I'm referring to the fact that I' m currently, for the first time, recovered in an American hospital, and I have no idea when I'll be able to go home. That's one experience I could have done without, but what can I do? I started having a stomachache on Monday, and when it hadn't gotten better by Tuesday around midday, Ray suggested I go get checked.
The doctor than told me to go to the ER right away, in case it was appendicitis or gallbladder, before it got any worse.
Problem is, it was none of those things, and they still haven't figured out what it is. Meanwhile, the pain is getting worse and there's no explanation.
They already gave me all the tests they could think of (now they'll repeat one) and they are totally puzzled by my ailment. I've become what you'd call the Mystery Patient!
All my vitals are normal, so it's even more puzzling, because they have no pointers to any "known" illnesses. All there is, is the sharp pain in my abdomen.
I just hope they figure something out soon, but I don't want to go home in this condition, because at least here I'm receiving the care I might need at some point.
