Fluid

So they did an MRI/MRA on me on Sunday- or at least tried to. It was the first time I really flipped out in the middle of a test. I've never been claustrophobic- but this MRI, I lost it. I HAD to get out of that machine. So instead of 45 minutes worth of testing, they got 15.

The test showed that I have fluid around my spleen, and they don't know what it is, or why it's there. They're talking about it now. They tried to get some of my water weight off with lasix, but it didn't really seem to work at all. I peed maybe twice and then that was it. Boo.

It hurts to eat still. I get so hungry, but within a half hour of eating, I get pain in my abdomen, so they give me morphine and percocet to try to help me through. RIght now, I've had both, but my stomach is STILL sore. Ugh.

Here's a question for you all- when you're in the hospital, do you shop online a lot? I buy a TON of crap, because getting packages while I'm in here is the highlight of my days. I can pursue new yarn and knitting and crochet books or whatever else I buy to my heart's content, and it breaks up the monotony. So just curious as to who else does that. Also, if you're bored, I discovered the 2008 bloggie awards, which shows me new blogs to pursue to pass the time. Just a tip for you all if you're bored. Through that, I found a search engine geared entirely towards finding subtitles for movies, which is awesome for me- I can find a film on Netflix to view instantly, and hopefully find the subtitles with this engine, and I can be well entertained!
