UPDATE on saveliberty:

I just got a call from saveliberty saying she is headed off to the hospital ER. It sounds like SL is experiencing some gastrointestinal difficulties. She has had some problems with various foods, as you may recall, and part of the challenge is that the acceptable foods that she can tolerate are changing. So, SL is hoping that the doctors can discover what is causing the pain and her eating difficulties.

saveliberty will keep us posted on progress when she is able. For now, just continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Note: I have lost my Ping list when my computer crashed. Anyone who has one, please Ping this post. Thank you.

Thank you for your good wishes and prayers everyone!

I was reticent to go to the ER as I could still walk on my own and I wasn’t sprouting blood or losing major body parts. However, it turned out to be a very good plan to go there.

They ran some tests, gave me an IV of saline solution as I was not permitted to drink anything, let alone have anything to eat. I received excellent care; the nurse even gave me a warmed blanket with the IV as the solution was so cold.

Eventually, we met with our nurse, physician’s assistant and the doctor. After a thorough examination, the doctor ruled out any of the scary possibilities.

Yay!

We did talk about doing a CT scan of my abdomen. She felt that the risks associated with drinking the contrast and the X-Rays were too high and she referred me to doctors in the same hospital with whom I could schedule follow up procedures.

This is a relief to my folks and it’s a weight off of my shoulders, too.

I was discharged and then we went to the cafeteria to get something to eat. My first food of the day...at 6pm.

Now I am trying to get warm by drinking hot water ( LOL goofy, I know).

Thank you all again! :)

I got a call from Carolinamom today. [It's OK if she calls collect because it is a local call!] She wanted Tarheel and I to let everyone know her keyboard went kaput and she is unable to post. However, she can/will lurk and read the posts of others. [So be nice!]

Therefore do not worry about her absence. She is feeling fine, but is simply on a hiatus from posting until she gets her replacement keyboard. [Which means I can post and not worry about having my grammar and spelling corrected!]
