Last weekend I thought I had the flu. My stomach hurt like crazy and I was vomiting. I didn't have chills or a fever though. Finally, on Sunday night, I went to the ER. First I went to UVRMC. I walked into a waiting room with about 30 people in it. I asked the front desk receptionist how long the wait was....Two and a half hours! I was in so much pain and I did not want to wait that long. Also, she asked me what was wrong and I started to tell her my stomach hurt and she just wrote down stomach ache. I knew that was not going to get me in to see the doctor very fast. So I left and Wes took me to Timpanogos Hospital where I walked right in and was the only one in the waiting room. I got hooked up on morphine right away and was very relieved. So they tested my blood and I had PANCREATITIS-inflammation of the pancreas. Apparently this is a common sickness if you are a heavy alcohol drinker. So who knows why I got it. Anyway, I had to be on a clear liquid diet for 2 days and now I am feeling much better. Hopefully that won't happen again.
