I've had a stomache ache since 3am Thursday morning. That's going on five days now. I went to the GP on Saturday who told me to go to the hospital for an ultrasound that day. My symptom have been all over the place so he's talking possibly a kidney problem or ovarian cists.
A friend drove me up to The Northern Hospital where I spent 7 hours at the hospital not getting an ultrasound. They don't do them on weekends except in emergencies which means vomitting. I wasn't vomitting, but I was in enough pain for all movement to be reduced to a shuffle. They did give me a blood test which told us that my kidneys weren't failing and an xray that told us nothing. The doctor seems to think the most likely culprit is a problem with my gall bladder but that can only be confirmed if I have an ultrasound.
I was feeling better last night but now I'm feeling worse again.
The hospital was supposed to call here this morning to give me a time to come in for the ultrasound. They haven't. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do but the upshot is, if I'm not online for a while, I'm probably in hospital and it's probably gallstones.
I am starting to get annoyed, and once I work out what I'm going to do I fear some hospital bitch will get in my way and have a very bad day.

- 13:59 btw the hospital doesn't do ultrasounds on weekends so after a blood test and xray (7 hr wait) yesterday they still don't know what's wrong. #
- 14:00 I'm not in so much pain now. Mostly just uncomfortable unless I over do it. #
