Just a Head Ache

With this pregnancy I've been getting migraines. I've never had migraines before so when my vision went blurry, I got a head ache, and started vomiting I didn't know what was happening. Last week I had been having a head ache off and on and Tylenol did nothing for it. We went out to eat at a bbq place on Saturday for lunch and the lights were making my eyes go all weird and giving me a head ache. As soon as we got in the car my head started hurting and my stomach felt so sick. I went and laid down when we got home but that didn't stop me for losing my whole lunch I had just eaten....bleck! This pain was so bad! I'm probably a whimp but I'd put it at a 9! I told Eric I thought I needed to go to the doctor or something because I couldn't handle this pain anymore. For about the next 3 hours I don't remember much. Eric packed Mitchel and I up in the car and drove less than a mile to an emergency care place. While I was there they gave me some anti-nausea medicine, morphine, and what Eric thought was 3 or 4 bags of IV fluid. They tested me for the flu, which I vaguely remember them stuffing some q-tips up my nose. Now we know this cold Mitchel and I have isn't the flu. I'm not sure what else they did besides a ct scan in which they found a gray dot that confused them so they suggested I go to the hospital and get an MRI. Turns out I'm all ok and baby is ok. The crappy doctors told me to take some Tylenol next time....gee thanks! I stayed in the hospital overnight which was bleck! It was a bad experience all around and I don't think I want to recount it again. Atleast we are able to laugh at how odd I acted at the emergency room. Eric didn't think the first nurse liked me because I wouldn't answer any of his questions. I don't remember that. When they put in the IV I kept saying "ooww, owww, what what are you doing ooww that hurts". When the nurse said they would give me some phenegren I kept saying "ya ya that's the stuff my doctor gives me. ya I take that stuff. that stuff is ok". And when Eric told me they were going to do an ultra sound he said I kept saying "is that the baby test, is that where they look at the baby". I was really confused and it was kinda scarey. I'm glad Eric was home.

So now I find that everyone gets migrains and the common consent is to go in a dark room and sleep. Well great! That is easy except for this one year old I have. I about lost it with the nurologist at the hospital. He said "just take some tylonel". I was like "I did.....I was incoherent....I have a one year old at home with me...what am I supposed to do....how do I make sure this doesn't happen again" To which he replied "you can come to the hospital and get a morphine shot". Idiot!

Hopefully something like this won't happen again and I can go see a real nurologist (especially since we just about maxed out our insurance this weekend....now doctors should be free) to at least get some coaching on how to handle things. For now I am going to my in-laws during the day for the next week or two to make sure it doesn't happen again.

As a side note I would NOT recomment Tomball Hospital. Maybe other people experiences are good that but ours was pretty bad.
