I came into the hospital on Monday around 3pm. My husband and I came in to the ER so I could get checked out because I was having internal bleeding (a lot of blood in my stool) and a lot of lower abdominal pain. The pain had been going on for weeks, but the blood was new and my mom recommended that we go in because of the bleeding. So I did.
It is now thursday around 11 am. I have only taken 2 tests since I have been here. They have no idea what is wrong and could not find a source of the bleeding, and I am still sitting here waiting. They seem to have given up on finding the source and said they could blame in on some small hemorrhoids in my colon. I had a colonoscopy on tuesday. Then waited all day. I had an endoscopy on Wednesday. Then waited all day. They told me last night that I was going to have an ultra sound on my belly and see an obgyn. The dr came in about an hour ago and said that was the plan and he had no idea what time or when or anything. I just called the nurse and she has no idea what time or when or anything. I think I have been really patient since all I am doing is waiting around, but I am starting to get really anxious. I dont mind waiting, I made the choice to come in and figure out what was going on, so I am committing to doing that, but it drives me nuts when no body comes in all day to talk to me and no body seems to know anything that is going on and no one tells me anything.
Abraham spent the night with me last night, and he is here waiting with me today so at least I have some company. I am scared this is all going to be for nothing. That they are going to find nothing in the ultra sound, and then I just wasted 4 days of my life doing absolutely nothing. I assume that there has to be something going on because of all of the pain that I have been having, but then again I thought there was something going on with the bleeding that I was having and there wasnt. (there was a lot of blood) So I dont know what to think. And I found out that our health insurance has expired. So that will be a fun experience when I leave.
Im anxious to move my body. I have been taking a lot of walks around the hospital (with the giant IV bag stuck to me) and doing bedside yoga a few times a day, but Im tired of that. And I dont want to leave my room now cause I dont want the dr to come and I miss them. So alas I will sit and wait and get angry internally about the fact that I am just sitting and waiting and no one seems to care to do anything about it.
