Why the hospital is sometimes very stupid...
Its been quite a few months since my last bit of random stomach pain, but this time it hit me really hard when I was visiting Jenny.
I waited over 5 hours in the Genesys ER (they were very understaffed on Sunday night) puking up everything in my system and feeling excruciatingly sick. Once they hooked me up to a Morphine IV and gave me way to many embarrassing female exams, they told me monday morning that I was probably just "ovulating."
Wow, I wasn't aware that ovulating meant I should be sent home with a prescription for darvcets.
The pain just got worse and thankfully my family doctor sent me in for an emergency cat scan.
This showed that I definetly had a bad case of Appendicitis.
My appendix had actually swollen 7 times its normal size. Ovulating. psh. Anyways, I had surgery to remove it late wednesday night.
I am so relieved that they finally figured out what was wrong and that I wasn't just being a hypochondriac. I am also glad that this should be the end of my abnormal pains (once my stomach heals).
