a long 18 hours.....

Friday morning, rob woke up with a pain in his side. He is thinking and saying gas.... Me on the other hand is thinking gallbladder. I tell him if it keeps up to call the Dr. I talk to him later on, still has the pain, is afraid to eat anything. But he does have a call into the doctor. Hears back from the Dr, they can't see him until Tues. ummmm hey asshole I have this pain in my side that is not going away! And you can't see me til then. In return they tell him to take Tylenol, the Dr is on call all weekend, and if it gets bad to go to the emergency room. (yea no shit Sherlock...) rob leaves work early, and comes home and takes a nap.
Fast forward to when I get home.. Yup we ended up at the hospital. They did blood work, urine sample. The Dr came in... felt around where the pain was, rob about jumped out of the bed. Dr orders a ultrasound. Now we have to wait for the tech to come in. Finally get that done, and blood works comes back fine, in the ultrasound all they see is his kidney on the left is a bit inflamed. But pain in on the right. Dr now orders a Cat scan. You know the hospital is hurry up and wait. Finally about 10pm (we got there about 6:30) that they haven't even sent down the stuff for him to drink, that I might as well go home and get some sleep, because the test could take a min of 4 hrs. (so that means they could call me at 2am to pick him up.)
It also means that I have to have my mom stay with me, because if i do have to leave I have to have someone to stay with the kids. I finally get to bed about 11. Of course the head will not turn off, and I am up til at least 12;15.. only for the phone to ring at 1am.
It was the hospital, they were transferring rob to overlook, it was his appendix. Up there he was going to see the Sergent and see what he had to say... It took forever for me to fall back asleep again.. it was after 2 when i finally did.
Only for the phone to ring at 6am. It was rob, and they were prepping him for surgery. The kids were up so they got to talk to him. (They were very upset when we left to go to the hospital!)
Dr called at 710 that the surgery was over and everything was OK. They caught it at the Begin stage of it. That he would probably be ready to go home with in 4 hours.. WTF? Don't these hospitals keep you for anything these days??!??!?!?

I know I missed a few days,, but I think I was a bit buzy.. and tired!!!!
