yeah..

So after wasting my time in the er just for the dr to come in and go "Why did you come here? We cant help you why didnt you make an appt?" I am convinced that the hospital here is retarded. I looked at the dr and went "this is an er right? A place to come for emergencies when you cant get to a dr?" "My ass is bleeding! I hardly think that I can wait til tomorrow to be told just to go to the er to find out what is going on with me!" Well the only thing he did was draw my blood for some tests and did a rectal. He told me that the test to see if there was blood present was going to be negative. Yeah right ass, it was positive. I was pissed when he told me that he put in a referal for me and it would take 3-5 days for them to call me and make me an appt. I told him no, I wasnt leaving without knowing what was wrong with me because it wasn't a hemmerhoid that was causing my bleeding and I dont care that the lab work shows that Im not losing a lot of blood. He left the room and came back 20 min later and told me I had an appt tomorrow.
Well I went to the appt and talked to the dr. He was kinda upset that he didnt try and find out or the fact that he even let me go home with the results that he was looking at on the screen regaurding my liver. I dont know what test it was but it came back high. He did an exam to make sure that I indeed didnt have a hemmerhiod and within the first 10 sec of looking, he had found what was wrong with me. I have a fissure. Its a tear in the lining of the anal canal and it extends out. Basically I havea rip in my butthole lol. He asked me some questions and it was determined that the days that Kaeleb was in the PICU that I couldn't take me colace did a lot of harm to my system because it made my stools really hard which is what caused the tear. He put me on something different to help me so that I heal because the colace wasnt helping. So far so good! Just after one day I was able to go to the bathroom with little pain and no blood in the toliet.
He said that the tear was enough to kinda turn my insides out. So, yay no hemmerhoids for me lol. He said that the dr basicaly wasted my time in having me come in and the only good from it was following up on my liver. He had me go down to have the labs redrawn just to make sure it wasnt a fluke. He called me at 630 to tell me it was still high and that I needed to be seen within 4 weeks to have it redrawn and to find out whats going on with me. He said that since he has nothing to compare it to, he doesn't know whether that number is normal for me or not so hes not taking any chances. Who knows whats going on with me. I have my 6 week checkup next week so Im gonna ask the dr if its possible from me having been preggo that thats what is causing the funny results.
