It has been a l-o-n-g weekend.
It began last week, Wednesday, when Brian developed a monster headache. Just coming off of a nearly two-week-long combo respiratory/head thing (he still harbors the cough and stuffy nose), this headache crept in to stay.
Severe vomiting followed at a rate of two-to-three hours between each episode. The headache intensified over the next couple of days, and his biggest concern (for him) was lack of poo.
[amused exasperation] Kids.
OK, kids and 101-year-old ladies.
Finally, on Saturday afternoon, his appetite began to rear it's ugly head, so Bud ate a little here and a little there throughout the remainder of the day. Eventually, his relaxed upset stomach said "no thanks" in a very profound and noisy fashion.
That was 4:30AM Sunday.
Then the headache became aggressively painful, so we drove to an urgent care facility in town (which wasn't McClaren - they are the gov snydley of healthcare). For $90 this clinic gave him a shot of pain medication and two prescriptions to fill....oh, and a prescription for a CT.
Brian managed to sleep throughout a better portion of the night, waking less frequently then he had been, and no vomiting (thank you, God). He still required elevation to sleep, but his grade 8 headache is now a purring 3 classification (per his opinion), but it is now painful to have contact with the right side of his head. ?
Re: the CT - Once it's done, how long before someone reads the CT results and gets back with an answer, solution, opinion, diagnosis do you think?
[disgusted sigh] What a ride.
More later.
