An Unexpected "Adventure"
Well, I started feeling pain in my stomach about this time last night. By about 8:30 it was very decidedly localizing to my right side... and around 9:10 I started throwing up. Do you see where this is going?
I no longer have my appendix.
My mom took me to the ER (thankfully there weren't many people there when I got there, the wait was mercifully short), and I got admitted to the hospital. Didn't get much sleep last night, and they moved me to an actual room around, oh, 4 in the morning. (In time to watch the 4:30 episode of "I Love Lucy," which my roommate was already watching - never again will I call that the most useless hour ever to air a TV show). Had a laparoscopic appendectomy around 7, woke up around 9:15. And I was lucky enough to recover well enough that they let me go home today instead of tomorrow morning. I'm still in some pain but I'm getting around okay (slowly but surely...).
All in all I guess it could have been much worse. And now I won't ever have to worry about it again.
Definitely not going to school tomorrow, probably not on Friday either... so I'm going to have a crap load of make-up work. I hate make-up work like none other.
