I was not well yesterday but as I read the group chat at work the nurse working with me was sick so I didn't have the conscience to call in sick too as I am the only nurse left to work. But before the handover started I felt the under of my rib getting squeezed it was too painful I was crying in pain. My colleague had to wheel me to the emergency department in my uniform. I was so embarrassed and also so worried of the emergency charges. The doctor said it's gall bladder colic but I'm glad I don't have to stay in hospital. They sent me home after an IV parecoxib and paracetamol. They're going to book me for a scan to have it checked and make sure there's no stones. Pain back to being dull instead of squeezing.

Oh so that is what it is all this time poor you suffering like that.
I hope there will be a good outcome for you and that the pain will subside.
I wonder what they do for that?

@RebeccasFarm unfortunately not yet my GP put me off work for a week. But my scan apparently needs to be on the 30th and I can't wait that long I might have to pay from my own pocket.
