Reproductive System FAIL.

not awesome


Spent 11 hours in the Kaiser ER after leaving rehearsal early yesterday evening.

Just got home.
 
In the intervening 11 hours I had the joy of....

  • 2 doses of morphine.
  • 1 pelvic exam.
  • 2 ultrasounds.
  • 1 SUPERDUPER ultrasound (for which some on-call specialist was called outta bed)


Current assessment:
 
The good news is I do NOT have a septic infection, torsion in my ovaries, an ectopic pregnancy or any signs of endometriosis.
 
The shitty news is that I have a ruptured "Simple hemorrhagic ovarian cyst" that had leaked fluids into the area of the abdomen that surrounds the uterus.
 
The additional (and IMO, shittier)  news is that I have two more cysts that have NOT ruptured.
 
One of them is 3 centimeters by 5 centimeters. The other one is "smaller" but because they are kind of squashed together I guess the boundaries aren't clear or some shit.
 
So I'm on bedrest for 3-5 days with painkillers.  Now, the NP said I should be able to do minimal low-exertion stuff outside of keeping the meds up till the abdominal fluid resolves.

And I thought the nasty fall on Pride Saturday was bad.

This is not the way to open tech week for a musical, kids. I'm not on top of the world.
 

The Morphine eased that a little. Vicodin should help too but it is hard to tech a show on painkillers.
