Surgery

So thursday morning I woke up in pain! Never a fun way to start the day right? I figured I had slept funny and was sore. WRONG! Fast Forward>> I had appendicitis! Who just wakes up with appendicitis? Apparently I do. And apparently it was pretty bad! So we went to community care and they did a blood test (yuck) but my white count was fine and I didn't have a fever, so I had to go to the hospital and have a cat scan.

Oh MY GOSH! Worst experience of my life. I never want to have another cat scan EVER! The juice they make you drink before to "light your insides up" is the WORST thing I have ever tasted. I think it was similar to how I would imagine drinking battery acid. They tried to put it in cranberry juice to make it better but I think that it just made it worse! Then when I actually went in for the cat scan they had to have me drink more of it, and then they had to give me an IV with some other medicine that would light my bladder up and it made me feel all hot and uncomfortable and like I was going to pee my pants! HORRIBLE! and the nurse that did my IV did a bad job so when I had to move my arm to go into the scanner I could feel the needle and I was crying. UG. HORRIBLE!

So after my appendicitis was confirmed they took me straight to the ER where I was prepped for surgery right away. They did open surgery so I'll have a nice scar across my lower right tummy now. JOY. The nurse that did my IV in the ER was way better. She did such a good job and even gave me a cool bandage to cover it so John didn't pass out looking at my IV haha!

So they took me in for surgery and apparently my appendix was particularly nasty, the surgeon said it was amazing I hadn't felt pain before thursday because it was so buried in scar tissue and was so close to rupturing (which is BAD). I woke up in so much pain though so they pushed a ton of morphine into me which in turn made me nauseas. UG! And then they were worried they gave me too much morphine so they had to put me on a breathing monitor.

So now I'm on bed rest till Tuesday. What a horrible horrible experience! I would never wish this surgery on anyone!

So ya, sorry for the horror story, but I'm bored and thought I might as well update yal on my surgery!
