Ouch!

I went to the dr this afternoon and he is very concerned. He is sending me to another hospital, the one that he works out of and where I was born, to have a CT Scan. He is putting a rush order in to get me there asap due to the pain that I am in. I am starting to worry because they haven't found anything yet.

I was in the office as the nurse called the hospital to arrange an appt. But she got an answering service and they were to call her back. We both thought that they would call by late afternoon but I haven't heard anything yet.
I am on another med tonight. The dr gave me a sample to try, an anti-inflamitory drug but it just made me nauseated. Whatever this is, it has a deep grip on me, that is for sure. It is frightening.
I am so thankful for the prayers of my friends here. I am almost sure that you must be tired of hearing of my problems by now. But I know that I am loved and cared for here and God is my strength. Thanks for being here for me. I love ya!

Aww, Marilyn, don't even think that we are tired of hearing about what is going on with you. We care about you, and that is why we keep checking this thread, to hear how you are doing.

I hope that they figure out what is going on with you soon, so that they can treat whatever it is, and you can heal. I can't imagine living in constant pain like that.

I'm continuing to pray for you.

Marilyn, like Pam said, you are always more than welcome to lay your troubles here! I am so sorry you're in such pain too. I can see why you're so scared, and I agree with Savannah...it's just a very good thing that you're doctor is taking this seriously. Sometimes they just blow things off and tell you to go home and suck it up! Sounds like you're getting the best care possible at this point. Keep us updated on your progress. You're in my prayers! Big hugs!!

Thank you Pan and Amy. That means a lot to me. I just hate to think that you thought that I was complaining too much.
I just found out that I am to have a CT scan on Thursday at 1 pm EST. I have spent the whole morning in bed. I am so tired, have no energy and just plain hurt too much. I almost wish that my dr would put me into hospital so I could at least know that I would have help when I need it. Is that too wierd to wish?

{{{Marilyn}}} Of course it isn't, sweetie! You're in pain, you're exhausted, and you have no idea what's causing it. Hospitals are supposed to be where they take good care of you, and make you better. So, that's what you're wishing for - getting better!

Don't even think for a second that you shouldn't post here about what's going on! You're our friend, and that's what friends are for. Why...........If you weren't feeling so poorly, I'd have to pull out this guy: But since you're feeling so poorly, I won't. You just keep right on updating us.

Thursday at 1:00.......I'll be praying then, and of course, you'll remain in my prayers until then, too. Feel free to PM me anytime, too, Marilyn.

Love and many prayers,
Savannah

No, I think that is a natural feeling. You are hurting, and probably also scared, because you don't know yet what is wrong. I'm sure it would be a comfort to know that help is nearby when you are feeling so bad.

I hope the CT scan shows something so that you can put an end to this mystery and get the help you need to feel better. I'll be thinking about you.
