A trip to the ER

Today was one of those days that you would wish wouldn't be eventful like it was. Richard and I were enjoying a morning of errands around town and taking the kids around the mall and all was going just fine until about 2:ish. I was checking my email upstairs when I started to get what I thought were gas pains, but it quickly got worse so I thought I better lay down and try to (*clears throat*) uh, try and relieve some pressure. I didn't even make it to the bottom of the stairs before the pain starting getting excrutiating! When I finally got to the basement the pain was starting to produce tears. Within 5 minutes I felt like my insides were exploding and I suddenly knew what was happening. This had happened to me before about 3 years ago and it was as horrible then as it was now. We decided to go to the ER because the pain was intolerable and it just kept getting worse. The pain started on my bottom right side of my abdomen and spread to the left as time went by and then started to go up my abdomen. A sharp pain with lots of pressure. Just like magic, when we got checked into the ER the pain started going down. The Drs did a few tests and confirmed what I thought. I had a cyst on my ovary that ruptured and the pain of it spreading everywhere was the fluid that was inside of the cyst. After making sure it was ok and giving me some Morphine I was sent home. I'm much better now, but my abdomen is sore all over to the touch! I'm considering some advice I got to go to my OB and get an ultrasound done to see if there was any damage done to my ovaries and to see if it's possible that I have PCOS (lots of cysts on my ovaries). Seeing as we don't have insurance I'm still thinking about whether I'll do that or not.

So, that was our eventful day today. It sure makes me appreciate boring days!
