So I'm trying to get in the habit of using other social media more and posting rather than just lurking, so uh... people just post about their life, right? That's what normal people do? 🤪​

Anyway, had a fun, unexpected trip to the ER last Saturday x3 was having stomach pain that, originally, I assumed was just stubborn bloating and gas from lactose ingestion that even my Lactaid pills couldn't handle. Stubbornly though it lasted from the real early AMs into the afternoon, and I started to get concerned and annoyed I couldn't sleep xD

So I went to Urgent Care, who suspected it could be something to do with my gallbladder and pointed me to the ER where I waited 3 hours in the waiting room and 3 hours in an exam room before FINALLY being free x3 long story short, was given a nasty mix of 3 liquid medications that coated my stomach and numbed it, and my throat and mouth with lidocaine (suuuuuch a weird feeling), and the pain subsided. They prescribed me new meds and diagnosed me with gastritis and a funny sounding disease called GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), and recommend for safety I follow up with my regular doctor to schedule an outpatient gallbladder ultrasound to save my wallet some pain.

...... Which I still haven't done yet >u>;; I-I swear I'm a functioning adult...

So yeah! Fun update and a peak into the life of a crinkly fox with tummy issues ouo
