I had to go to the hospital...

So last week I ended up in the E.R.

"I love taking my girlfriend to the E.R."

I had SEVERE lower abdominal pain, and it was so bad that I couldn't actually stand up straight without being on the verge of tears. I'll go ahead and say, there isn't anything nicer than when people are willing to drop everything that they're doing to help you out. Both of my bosses offered to drive me home, or take me to my hospital of choosing which was super nice. Luckily, I was able to drive home myself, and my fiance took me from there.

When entering the E.R. it was a little awkward. I guess I was expecting like a 'House-esque' atmosphere, but everyone was super chill. Honestly, it did not feel like an Emergency Room Check-in. I would have rather had all the chaos, since I was crying hysterically.... I needed that energy.

After I got checked in they wheeled me back to a  room and I waited forever... A doctor came and saw me, tapped on my belly here and there, and more or less poked and prodded where he felt necessary. Then my nurse came in (her name was Cindy) and she was AWESOME. Never in my life have I been tended to by such a silly and sweet woman (save fore my mom). She drew some blood, and cracked some jokes. Home girl was too legit to quit!

Now comes the scary part.... Diagnosis!

• Gas
• Pregnancy
• Ovarian Cysts
• Endometriosis

Those were my four 'could be' underlying issues, and anyone who has ever had to deal with the latter two were more or less well wishing for me. Ehhh.... Everyone was well wishing in general.... Being in the hospital is not fun! Anyway, they made me drink a lot of water so that I could get an ultrasound to check my lady parts, and then of course give urine sample.

As anti-climactic as this is going to be, I got a clean bill of health! I was so happy, and the doctor couldn't figure out what my pain was coming from. He just thought it was cramping, but whatever it was it went away in my stay there.

Now that kind of leads me a personal thought. I am so glad that thus far my birth control consumption has not affected my reproductive system. I've been on some form of birth control since I was 14, and lately I've been thinking about being infertile since I have had virtually no pregnancy scares. So even though my trip to the E.R. was just a false alarm, there is a silver lining in the fact that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my hoo-hah.

I find that the simplest memes are the best memes.

  Also, I'm not pregnant! Why is it that when you are a woman of child bearing age, any time you feel under the weather everyone assumes you are with child? Can I just say that not only do I embrace my sexuality, I also take care of it. I will have kids when I am ready to have kids, and not a second sooner!
