Well folks what a wild ride it has been...... I entered the hospital November 2nd for an emergency laparotomy. It appears that my appendix was flaring up pretty badly and was about to burst. Bad news. Well when it was removed it was 8 inches long and had gangrene. Not a pretty sight, I suppose. Well I was discharged from the hospital that Saturday(Nov. 2nd was a Tuesday) and then I was rushed back Sunday by ambulance and a 911 call! Apparently I had a huge hemotoma that they nurses or doctors never noticed and when 20 feet of my bowel was pulled out and cleaned along with my intestines germs got into the absysts I had and started to poison myself and eat away at my blood. I was suddenly in the hospital for way longer than expected. I nearly died. I had tubes coming out of everywhere, I was in ICU for a week. I was on a respirator and put in an induced coma for a few days so I wouldn't snatch tubes out so forth and so on. I was told by my mother and both sisters and even my surgeon that I looked like death. You know if your surgeon says that it's very bad then. Well I ended up with the lower parts of my lungs collapsed and I need to walk and use my inspirometer to push them back out. I haven't smoked a cigarette in over a month now.... I really want one though.... But like I said I was in the hospital since Nov. 2nd and I was released on Thanksgiving Day(November 25th) I keep on asking my mother and sisters how bad I was and such and that I don't remember anything and they all tell me it's probably best that I don't know... I would like to know though... Oh well. If you want to get in contact with me, my cell phone # is 251-609-2634... I take cods, checks and money orders or even paypal...... Haha I have a quarter of a million dollar doctors bill actually SOOOO :) the TPN bags I was on cost 1500 a day and I had one a day for two weeks.... You take a hint!!!! Nah I don't need any help for medical bills as I was approved by some program at Sacred Heart as to where I get free medical service and such... But if you want to give me money, please do... It never hurts to have more :). Merry Christmas.
