Here we are celebrating Daiki's Birthday Party the evening of which Tess started to fill a dull pain in her tummy. She thought it was because she ate too much...
At approximately 9 pm on Monday night I found myself rushing Tess to the ER at the Banff Mineral Springs because she was experiencing severe abdominal pains on her left side. Test were conducted on her urine, blood, and an X-ray was taken of the affected area. She was given medication for the pain and put on IV.
The X-ray revealed a build up occuring in her large intestine which was assumed to the primary cause of her pain. However traces of blood in her urine led to concerns that she may have other more serious medical issues based on a history of Kidney issues. We were told that an ultrasound had been scheduled for Tuesday at Hospital in Canmore and she was released to come home.
Much to our frustration we find out in the morning that we had been given false information and the ultrasound had actually been scheduled for the next day. But I had already signed off on the day from work so we decided to stay in and rest. This proved very difficult to do because Tess was still in much pain even though she had taken medication for it and she was still constipated.
I was so focused on my wife's well-being that I had not taken stock of where I was physically. This would come into play in Wednesday events...
