Last night, I took an ambulance to the local ER because of severe abdominal pain. About an hour after I got there, I started getting worse. I was sitting in a wheelchair, waiting for a room to open up, when I started sweating and feeling nauseous. I got someone to get me a vomit bag. They finally got me a room, gave morphine for the pain & Zofran for the nausea. They took me for a CT scan which revealed that I have an obstruction of the small intestine. They gave me a NG tube to help drain everything from my stomach. Once it was hooked up to suction, I stopped throwing up. They got hold of my gynecological oncologist & he said to send me to Mercy.
I got to Mercy about 7am this morning. My gynecological oncologist wasn't here but one of his residents once. The resident told me that they're hoping it will break up on it's own (maybe with a push of steroids) in a few days. Hopefully, that's what will happen & I won't need surgery.
