Appendix, What, WHAT!?!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

So Monday morning I woke up around 4:30 am in pain. Lots of pain.  It was on my left side and I had no idea what to do.  The night before Ichiro and I ate a bunch of trail mix and caramel candies right before bed and I thought it HAD to be that.  I ended up coming downstairs for some Pepto but nothing seemed to help.  I curled up in a ball and fell asleep.  The next morning when Ichiro’s alarm went off I told him.  He asked me what the pain felt like and all I could say was “nothing like I had ever left before.”  I was feeling better but still a little uncomfortable.  Normally I would just blow something like this off but something told me not to brush this off.  I called the doctor.  I thought I could run in, Ichiro would watch the kids.  I’d see the doctor, she would tell me I ate to much before bed, then I would come home and drive Ichiro to work.  That’s NOT exactly how everything went.

I did call my doctor and she didn’t have any openings but they DID say a different doctor could see me at 9:30.  While I went Ichiro DID watch the boys and that’s about all I got right.  At the doctors Dr Ken started to ask me some questions, he poked around my stomach, and he said it DEFINITELY was NOT the trail mix! haha  The funny part about him poking around my stomach was the pain had moved.  It was no longer on my left side, it was now on my right side.  The doctor said that was concerning and that I needed to go for a CAT scan.  While they called the hospital to set it up, I headed downstairs to the lab for some blood work.  By the time I got back, I think the entire Medford elderly community was there for blood work, I was in pain again.  I curled up on exam table and waited for instructions on what to do.

They gave me directions to the hospital and off I went.  On the way I had to pull over at a gas station because I thought I was going to be sick.  I got to the hospital, registered and headed to radiology.  Once I got there they gave me a funky fruit punch drink.  The nurse explained I had to slowly drink it over the next hour, then wait an hour before the test.  I got sick twice but managed to finish the drink. By this time, Brenda had heard the news and headed over to watch the boys so Ichiro could come find me at the hospital.  It was so nice to have him there, he calms me!

The test was fast and painless and we waited for the results.  Soon the doctor came out and said I had a VERY angry looking appendix and that it needed to be taken out.  He took us down to the Emergency room and we waited there to be checked in and see the nurses.  Around 10 they moved us into a ER room and we waited to talk to the surgeon.  Finally around 11 pm they rolled me into surgery.  I sent Ichiro home to be with the boys.  There was no reason for him to sit at the hospital any longer.  The doctor called him when he finished.

The next thing I remember, I was in recovery.   It all happened so fast.  In the morning I was released and Ichiro came with the boys to pick me up.  It all happened so quickly and I was very happy to be heading home.

Here I am waiting to see the doctor, I’m iChating with Noby on my iPhone!
