update

Just a quick update for you. I went to the doctor yesterday,and by went to the doctor, we called and said i was coming and they were going to fit me in. The pain was just insane, and since i didn't really know what was specifically causing the pain since the gall bladder area wasn't what was sore, i was still concerned enough and ready to lose my mind from pain.

So we went, and i was in tears, so of course everyone we encounter just assumes the worst, but it got us seen real fast. And the women who escorted us to the bottom level of the complex offered to pray with us cause i was just distraught by this point, and we ran in to someone from church who asked if i was ok, and i just said no and started crying, the poor guy, he called this morning to check in.

I saw a midwife because what doctor works the day after easter? she saw me for about 2 minutes and was able to do what the ER couldn't do in 6 hours, tell me what the pain was. Apparently there is a ligament that attaches the uterus to something, called the round ligament, and i pulled it, now this isn't a short little ligament that you don't use much, it is several inches long and is currently taking on extra responsibility, thus the insane pain, which of course there is nothing to be done. But hopefully in a few days it will go back to normal, and hopefully i won't do something to pull it again, because man it is definitely the worst pain i have ever experienced.

But the goodnews is that the baby is still great, and although the gall bladder is a mess, it can definitely wait a while before action is taken (hopefully, it won't cause trouble but hey this is Janice we're talking about here).
