Happy Saturday. And I say "happy" because I think I am starting to turn the corner and feel better. My cold symptoms are improving; unfortunately I'm still having some aches/pains and nausea but hey, I'll take what I can get.
So after Wednesday's ER trip...yesterday/Friday I got about 5 calls from my primary care Doctors office, so I finally answered. They were calling because they got my labwork sent over from the hospital and it was so "off" from the labwork they had done in their office less than 2 weeks prior that they thought it was a mistake. GREAT. How reassuring. SO - they needed me to come in today during Urgent Care hours to get a full panel of bloodwork done, including rechecking for anemia, and see the Urgent Care Doctor. Let the good times roll.
I already had a couple of good bruises from my previous ER visits, and this morning it took 3 tries to get the blood they needed. #pincushion
I explained EVERYTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG again in detail to this doctor...he concluded that YES, it did sound in fact like a virus. UGH. And part of my bloodwork was run stat so he had my hematocrit results and I AM anemic. A couple of weeks ago it was 36; Wednesday is was 25; today it was up to 30. So basically AGAIN...I was told to ride out the storm and follow up with my primary care. He did switch my nausea meds from Zofran...which does nothing but make me more nauseous...to Compezine, which is what I had with both my pregnancies and actually works for me. The Zofran has done nothing but make me more nauseous - the IV version I'm OK with but the pills...barf city.
Taking advantage of my last weekend on "bedrest" with the hubby home and then will slowly get back into action on Monday and get back to normal...I HOPE.
Pleaseeeeeeeeee, just no more needles or hospitals!!!
