My hubby somehow lacerated his spleen, he went to work on Monday with a terrible stomach ache, expecting it to get better, well it did not. At 5 PM were were at the urgent care connected with our internist and at 5:45 we were at the ER. It was surely a day I wish he stayed home
He had a CT scan with IV contrast and then a second one where he drank the contrast.
It was determined that he had a laceration on his spleen. Thing is he does no recall calling or any sort of injury.
He spent two nights in the hospital and has a follow up with the doctor on Monday.
Its been a long week or not knowing which end is up
