I was at the ER for a few hours yesterday afternoon. They gave me IV fluids and a pain med and a strong antacid and did blood work and a urine test and an EKG. The pain meds helped. The bloodwork showed the possibility of pancreatits but since the meds helped they thought I should be ok to follow up with my doctor. Everyone was nice. The nurse had an American flag bandana on. He was super nice the whole time and called me "my man" and was talkactive and friendly. No one even mentioned I was trans let alone misgendered me. And since I legally changed my name they couldn't dead name me. They just mentioned the hysterctomy and they saw my top scars when they did an EKG but were unphased by them. It was a good expierence and they got me out of pain. The nurse said to avoid pretty much everything to keep the acid refulx down. But he said I'm on the right combo of meds from my gastro doctor. So I guess I just wait it out until August for my endoscopy. They said theres nothing they can do about getting me in sooner. Everything is so backed up.
