Pain. At this point all I know is pain. Lots of pain. I feel like I'm going to vomit. I just crawled into bed, didn't even get to shut my eyes yet.
4:30 AM
Pain is finally subsiding but it is still there. Could it be another cyst?
6:30 AM
I am awake. The pain is still lingering....
7:30 AM
I wake up my boyfriend and tell him I am going to the hospital. He reluctantly gets out of bed and drives me in.
8:10 AM
We arrive at the hospital, I am checked in and taken straight to room number 19.
8:45 AM
Nurse finally arrives to take down my information. Still in pain.
9:05 AM
First sign of my doctor. He is older, long silvery gray hair. "we are going to get you an IV, draw some blood, give you some drugs, and do a pelvic exam to start off with."
9:30 AM
Dark blue and bright blue come in to the room. (the names my boyfriend gave the nurses based on their scrub colors) IV is in and blood is drawn followed by anti-nausea medication and Morphine.
9:35 AM
Pelvic exam.......
9:45 AM
Blood is re-drawn from my other arm because the IV catheter broke all the blood cells when they drew the first time.
10:45 AM
Blood results are back. I am healthy. But they still don't know what happened. Ultra sound department is called and I will be getting one done at 11:45 AM.
11:30 AM
I am hungry and thirsty. Boyfriend goes to ask nurse if I can have anything to drink. "No because we don't know if you need surgery or not yet so just sit tight."
11:32 AM
I am crying. My boyfriend wipes the tears from my face. "Everything is going to be ok sweetie. I am right here for you." Tears run down my cheeks and I breathe in heavily and pain rips through my stomach up my spine and into my chest. I am crying uncontrollably, pain continues to shoot through my body. He rolls me over on my side and runs his fingers though my hair. "I love you. Everything is going to be ok. I am right here."
11:45 AM
Nurse comes in and offers me more morphine. As she is getting the syringe ready another nurse comes in and wheels me off to ultra sound.
12:30 PM
Ultra sound is done, I am back in my room. The nurse comes in and gives me more Morphine. I ask her if I can have some water because I am thirsty. "They still don't know if you are going to have surgery today. But I will get you some ice chips to wet your mouth."
1:00 PM
Doctor comes in. "We are calling in an OB-GYN to look at your ultra sound pictures because we think it is either a ruptured hemorrhagic cyst or a twisted ovary."
2:00 PM
OB comes in. "Hi I'm going to go look at your ultra sound pictures and I will be back in a little bit to tell you whats going on."
2:20 PM
OB comes back. "It looks like you ruptured a cyst. I don't think it is twisted because your not sick enough for it to be twisted. Call me and schedule an appointment in two weeks so we can put you on hormone therapy so this doesn't happen to you again. I am going to discharge you with some pain meds. Feel better!"
2:45 PM
Nurse comes in and removes my IV and I am finally released.
