HEYYY STORY TIME.

So guys guess what I got to do all yesterday? I got to stay in the emergency department for 9 friken hours cause my right side hurt and my mom thought I had UTI or appendicitis.(turns out it was none of those)
So I got there at around like 8:30 in the morning and left at like a little bit past 5:30 so maybe like 5:45 ish? Yeah it was around that time. So first they asked me these questions and then they brought me to one of those room things. But then the lady made me go pee in a cup (hey I know tmi probably but keep reading) and after I had to wait and wait for another 2 hours until the doctor finally came in. Had to answer more questions and I did some more waiting. And then they gave me an ultrasound so they rolled me in the stretcher bed thing all the way to that wing of the hospital. After that I went back and by that time I was kinda hungry since I only had waffles for breakfast cause I thought I'd just go to school. But they wouldn't let me eat anything in case they had to do an appendectomy which is the removal of the appendix. Anyways before getting the ultrasound another lady had to draw my blood and it hurt like hell. I also got an IV to the same arm. And the nurse who took care of me put this blood pressure cuff on my other arm and this pulse checking thingy on my finger idk what it's called. And the blood pressure cuff went off every 15 minutes and took my BP. And my blood pressure went from high to low cause I was getting kinda scared that they might have to do surgery on me and I was also in pain so that's why it was kinda high.

Hmm what else. Oh right I had to get a CT scan of my abdomen so they could see my appendix. They made me drink this awful disgusting thing so that the scans will come out better. An hour later they rolled me to the same wing where I got my ultrasound and brought me to the room where I would get my scan. It was boring so I won't explain in detail. But after that I have to go back to my room and wait another hour for the results. In all those hours of waiting I would text some of my friends while watching spongebob on the tv.

RESULTS: Everything came back negative but I was still in a lot of pain so they said that if it gets worse or if I start to feel nauseous etc. then to go back so I can get checked again.
SO YES I AM FINE.
