Hospital is the worst place to be when trying to quell negative thoughts .... none of the distractions of normal life and the presence of loved ones. This is such a hard time for you. Sending strength....

I went to sleep at 10.30 with just paracetamol but then woke up at 1, when they discharged 4 people ! I couldn't get back to sleep for a few hours so they let me have a lorazepam.
My scans at 10 ish

Why on earth would they discharge people in the middle of the night?!

You're doing great, OP. Good luck with the scan.

Abdo scan was good thank goodness. Just old gynae scarring, I had a lot of gynae ops about 15 years ago. She said it didn't look suspicious at all and they will just re scan in 8 weeks but she said I can definitely tick it off my worry list.

Oh that's fabulous news! One thing out of the way, something to give you a bit of positive energy x

Mischance · 30/09/2024 13:01

Great - something positive!

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2024 13:02

Phew! Good to hear.

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2024 13:03

All the tests and waiting must be so hard, but at least it sounds like they are being thorough, OP.

Duckinglunacy · 30/09/2024 13:04

Excellent news on the abdo scan - feels like you really needed even just a small bit of positive news. Hope you get more answers soon
