Huh, and day in the life stuff

Dec 30, 2006 15:12

For whatever reason Yahoo email isn't letting me in, and I don't use a mail server program. So if you're looking for me, try using rhiannon dot shaw at gmail dot com and apologies for slow replies; I'm over here coding webpages (yes, unmisha, I'm working on I Still Have Plans To Go To Mexico) and tonight I'm going to do the 'end of year fic summary' post ( Read more... )

day in the life, writing: discussions, health, site: design, computer problems

I had the same bug earlier this week (what a way to top off my visit home!) and I thought it was an apendicitis attack too. I wasn't curious enough to get a CAT scan though. Ouch.

Glad you're feeling better! *hug*

::wry:: In my case it wasn't curious, it was the doctor at the minor med sending me on the ER. What a *nasty* bug!! {{hugs}} Glad you're feeling better too!

I've *had* appendicitis, anything that mimics it should be checked out!

They didn't have CAT scans back when I had my appendix out -- I wish they had. Instead they kept me in observation for 12+ hours the 2rd time I went to the ER in 2 days, (They thought I might have had a tubal pregnancy, and my appendix wasn't where the textbooks said it should be.)

You know, that's what minor med and the ER said? And yeah, the doctor was saying that before CAT scans, they'd have just hauled me into surgery and taken it out. He said when he trained, they told him that if he didn't end up with 10-20% healthy appendixes coming out, he wasn't doing his job right. Since, yeah, no test, and that or peritonitis...

{{hugs}} And *ow*! 12+ hours of observation? Eeee.

Yep, and that was the *second* time I went to the ER. The first time I thought it was bad food poisoning, since I'd been to a pot-luck the night before and they thought it was stomach flu (because I wasn't screaming) so they sent me home and told me to drink 7-up and come back if I didn't get better. I threw up the soda and went back the next day, I was delirious by the time they told me I was going into surgery, and the appendix burst in the surgeon's hand.

Modern technology is a good thing!

Modern tech is a very good thing! {{hugs}} Glad you came out of it all right!

Yay! (although, I've gone ahead and saved the other site's file for offline reading, and a good thing too! I've been net-less all weekend!)

{{hugs}} Don't blame you! ::dives back in::
