Not doin' so hot

Ok, I am not doing so hot. I spent 4 hours in the emergency room yesterday and I am really not doing so great today. Right now I am no closer to answers for my problem than I was before I went to the ER. They gave me Vicoden, whoopee, I took that for so long with my back(yeah, I told them) that it doesn't even phase me. Heck when I was down for my back I was taking percocet and vicoden and still had pain. So a little vicoden is not gonna help this new and truly horrendous pain. The only thing I can share here is is that it is a female problem. I went through menopause and that part of me has been done for over 2 years, that is until the other day. Now I can barely leave the house. They did an internal ultrasound, that was not fun. and the ER doc thinks there is a mass in utero, that is what is causing the problems. I feel like I am in labor, yuck! I have to make an appointment with a gyno specialist on Monday, it just so happens to be the doc that delivered my last three kids and now they(husband and wife team) only do specialty stuff. Infertility, cancer, endometriosis, etc. The ER doc told me he didn't want to frighten me but that I had all the signs and symptoms of uterine cancer, but if that is what I have, it was caught early and should not be a problem(at least for him, LOL) No sense in getting worked up until I found out for sure and even if it is, cure rate is extremely high, so I am not real worried. They did alot of tests last night and seemed very, very concerned so we shall see what we shall see. I just know I cannot keep living like this, this is horrible. Well, need to go get back to my heating pad, maybe watch some tv then off to try and sleep for a couple hours. So my friends, keep me in your prayers and I will update as I find out anything.
ps. I have never had an ER doc call me at home, but he did, I was so shocked. I answered the phone this afternoon and it was the doc that I had seen last night. He said he was concerned and wanted to check on me to see if anything had changed, I told him it had not and that the vicoden was barely cutting the pain. He reminded me to make an appt as soon as possible and that if I needed anything he was there all weekend and don't hesitate to come back in. I told him thanks and he hung up, wow! That was a first and it was very nice to see that he actually "saw" me.
Well, heating pad is calling so my friends, I will TTYL!
