Was able to have a bowel movement this morning with little pain. It was still difficult to pass but not as bad as it has been. I noticed what looked like an off white color plastic looking substance on the outside of the stool like a small tube poking out.
The doctor called today about the blood work I had done at the ER last night. He says the blood work shows some liver damage and wants more blood work, urine and stool samples and an US of my kidneys and appendix. Apparently my doctor wasn't satisfied with the ER doctors assessment that it can't be appendicitis because of the duration I've been having the pain. My doctor says it can still be chronic appendicitis. I told him about the substance I saw in my stool this morning and he thinks it could be parasites which could also cause liver damage.
I have felt worse pain wise and not been this scared. When I had the gallstones, pancreatitis and bile leak (all of which was 100x worse pain than this) I was never really scared. Perhaps because I was in too much pain to be scared, I didn't care what they did as long as they made the pain stop. Scott says it's all the different possibilities in different locations on top of the pregnancy that has me so scared. He's prolly right, I'm not really worried too much about the pregnancy. As far as I know, if I miscarry in the first trimester there isn't anything I could have done to prevent it. To be honest, if it weren't for the pregnancy I wouldn't have brought anything up to any doctor. So I guess it all started with a worry about something going wrong with the pregnancy. Bah.
I have the ultrasounds scheduled for tomorrow morning and I can't eat or drink anything after midnight. Not even water, ugh why no water...the worse part is, I'm starting to get the indigestion and heartburn now and there isn't anything I can do for it, as it's already after midnight. I just hope I can get to sleep with this burning sensation.
