this and that
i am taffy stuck and tongue tied.
my world has been flipped over. my parents left for florida on thursday and i was excited for a week of staying at the reynolds and fun days with my socal girls. but thursday night things took a turn for the worst. i had a horrible stomach ache the whole night and was throwing up, hardly able to walk. i didn't sleep more than an hour the whole night. grace took me to their family doctor in the morning, who sent me over to the er. grace drove me there and her dad met us there. we got there at 10 am. i was not moved into a room until after 11 at night. over 12 hours in the er. SHOOT ME. the day consisted of iv's, ultrasounds, barium, catscans, throwing up, sleep.. basically lots of unpleasantness. but lots of great people. i have a lot of fabulous people in my life. i'm so lucky for all these people. thank you for coming to see me! and grace and her dad, they stayed with by my side the whole day. my hs coach and grace's dad stayed with me in my room until around midnight, when my old swim coach came to relieve them. she stayed with me overnight and was soo helpful. she was with me in the morning, and sat with me until 5 minutes before my operation when my mom arrived from the airport. i was really scared but once they gave me some drugs i was out and woke up with my mom holding my hand. the next 2 days were a blur of morphine, people visiting and sleep. once again, thank you for coming to visit me and for your prayers. i was released sunday morning around 11. long time in the hospital. and i must say not a very pleasant one. so by this time, all i had eaten since thursday night was a thing of jello and a few bites of oatmeal. but yah... still not vey hungry. and im in a lot of pain. in order to get my appendix out they had to cut through my stomach muscles which wasn't fun. its alright though, im a fighter. im pretty upset that i can't play in jos. i've always been the person that vowed never to have surgery becaue i was so afraid of it, so when the doc said surgery i freaked. its okay though.
so yah. its been a long couple of days. i struggle to walk and even sit up by myself. but removing my infected appendix may lead to me getting healthier in general and to having less back pain. my appendix has been leaking, and i've had this stomach pain since january, so it looks like this might be why i have been so sick. the only reason my appendix didn't rupture was because of all the antibiotics i've been in. so i am looking forward to a healthy senior year.
tomorrow i am leaving for florida to support my team. i have wheelchairs scheduled to pick me up when i arrive at john wayne, when i get off the plane in houston and ft lauderdale. boys are looking up... but i refuse to jinx anything. so yahhhh.... have a nice day
