What a night
I was in the ER for 10 hours!!! Five were spent waiting to see a doctor and the other five were doing tests.
First of all I had to drink this yucky stuff to make my stomach numb to see if the pain went away. It didn’t go away. Then they stuck a catheter in me because I had my period and he said it’s the only way to get clean urine. Then I had an x-ray. The hot tech was like “would you like me to tie your gown for you?” I was thinking “no you can take it off!” Then my hot male nurse (with a wedding band on 
) took my blood.
The doctor came back and said that he was really surprised my white blood cell count was so high. Double what it is supposed to be. I told him I have been seeing and oncologist for it and that I have even had a bone marrow biopsy. He said he wanted to do a cat scan. I drank this huge glass of ginger ale mixed with something to make my insides glow. Then I got stuck 4 more times by an idiot who didn’t know how to put in IV in.
By then I was freaking out and they said they would order me my meds. They came quick and I was still freaking out. They gave me some ativan for anxiety. After that I was feeling good. I was getting bored because my sidekick lost its signal. I was just talking on the phone with every one all night because my cell phone had a signal.
Okay so I had my cat scan. They shot me up with this stuff that made me feel hot all over. It felt so funny because I could even feel it in my clit. Then I was done and the doctor came back and said that the only think it MAY be is that there was more poop in my colon than there should be. He said he is not sure if that is it though.
They shot me up with some pain meds and told me to eat more fiber. Then I went home

Ten hours, whoa!
I would have been going out of my mind having to endure all that. And he thinks you’re just full of more poo than normal? Oh my…
Glad it wasn’t anything serious though

Did the yucky stuff have the consistency of semen?? That’s a “GI Cocktail”, and it’s horrendous.
You’d think they could’ve come to a more definitive answer, but judging by my own past experience and the amount of time it took for them to diagnose gallstones.. there’s just no telling.

I was so worried about you
That definately didn’t sound like a fun experience… but at least everything is ok. Of course, going thru all that just to find out you may just have too much poop - wow. Poor thing!

Ick, GI cocktail… you poor, poor thing. I remember having one of those as a child. My mother tells me I cried while drinking it… that part I don’t remember, heh.
Anyway… you can’t tell me that all this could be caused just by POOP? Blah. I hope you can get a more definitive answer. *hug*
