Ouchie Day

It was a very rough morning for me.  I went to the doctor at 8 am and they pushed all over my stomach.  I have to say that it hurt.  Made me want to vomit actually.  The doctor ordered blood work and an ultrasound to see what was going on.  She did say it sounds like gallstones, but an ultrasound will confirm or deny it.  So, the doctor’s office called to arrange an appointment for me at the imaging center for the ultrasound.  Because it was snowing today, the imaging center had lots of cancellations.  They got me in right away.  Now, remember that I had many, many ultrasounds when I was pregnant with both kids.  Those were absolute cakewalks compared to this one.  In order to get good images of my gallbladder, liver, and kidneys, the technician was pushing really hard.  A couple of times, I really felt very lightheaded and like I was going to vomit.  Fortunately, the ultrasound was over in about 10 minutes.  The results will be forwarded to my doctor in the morning.  I’m really anxious for a diagnosis.  I don’t like not knowing.
