As the world turns…

I was in the emergency room last night. I had terrible gas pain at the ballgame that immediately shifted to my lower right side when I got up to leave a few hours later. We went to the ER after I ate and it still didn’t feel any better. They didn’t find the reason for my pain but they did find a UTI and liver and lung scarring.
I haven’t told Cal about either of the latter because I haven’t seen my specialists yet. I’m hoping it’s a nothingburger, and there’s no point to scaring him if it is. But I’m scared about it, very much. I wish I felt like I could tell him, but he’ll make himself sick with anxiety if I do.
The ballgame itself sucked. We got slaughtered, 9-0. But the outing was fun regardless.
Now I’m at work, exhausted because I had less than 6 hours of sleep. But I don’t have a full day of sick time, and I’m probably going to need to leave early anyway for the followups with my doctors. Primary care, gastroenterologist, pulmonologist. The only one I’m likely to get in to see right away is primary care, but I’m calling all three.
I’m also locked out of my computer at work. My password wouldn’t work. I’ll get my coworker to send an email to IT to unlock it for me.
I didn’t make my word count yesterday; I didn’t get home from the hospital until 10:30 PM, which was far too late to do any writing. I’m going to make an attempt to do so now, before work. I don’t see why I won’t accomplish it today, at the very least.
