Disclaimer: I've been trying to write this blog post for something close to a year now. Last time I looked at it, it was maybe... March? So, I'm just going to pick up where I left off I guess.
I have a habit of being
really excited about writing for this little blog of mine and then falling
right out of the bloggosphere. To be fair, this time, I have a valid medical
reason to not be writing. (On the same token, all I did was lay on a couch for
two weeks straight, so I probably could have mustered something up in between
sleeping ;) but oh well!) So let's get down to the nitty gritty.
First things first (I'm the realest), the
medical reason. I can't remember if I've ever talked about this on here, but
well over a year ago in March of 2013, I woke up in the middle of the night
with the worst possible pain I've ever felt in my back. As soon as I could, I
went to the doctor and asked her specifically (at the recommendation of B's
mom, who is a nurse) if the pain I felt had to do with my gallbladder while
describing the pain I felt and where I felt it. Doc said "nothing to worry
about, probably a pinched nerve," and I put it out of my mind because it
didn't happen again for a long time. Then, surprise!, it started happening again, albeit sporadically. For pretty much the whole month of October, there were at least one day every week where this happened, if not more, finally culminating in the "OH MY GOD MY INSIDES ARE LAVA" feeling the propelled me out of sleep at 4am screaming on the 19th. I barely made it through and made it to work but I was one wrong movement way from either being in excruciating pain or barfing. Luckily, the managers took pity on me and let me go home. I fell asleep in my car in the driveway seconds after getting home because I was so exhausted. The next day, I called out of work and had B take me to an urgent care.
