I agree with Paige. Do NOT wait that long. Go to the hospital monday, to the ER and do NOT leave until Nohr gets you in for a scan. People in the ER get scanned before anyone else.
PLEASE go there monday.

Oh Carrie my heart is just breaking for you. I was away for a couple of days and was soooo hoping when I checked in this evening we would have some better news from you.

I don't know what to say!!!!! This is crazy this isn't rushing a test!!!!!!

Nohr and Farries are in agreement that she can wait that long. I figure its like the witch trials.. if she drowns... she really was a witch kind of thing..

Gotta try to keep our own frustration in check..and give her lots of love and support..

She did go to the ER tonite and got fluids.

Carrie, I hope you know that we all care about you...and we just don't like to see someone we care about in pain for so long. I'm glad you are getting into the ER for fluids. At least you are doing all that you can, within your own power to keep yourself as healthy as possible under the circumstances. I'm sure this just seems like a nightmare for you...and it must feel like it never ends. We're here for you, sweetie...giving you support in what ever way we can. I know the doctors feel like you can wait that long but please...listen to your body. It's your body, not theirs and only you know how you are feeling. All I can say is listen and be very attuned to what your body is telling you...and if you need to go and camp out in the ER, then do it! You hear? We're all just so worried about you, Carrie.

Oh Carrie - I so thought you would be better by now. Am thinking of you every day - look after yourself!

I spoke to Carrie last night, what a lovely person! She is also one tough cookie with what she is going through. Thanks for the chat babe!

Duckie · 05-05-2007, 02:52 PM

Carrie. I hope the fluids helped. I agree with what Beth said. PLEASE camp out in the ER. Head in sunday night so you will be there when Nohr gets there for work on monday. Don't leave until he sees you and you get the damn scan. I worry about you so much that it makes me cry. I truly wub and care about you honey. I want to see you get better hon.

I totally agree with everything Beth, Michelle, and the others have said here. I know how much pain our bodies can generate if we don't pay attention--more demanding than a 2 year old! I also know how fast problems can go from being big to being deathly. A big part of my recovery from my fiasco in November was the love and support from my forum family. If I had your phone number I would be on the phone to you, Sweetie. We're not nagging, we're worried. As Beth said, be very attuned to your body. You know her better than anyone else, and she will demand that you listen. Your thread is the first one I go to whenever I come on, and when I'm not on I am sending you gentle healing energy, as are most of us on here, I imagine. One of the things that I find extraordinarily cruel is that you didn't need to suffer more than a couple of days at the most. This problem should have been addressed and eliminated months ago. I fault your doctors for not taking you seriously and causing you needless pain and suffering. I just hope their neglect of you as a patient doesn't cause you lifelong problems down the road. For example, Michelle had an obstructed gall bladder and tried to tough it out, since she is so tough.

By the time she went to the ER, her liver was nearly in failure, and when they took out her gall bladder they had to take 1/4 of her pancreas as well, because the obstruction had killed it off. Her payback for ignoring her body is that she has chronic pancreatitis, and I see how it rules her life day in and out.

We don't want you to be in pain anymore, and we don't want you to have lifelong afteraffects, and above all, we don't want you to die. I'm so glad you are keeping your promise to us about going to the ER when you need IVs. We love you, Carrie.

What Donna said. In spades. We love you, girl, and want you to feel better.
