ER (Not the Popular TV Show)

I landed myself in the ER last night, folks. Good times. I was super nauseous and pukey and had a bit of a fever and my surgeon wanted me to go to the ER and get hydrated. I got there and they told me it was a 3-4 hour wait. I told them I couldn't wait that long. They looked at my chart and saw my cancer history and bumped me up to the top of the list. 5 minutes later I was in a room. They put an IV in and gave me fluids, anti-nausea meds and a painkiller. They did bloodwork and a urine test and an X-ray  and it all looked fine. Once the anti-nausea meds kicked in, I was good to go home. I was there for 4 hours total. John sat in the room with me the whole time. It wasn't fun and it was 100 times worse than chemo. I feel better today. Not 100% but much better. I'm able to keep food down. I can't wait for the day when I am totally back to normal :)
