On Saturday, my mom and I drove up to Petoskey and went to a few places there, and on the way up and down, and when we got home, she was saying that she didn’t feel very well. Kind of having some stomach issues and kind of bad cramping, and, but she had mentioned it all day and she went to bed and slept pretty well. Woke up in the morning and still just really not feeling well, and I said to her, “Okay, so what has to happen here? How do we know when we have to go into Urgent Care or into the hospital or whatever?” And so, I, I said, “Why don’t you call, like, the nurse ask-line, and ask them — you know, give them your symptoms and see what they recommend.” So, she did, and they told her that their recommendation was that she go into the doctor within the next four hours basically. And it was a Sunday, so, like, the doctor’s not open. And she asked about, would urgent care you know, be a, an option, and they advised against it thinking that they would not have the equipment if they needed to do an x-ray or a CT scan or, you know, some sort of imaging of her, of her stomach or whatever. And so, they advised her to go to the ER, which we did.
So kinda mid-morning we drove into the ER. It was not too busy, luckily. Really not too busy, and we didn’t have to wait too long to get back into a room. And they took her for an x-ray, then took her for a CT scan, and determined then that she had a partial colon obstruction. So, it looked like her colon was twisted, or in some way not the way that it was supposed to be. So then they needed to do a different CT scan from a different angle or with different contrast or something. And they did that. And, and when they did that procedure to get that contrast in there, they think that that helped to untwist the colon. So she was released. So this was around — oh, it was about seven and a half hours later, about seven and a half hours later.
