Not a hernia

Apparently it's not a hernia but a collection of fluid in my abdomen. I have Interventional Radiology on Tuesday for a needle aspiration. I also have chemo tomorrow and a urologist on Monday. There's some swelling around one of my kidneys.

Hernia

So the abdominal pain, nausea, & vomiting came back yesterday morning. After I threw up a couple of times and the pain worsening, I called 911. Once in the ER, they gave me morphine, phenergan(anti-nausea) & IV fluids. They decided to do a CT with oral & IV contrast. I had to drink 2 bottles of that nastiness. The first bottle I had to drink in 15 minutes, the second I was given an hour. I almost threw up the first sip of the first bottle. The CT showed that I have a small right lower quadrant ventral hernia containing fluid. I have an appointment with my gynecological oncologist/surgeon on Tuesday, so I'll find out more then,

ER & hospitalization

On Saturday, 2/8/20, I had my mom take me to the ER with severe abdominal pain, nausea & vomiting. They gave me morphine for the pain, zofran for the nausea & IV fluids. They sent me for a CT with oral & IV contrast to see if the blockage had come back(it hadn't). After about 8 hours, they sent me home EVEN though I was still vomiting.

On Sunday, 2/9/20, I woke with same symptoms. Even water was making me throw up, so I called an ambulance to take me to the ER. This time they decided to admit me to the hospital for observation. I was on clear fluids for the first night. By lunch on Monday, they decided to let me try a regular diet. It's been staying down, but I can't eat very much at a time. My gynecological oncologist said I can probably go home tomorrow(Wednesday) & to try eating smaller more frequent meals.
