So last night started out okay. John is getting off of work at 4:00 now, and gets to come home and play with us. I made taco soup and it was smelling delicious. I couldn't wait to try it. We came in from a fun afternoon is riding bikes in the driveway ate some supper, played, watched some cartoons.. John had another Bama Club meeting, so it was just the girls. I got the girls to bed, had the last Granny Smith Woodchuck beer (it was delicious, by the way!), John came home and we watched Glee. We headed to bed afterwards, and I was satisfying my sweet tooth with some sweet tarts, and I started getting crampy. But it wasn't stomach crampy. It was like ovary crampy. John tells me to go the bathroom-- that's his answer for everything.
So, I am sitting there, feeling like I am dying, and I have a wave of heat come over me. I take off my socks and my pajama bottoms and ask John for a cold wash cloth. I laid on the cold tile to help cool me off.. and then, I just knew what was coming. So I sat up, and hugged the toilet. I think I started moaning and John said, "Are you okay?" And as my mouth started watering, I said, "I'm going to vomit". And I did. All that taco soup. And people? That shit BURNED. My stomach, throat, and mouth burned from the acid of the tomatoes. Once I stopped, I asked John to take my temperature because I immediately got cold chills and was freezing. Our thermometer was broken, of course.
I actually, stopped at this point, Tweeted about it and texted Rebecca. (Hi, my name is Rachel and I am a social media addict.)
The whole time this was going on, I just kept complaining about my ovaries hurting. I thought they were going to explode they hurt so bad. I had John get me a Zofran and then round two came on. I ended up coming very close to falling asleep propped on the toilet, so I grabbed the trash can and crawled into bed. I slept fine until 4 am, when John woke me up, so I went to pee and realized how weak I was. I never actually went back to sleep, my ovaries hurt too bad.
Everyone is asking me if I am pregnant. NO. I am not.
I did a little googling this morning and WebMD says I have had an ovarian cyst to rupture. So, awesome. I am still hurting this morning.
Not sure if I should call my doctor or not... Don't know if there is anything they can do.
What would you do?

Sorry for your pain, but the way you tell it is very funny.
ReplyDeleteCall a doctor. It's $25 bucks and then you will know if it is what you think it is and they might be able to give you some relief.
YES! i would call my doctor asap! you never know...there is probably something they can do. and you need to confirm if that's what it is. (i've self-diagnosed incorrectly a few times.) i had a friend who had outpatient surgery on an ovarian cyst and was much better though. those things hurt like a mother (from what i've heard.)
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow. I saw the tweet last night & wondered how you were. Hope you feel better soon & that your doc can work in you sooner.
ReplyDeletei saw that tweet to! i thought it was from the beer! girl call the dr. you don't wanna mess w/your ovaries! hope you feel better!!
ReplyDeleteHoly goodness, that is no fun at all-- sorry you're feeling so sick! As terrible as your last day or so sounds to have been, I had to laugh a bit-- my co-workers and I have been talking about how easy it is to diagnose yourself with death based on WebMD. I'd avoid the Googling and head to the doctor-- better to be safe than sorry! Feel better soon :)
ReplyDeleteAs a nurse, I would advise you to go to the doctor. "Rupturing" of anything is never good. At least you could get some pain and nausea control :O) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSounds so painful! Call the doctor...get yourself feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteGood golly Pete, listen to everyone and Go to the doctor! Ow! Make sure you are a-okay!
ReplyDeleteTake care of you!!!
That's happened to me before. (numerous times) I hope you feel better now.
