on the 12th (3am) i experienced the worst stomach cramps ever, so much so that i couldn’t sleep for the rest of the evening or for the rest of the next day. i’ve had food poisoning before but this one was by far… much worse. not only were the cramps unbearable, i had to vomit and use the bathroom every half hour. i tried to hydrate myself and balance out my electrolytes but i just kept throwing it up. dehydration, extreme pain, and then breathing so fast that you lose too much CO2 (which causes muscle spasms/curling of the hands and feet) = ER.
i think the best part of my night was getting that injection of morphine but it took 3 bags of NaCl saline, valium, morphine, 2 doses of zofran, and some other medication that was given in my butt to relieve me of this hell. oh, and a CT scan to add (which i tried so hard to dissuade the doc from doing). i’m kind of scared as to what the total cost is but at least i’m better. they tried to transfer me to the hospital (i was at the methodist emergency care center) for another several days on suspicion that i may have crohn’s or some other type of inflammatory bowel disorder but FUCK THAT. what’s adding an ambulance ride, some more medications, more tests, procedures, and hospital stay to my check. momma didn’t raise no fool. if things don’t resolve and of course, if i continue to vomit then i will gratefully admit myself to the hospital. at least i’m better now. haha.
btw, i’d stray away from the goi du du kho bo at don’s cafe if i were you.
