Short entry for now. To sum it up that pain on Sunday was not my stomach, it was my appendix. Monday I got up and the pain was massively intense so we went to the doctor and by 6pm I was in surgery. My staples are HUGE, the incision is seriously like 6 inches at least. I was there until this morning and released at 12:00pm. Now I’m home, showered (it had been 4 days, EW), and in massive pain b/c my darvacet or wtf ever it is is NOT working. Ugh. Time to go lay down.

Oh and I know this isn’t life threatening (well, it can be but we caught it early enough) but it’s never too early to look into possibly getting a life insurance quote because as this shows, you never know what could happen in regards to your health. I was fine on Saturday, in a bit of pain Sunday, and by Monday had no appendix at all!

  1. Yikes!! I hope you recovery quickly!

  2. Yikes! Glad that you went to the doctor because that can go bad, quickly.

    Find some better drugs and feel better! ;)

  3. I hope you feel better soon. Appendicitis is something I fear! <3

  4. Eek! It’s like staring at my c-section incision all over again. I had glue AND staples AND tape on that bad boy, heh.

    Ask for Percocet or Vicodin - both worked wonders for me in regards to pain. Percocet is what I had after the c-section - also major abdominal surgery, like your appendix removal surgery.

    Anyway, I’m so glad you’re okay! *hug*

  5. Feel better soon, hunny.
