er visit number fortyseven

woke up with severe pain at 2 am this morning.  went to the bathroom, felt sick.  the pain was getting worse by the minute.  i was doubled over in pain.  i knew i needed to call the rents but my phone was stolen at work yesterday along with my ipod.  kaitlin was sleeping so i decided to use hers.  only problem is, it was in my room all the way down the hallway.  knowing that it would take me forever to crawl down the hallway to my room, i decided to make a run for it.  yes, i do think that pain was affecting my train of thought at this point.  i take two leaping steps down the hall, come to on the floor having make it maybe 4 feet.  haha.  i then crawl to my room and wake a very asleep kaitlin by saying the word "phone" about 34 times, not being able to think of another word, besides the occasional "telephone."  Within 10 minutes I had called mom, taken a hydrocodone, and still nothing.  I tried to wait another 20 minutes to give the hydrocodone to kick in but my body was not having it and i was starting to fade.  kaitlin took me to the hospital.  after waiting 2 hours, i finally receive an i.v. oh, wait, no, an i.v. was attempted.  after blowing the vein, another i.v. was attempted.  3rd try was a charm and by this point my arm pain was distracting me from the nuclear explosion in my gut.  after several tests (one of which i think involved a chain saw and a letter opener) I took a cat scan (this is now 8am)  all the tests came back "normal" for someone who has crohn's disease.  i left the er 2 doses of morphine later at 9am ish. in all of my e.r. visits, this has been the worst.  

i'm feeling ok now physically, but my spirit is totally crushed.  this is the first time i've been sick this school year but i have no idea what caused it or how to prevent it from happening again.  it was nice having a day off school but i know it will make tomorrow difficult.
