The Doctor Is In
Ok, this is what has been going on in my life.....
Went to doctor today, this is what I found out:
- I have arthritis located on my ribs where the cartilage connects to the rib, typical of people who have had pneumonia for long durations like me
- Shoulder is stiff from the way I sleep, so need to work on that
- I need surgery for stomach/intestines
that about summed up my day. Here is the deal:
1. There is a sac that covers all the stomach muscles
2. Mines ripped
3. My intestines are swollen after I eat or lift something heavy
4. Hernia
5. It is severe so my intestines are poking through, and might burst (as the doctor put it) if I put too much strain on myself, or eat too much
6. Much pain for past week and for next week
7. Need surgery next Thursday to fix
It will be alright, just a quick surgery, one night (hopefully) in the hospital, and no lifting anything heavier than a book for 4-6 weeks. I go in tomorrow to get the blood work and x-rays to make sure the damage is not that bad; well, worse than it is. Just no punching me in the stomach please ;-) Will keep you updated, night everybody
