my no good very bad day...

I woke up yesterday with excruciating pain in my lower right side. My first thought was maybe I was constipated. A trip to the bathroom proved that wasn't the case. The pain never let up- it didn't matter which way I was positioned. Ectopic pregnancy entered my mind... I called my doctors office and told him where I was hurting and that I also was now having hot cold flashes and felt very nauseous. He suggested I head into the ER. My heart sank. He told me not to give up yet, that this all could just be my bodies reaction to the flood of progesterone. I called Sarah and let her know I was heading in. Wade and I waited in the ER waiting room for the better part of an hour! I'm literally writhing in pain, have my puke bucket in my lap while a kid with a runny nose gets taken back before me! Wade goes up to ask them what the hold up is just as the lady is looking at my chart and they rush me back. I guess the initial lady who checked us in put the wrong priority code on my chart. Sarah had arrived by this time. Long story short they do some ultrasounds and confirm it is an ectopic pregnancy and I was in surgery within 30 minutes of that. We're home now. I have three additional holes in my stomach and the excruciatingly sharp pain of yesterday has been replaced by a general soreness that medication deals with pretty well. The good news is they didn't have to take out my tube so the whole process shouldn't hurt my chances of getting pregnant again at all. I go back into the hospital today so they can check my hormone levels to make sure my body is recognizing it is no longer pregnant. It should only take me a week to fully recover. I'm sad I'm not pregnant anymore. But I understand these things happen. The worst part is I hadn't gottn our insurance dialed in yet, so this all happened under uninsured status. That's a pain that medication can't really help with unfortunatly. Where did I put that puke bucket again? Gwen doesn't quite understand the whole thing yet. But we're all good. Thanks again for all your support and well wishes. We love all of you.
