I've been in one for the last week! :D

it sucked x_x
I went in on the 19th with stomach pains to the ER.... waited for 6 hours, where I napped on the floor most of the time, by the time I got into the Emergency the pain had moved down into my abdomen and had intensified.

So, I'm in the bed in emerge, and they are taking blood and just making sure I'm alright, and shortly after the bloodwork came back, I was told I was being rushed to surgery fearing that my appendix may be perferated. It was 4am by this point. So I'm taken to surgery early in the morning, I've been doped on morphine by this point and have an IV installed, so I have no clue what time it was or how long had been passing. All I know is I'm laying on a bed in wait, then I got awoken to be transfered into the operating room...then I was knocked out again.

By the time I came too again, it was late on Sunday and everything is a blur. My doctor comes by later, turns out my appendix had burst, and there was nothing left in there; normally even in this situation there'd be a little left for the doctor to close against the intestinal wall, but in this case he had to close it with itself.

So after that, I was infected. I spent a week laying in bed not eating and being pumped with antibiotics, IV fluids, gravol and Dilaudid...which is a fuck of a lot more intense than morphine (in a good way).

But now I'm free! Slowly, I'm improving but damn, I'm still tired all the time, and the dizzy spells and light-headedness are abundant, but I think I'd rather sleep those off at home than in a hospital.

I am back. You can hoorays now.
