I was sitting here for over half an hour waiting for someone to check on me. I wanted to try to go to the bathroom but I needed them to unhook me from the IVs. Finally I was freed and I OVERFLOWED THE CUP. It was like my bladder was saving it or something. So they did the pregnancy test (ha!) and sent some down to the lab for urinalysis. Next up: CT scan

Good luck on that one. And, are you saying you removed yourself from your ivs?

They are being very thorough; and that's a good thing.

Thta’s one of the things I LOATHE about the hospital ER: having to ask permission to go to the bathroom like a five-year-old in kindergarten.

And they have you hooked up to more wires than any modern computer has to have.

Any updates on what they are finding with the tests, or are they giving you the mushroom treatment (keeping you in the dark and feeding you sh*t)?

@NJChicaa — what, is eating a banana against your religion or something?

Truthfully, medications can mess with the absorption of those nutrients, and sometimes we don’t know it until we’re in the ER hooked up to 40,000 monitors. I sincerely hope and pray that’s ALL it is.
