and E then and there.

I was in A and E for an hour. I got taken through to a treatment room and after about 10 mins I was crying in pain cradling my stomach and leaning on a slant. The nurse man looked at me and stood at the door. His words were 'The girl with Endometriosis needs treatment NOW!' The girl with Endometriosis. I beg your pardon. She has a name!

Anyway, he comes in with the doctor and a tray of stuff. They took three tubes of blood, put in an IV line, got me lay down, and put three mil of Morphine me. I was drifting in and out so I had an oxygen mask put on. I was all alone, I was scared and sad. They called my mum and she came up.

I was in hospital for four hours. They think one of the Endometriotic cells burst and bled into the pelvis. They asked if I wanted to stay in or be treated as an outpatient. I just wanted to go home. I was walking out and felt sick. So I had to stay for another 20 mins while I had another anti-sickness and it kicked in. If it comes back I have to go right back in and will need to be admitted.

All in all a very hectic day!

For those of you with Endometriosis, if you ever get pain like that please go to your local A and E they CAN help you.

I told everyone on Facebook. I've had a lot of well wishers. I just hope they don't see me as 'The one with Endometriosis'

You can have two pictures today. The first is me when I was being treated. The second is me and Matt when we got together as we celebrated our 8 months today :)
