What the Crazy?

So I have no pictures to go with this post...basically it is because I was not thinking about pictures as I am sitting for 9 hours in the ER waiting endlessly for results from test that only take 10 minutes to perform. This story gets interesting and hey kinda mysterious so you can maybe take guesses at the end. I don't even have an answer yet.

So it all started Wednesday with me getting sick. Really tired, achy (especially around my back and rib cage area) and a low grade fever. Classic for the flu which I thought I was getting. Sit on the couch for two days chillin and resting. My friend Cynthia calls to see how I am doing and informs me that my eyes looked really yellow when she saw me on Wednesday. Yellow? Really? And if you want to rewind a couple of months ago she told me the exact same thing when I was sick before. So I call my mom and ask if this is normal. Answer of course is no and I should go to the Dr. But why does my body and mind wait till Friday to decide to go? Mom think it is important so I travel on down to the Urgent Care.

I thankfully can call Cynthia and she comes over with her gracious hubby to watch the kids and she comes with me. They look at me at the Urgent Care and send me to the ER. Ok, that was odd. So we drive downtown and stand in line to register. It is packed and so we wait to get seen. We get there around 6pm and I don't get out till 2am. Yeah it was a long time. Lots of sitting and doing nothing. Thanks to Cynthia during the long waits she talked to me and it went pretty fast. She stayed till my hubby got there around 9 pm and then she went home. Corey stayed will I left.

So they took the blood, then sent me in for an ultrasound. Sat for hours then the Dr. comes in with two cups with straws and Cynthia and I both look at each other and think what a nice Dr. for bringing us some water. Nope, he tells me there is something weird about the ultrasound and they want a CAT scan and I have to drink this crappy stuff that makes me want to puke. So they have to put an IV in for the CAT scan which they proceed to do. And all of this because my Belerubin levels (don't know if I am even spelling that right) are abnormally high. Basically it is called Jaundice for those who had babies with it. Means something is wrong. So I get the scan then we wait for about 3 hours to get those results which are inconclusive. Yep you heard it everyone, I have something wrong but no answers. So I have to go to a specialist on Monday so he can take a gander.

So as of now I still feel slightly achy, I still have slightly yellow eyes (grr I look like a cat almost) and I woke up with night sweats last night. Go me. Lets just hope that this Dr. can figure this mystery out so this Scooby Doo can get on with her life.
