so, thursday night i couldnt sleep at all. i kept having this pain in my abdomen, and no matter what i did i just couldnt get it to go away. ive had alot of different types of pain before, and this was just nothing like it. so i called my doctor and got an appointment before i had to go to work at one.
i show up at the drs office, he asks me a few questions, pokes around and then send mne to the ER at boulder community hospital. after a cat scan, a pelvic exam, an iv, and other horrible treatments, they decide it is in fact my appendix and i have to have surgery within the hour.
this was not how i expected my day to go.
so i had to have general anestesia, and they decided to do it lapriscopically ( i dont know how to spell some of these words so give me a break) beause they didnt want to ruin my tattoo. i thought that was a nice touch.
so they put a camera in thru a slice in my belly button, and "chop sticks" in thru two holes below, burned that appendix off, and pulled it out thru my belly button.
so here i am for the next week, no work, pretty much confined to the house, in a fair amount of pain, reading a book a day, sleeping too much, trying to conserve my pain pills, and being rather bored.
my boyfriend had sunday and monday off so he spent a few hours with me, but for the most part, ive got some time to kill.
when im feeling alright i can sit at my computer, so if anyone has anything interesting for me to do, you should let me know.
here are some pictures of my healing tummy, and of the flowers that my boyfriend, co-workers, and daddy gave to me!!
