Another Er Visit

Well tonight (after I posted my last blog). At about 9 pm I started having an acute attack again. This was BAD I got up to go get some Tramadol for the pain and fell to the floor in pain. About 30 minutes later I went to the ER. I waited for about 20 minutes then went back. Got labs drawn and etc. My Lipase is at 153. I don't remember what it was last time I will ask tomorrow (well today) at the Drs office.

My liver is now being affected with all this crap. My levels are 3 times what they should be for 1 test and 4 times what they should for another test. Dr gave me some Morphine (didn't help much) and some percocet. I sure am tired of these pain medicines they are giving me but it helps usually. I usually try Tylenol or Motrin. I know am not supposed to take Motrin but now with liver problems I really don't have much of a choice now do I? I am also still anemic. I will talk to the Dr again tomorrow about going back on the iron. TMI ALERT!! I was told to get of of it because that and the pain killers were making me REALLY constipated. So I was put on Mira-lax. That is working REALLY well. Unfortunately too well. I had to take some Imodium earlier. Told ya TMI!! ;)

So this is beginning to worry me. My nurse said I was in pretty bad shape. From my experience nurses don't say that often. The Dr I saw tonight asked me if I wanted to be admitted for pain control. I honestly do want to because the stuff I am taking at home is not always effective. However I still have to be home for my little princess Erica and Noah (the little man I watch he is now 4 mos old). I have to make some money to help out around here. Plus I can not NOT give his mom only 5 hours notice that I can't watch him. That is just not cool. I would be upset if I was his mom and my sitter did that to me. I would be understanding I know she would be sympathetic she knows what is going on with me and is super good about it. I just love her she is a real doll. But still that ain't cool.

I am getting more and more exhausted and run down. I don't know how much longer I can take of this. No one in my personal life really know how truly horrible I feel. Either I hide it well or they are just not seeing it. The last few days I have been having some hip soreness from always being on the couch. Sitting or laying down. It is harder for me to stay awake. I laid down Wednesday only to close my eyes for a few minutes before I went to go attempt to deliver 12 or so cases of Girl Scout Cookies. It was maybe 9am when I closed my eyes I did not wake up til after noon. That is SO not like me. I rarely take naps but geesh I can not stay awake much anymore. Also dealing with a baby sometimes just takes it's toll. I only have him 3 days a week for 11 1/2 hours a day. I have a few times just cuddled with him and passed out. I have also fell asleep feeding him. Something about infants just makes me sleepy.

So if you are still reading this thanks for reading my blog. This is the first time I have ever done this and I am really enjoying it. I hope to get more folks to read and follow it soon. Hopefully I will be able to write more than my health soon. There is some funny things that happen in my life and I love to share them. I love to just write. I have since I was a kid. I stopped for some reason and I am back doing it. I am finding it very therapeutic for me. I love to hear what you all have to say and I LOVE comments so please feel free to add your thoughts and or experiences. I will TRY to post more after my Drs appt in the am. Good thing I asked for a copy of my labs to take there tomorrow. Wish me luck.
