Out of the hospital
11 years ago
So, for those that don't know yet I was in the hospital for most this last week. Had emergency surgery to remove my spleen.
Tuesday I woke up with a lot of pain in my chest belly and shoulders. I got up to walk it off, started to get dizzy and collapsed, hitting my head on the doorframe in the process. Decided I'd try just sleeping it off so I crawled back into the bed. Was woken up again a little later by a delivery man. Got up to answer the door and actually passed out onto the floor for a moment. Went into ER and they preformed a bunch of tests eventually finding a laceration in my spleen. They immediately prepped me for surgery and removed it. Doctor said he had tried to repair it, but it just started falling apart as he touched it, so he had to just take it all out. I've been recovering in the hospital since then. Just got released last night and am at my parents' house for a bit recovering.
The doctors were pretty sure it happened from the accident last month, since they said it takes a very strong impact to damage the spleen to that extent. They were shocked it took so long to show symptoms though.

Hoping for a speedy recovery!
