Okay, so yeah...4 days until we hear "CONGRATULATIONS MIKAL, YOU'VE GOT APPENDICITIS."
So Monday I woke up with just a little discomfort, nothing big. I decided to mention it to Katie and she asked me some questions and suggested it mihgt be my sppendix. Well the pain waxed and waned all day and after I piekced her up from work and she talked me into going to the E.R. We get there around 5pm. Well I had to drink some "contrast," wich is just cherry flavored crap to coat your stomach and then I had to wait for an hour to get a CT scan doen...which showed that I had appendicitis and I wold be admitted and and have surgery...grrreat.
Well I finally got a room around 3 a.m. tuesday morning, was in surgery by 11 and it's been slooooow going ever since. The surgeon, Dr. Favre (Bret's sister-in-law) said my appendix actually burst and part of it went into my back...which was I wasn't feeling any pain in the fromt like normal.
Well I spent 6 days in the hospiatl with tubest being shoved down my throat, needle sticks for what seems liked every 30 minutes and vomiting. I've home now for two days, and today is better. I'm keeping food and water down and I SEEM to be able to keep my antibiotics down...I have to go see the Dr. today for another CT scan to make sure there's no lingering infection...which means more contrast, more IV sticks....ick!!!!
Okay, i'm goign now...pretty out of it if you couldn't tell.
