Stats: Weight is 149.4. It is around 930 as I write this so I have no morning constitutional and quite a few cups of coffee plus my morning pills and Metamucil.
Had an eventful weekend. Saturday night around 0320/0330 I woke up to pain beyond description it felt I like had stuck a red hot poker stuck in my back and far
. What first happened when I woke up I noticed my sleep mask was making a gurgling sound I figured it was because I had set the humidity level way to high and moisture condensed in the hose. The second thing was the pain. After a great deal of effort I was able to take off the mask and slide over to the machine to shut it off. The pain was so intense that I could not talk and only groans came out so I tried groaning to help relieve the pain. No luck there. For around 1/2 hour my body just shivered (like I had the chills but I was warm) and shook. I thought I was going to shatter my teeth I was shaking so hard from the pain. After a while the sounds I was making (grunts/groans) woke my wife up in the other bedroom she tried to help but there literally was nothing she could do ... .... well almost nothing. At around 4:15 came close but decided to not call an ambulance or go to the emergency room. (no heart attach symptoms or anything else I was familiar with) other than I had this same type of pain, just not so intense, Thursday/Thanksgiving Day or rather night.
We finally decide to take 2 Advil and again brought up going to the ER. But as I lay there the body shivering and pain started to diminish. Around 4:30 or so was like 95% pain free. Advil made me kinda sluggish and I ended up falling asleep until 0845 and I finally able to walk.
Pain was located just below the ribcage on my left side. Almost like what a kidney stone pain is described as. No blood in urine doing great there.
Now when I cough or sneeze I get an immense shooting of pain up my left side until it hits/stops just below the left ear. Been taking 1 Advil if the pain starts to get too intense.
Running out of steam .. maybe more later.
I'm dealing with only 90% of my colon and 5 feet of intestine left while trying to maintain a cheery face/attitude on a everyday basis. Which, I've decided, on most days, I do. At the beginning of my new life I did not realize how grateful I would become for the opportunity to continue living and will see what the Creator has in store for me. * *BTW: shitz* - Just another way of saying crap, (noun), and is used to express anger or frustration or confusion or excitement etc... Take your pick
