It was a pleasent surprise and I'm flattered
I'm pleased to say that I'm not in the hospital anymore, but I'm still not completely better... my tummy hurts, I can't eat too much or it will hurt more, I also get terrible gas pains every hour or so and it hurts a lot, but other than that, I'm okay!
Well, I think that I should tell most of the story, because it's like an action-movie. Well, no, more like... a heroic battle... without the heroic... maybe for the doctors?
Okay. On Saturday I went to Leba's and her, Stuart, Austin, Dan and I went on a picnic and the rest of the day the was much fun to be had, and then that night before I went to bed my stomach started to hurt and it sort of progressed throughout the night... the next morning it was hurting a lot more (the pain was about two inches above my bellybutton) and I was going to go bowling with Katherine but I realized that I couldn't, so I phoned my mom and she picked me up... I felt really bad I couldn't go bowling with katherine, though
anyways, when I got home, the pain was still on the rise and it just kept hurting more and more so my mom took me to a walk-in clinic, the doctor there say it might be a stomach ulcer, so she perscribed me antacids... well when I got home, a few hours after the pain was almost unbearable and I was crying almost non-stop, so my mom took me to the emergency room. It wasn't much better there... by that time I had thrown up once, and when the nurse was getting my vitals I threw up again... and then she said I could lay in a stretcher... but I couldn't lay down, because it was too painful...
about an hour or two later, I finally got to go into a room, where I threw up about twice more and around 6 in the evening a doctor saw me and prodded my stomach asking me where it hurt and then I finally got a shot of some pain killer and some gravol and started falling asleep, though the pain wasn't completely subsided and still hurt quite a bit... then the doctor came back a few more times and prodded my stomach some more and after a while around 9pm he sent me home, and I threw up in the parking lot two times...
That night I barely slept and in the morning I decided I would try to go to the bathroom, and upon getting up immediately realized my mistake. I got kind of dizzy and nauseous and in the bathroom I sat on the ground to throw up in the toilet, but I ended up just getting a weird headrush sort of thing and I couldn't see for a few minutes and my mom came in and I went downstairs
I stayed home that day, but the next day I went back to the emergency room. They, I guess, had smarter doctors that day and I went to the ultrasound and the saw that my appendix was rather large and so they took me away out of the emergency room (I got to ride on the stretcher, I couldn't really move). By then I had an IV in my arm because I was very dehydrated. And they wouldn't let me drink anything before the operation (that they decided they were going to do). They took me upstairs and at that time the pain wasn't that bad, but as soon as I moved myself from the stretcher to the bed, the pain exploded times 10! So after a while they gave me morphine, and I kind of dozed off in and out of sleep until the operation, which was a little bit before 11pm.
They explained the operation well, and I thought that they'd just be taking out my appendix and then after when I woke up I could have a big cold drink of water... but then after the operation I had this tube in my nose... they said it was going to my stomach to take out everything in it so I don't throw up. It turned out that my appendix had ruptured inside of me and was really rotten! Oh boy, so I had this tube in my nose for three days and I couldn't eat anything... but... I still couldn't eat for a few more days...
And then on tuesday (after being at the hospital for a week) I got to go home! I was so glad, the hospital was horrible... everything smelt just... wrong, and I had to pee in this thing so they could measure my urine and the bed was painful and when I slept I would sweat a lot and the smell bad (to me, apparently fine to everyone else).
But now I'm back and very happy! I've lost 14 pounds... I'm not happy about that... and I can almost walk as well as before...
well I gotta go to bed! Goodnight everybody!
I also want to that all of my friends that visited me at the hospital and my brother and sister and mom and dad and boyfriend for visiting me too
All I've got to do now is catch up on my homework ehh
