last week i started feeling ill. my legs and abdomin were cramped but that was because i had been running all weekend so i wasn't really suprised. wednesday i was still a little sore, but around noon i started getting this really bad pain. i left work early and went home to lay down. didn't feel so bad once i was laying down. thursday i felt even worse when i tried to move, but as long as i layed down i was ok. so i spent the day watching movies (between wednesday and thursday i watched house of flying daggers, twice, and all three lord of the rings movies, the extended editions). friday i woke up and called out from work because i didn't feel better. about half an hour later i woke back up writhing in pain. i could barely breath. i felt like i had to throw up it hurt so bad. i called my mom because i needed some tylenol. she said i was "white as a ghost". i took some tylenol (and i never ever take medicine unless i feel absolutely aweful) and it did nothing. meanwhile my mom called the doctor and took me to the hospital. they were quick and within 10-20 minutes i had morphine :) they did a cat scan of my abdomin and did some blood tests. before the cat scan came back they knew i needed my appendix removed because of how severe the pain was, the location of the pain, and because the blood tests showed a very high white blood cell count (sign of infection). i had my appendix removed within an hour or two and came right out of anesthesia without being groggy or tired. i got taken upstairs to recover and spent 2 nights in the hospital, leaving on day 3 (sunday). so now here it is (tuesday night) and i feel great. i just took some vicadin and used a heating pad on my sore back, the a.c. is on because its hot in here, and i am just feeling great. anyway thats all i have for now, ill most likely be at home all day tomorrow.
