Emergency!!!

I'm sorry to have been away for so long but i have been sick! Trip-to-the-ER-in-the-middle-of-the-night-sick! The kind of sick where you want to curl into a ball and die!

The crazy thing is that it happened while we were in Harrison Hot Springs on our mini-vaca with the babies! Thank God our friends were there to watch the girls and lend us their van so my dh could drive me to the ER in Chilliwack doing mach 10 down the back roads all the way!

I truly thought, after calling 811 (health BC - access to the 24 hour nurse line) and they said "get thee to a hospital NOW" that my appendix was going to burst! Scary to think that I might die and that my girls would never remember me!

However, after mucho pain and having my veins blown out while trying to insert an IV (several times) the Dr. came and said the magic words "we'll get you something for the pain." Oh blessed morphine, you are my very very best friend!

There were actual bets going on as to what was wrong with me, but the overall concensus seemed to be that i had kidney stones. Do you know what they do for kidney stones? NOTHING! That's right, they give you pain meds and make you pee them out! GREAT

But, after all that, it turns out i had a raging BLADDER infection! WHAT????? Even though i had no pain in my frontal area at all????? I'm no anatomy major but back and side pain don't equal a bladder infection to me but who was i to argue in my happily stoned state?

It has been four days of the fetal position now and i am finally starting to feel better - it may take awhile to get back to fighting strength and posting my pics and things so hang in there for me :)
