Ahhh, someone understands! What a relief. I do feel like I wanna go to
the ER, but I feel like they will treat me like a drug seeker too. I
will have to just wait until the next time I feel that way again and go
in, although I am about to go to urgent care tonight because I have been
having painful bowel movements for days, last night has spasms and today
diarreah with pain. I do feel better than I did the other night though,
that was awful.
Where are you located in the world? Maybe I could go to the ER you go to
;)
Thank you for taking the time to respond and understand, and thank you
for the prayers, I really appreciate that!! Take care!!!!
