I have been in Wyoming now for almost 3 weeks. I previously mentioned my bad health record upon arriving. This last week has been just a little better I still have my poor days.
Yet a few days ago I noticed a stabbing pain around, and deep inside my ribs, I also had a small lump under my skin. My mother always used to tell me I was being to dramatic when it came to illness. I also have not had health insurance in years. Yet I went to the internet for answers. As I typed in my symptoms, and proceeded to search. All options suggested cancer.
To say the least I was spooked. Mostly because If I was to have cancer I am now moved away from my family, and still do not have insurance. The pain started to escalate latter in the night. My boyfriend insisted that I go to the hospital. Now I do not like hospitals one bit. I hesitated greatly, but ended up giving in the pain grew to great.
I was very upset at the way I was treated when I arrived at the hospital. The nurse was not friendly. How hard is it to make eye contact? It seemed to me like she could not get out of the room quick enough. After waiting almost an hour for the doctor to enter my room. He finally walked in with what felt like a rude attitude. He only asked me two questions pushed on my ribs and told me sometimes when women are on their menstrual cycles they experience some discomfort in that area. Then I went to explain that I do not actually get my gift every month. In fact I haven't had it in two years. He insisted it was nothing without even addressing the lump under my skin.
I understand doctors tend to be very busy. Yet they should at least give each patient the time of day. He did not suggest any medicine or at home techniques. That experience only reminded me why I despise going to hospitals.
On a better note I am feeling much better today. Also I revived news me and my boyfriend are going to make a move to Colorado for at least a few months. He needs to go there for work. We both enjoy Colorado, but on the other hand we don't know how long we could be there, and we are going to miss the friends we have come close to here.
