Woke up this morning with a sharp knife-like pain in my lower right abdomen. Went into work, but the pain was bothering me quite a bit and my co-workers talked me into heading off to urgent care.I'm back home at the moment on a clear fluids diet with instructions for what sypmtoms indicate a trip to ER would be prudent. It seems I may have appendicitis. I am not happy about this at all.
I've done a little research online since coming home. While it is entirely possible for this to work itself out without surgery, it doesn't look very probable. I wonder if I just ought to head over to ER there right now and get it over with rather than try this clear liquids thing. While I definately don't want to spend the day at the hospital or have surgery if I don't need to, I also don't want to waste time hoping this will get better on its own and end up in a really bad situation.
Anyway, if I go MIA for a few days, you'll know what happened. :(
Ahhhh, crapolla! Wishing you the best :-)
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! That is stinky for sure!! Thinking of you!!
ReplyDeleteThat is no good. I hope it all works itself out quickly. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI vote for going in at least to check it out. My husband suffered at home for about 12 hours before we even thought about appendicitis and took him into the ER. But someone at work here just had their's rupture a few months ago. I hope it works for you and that you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteMatey - get to the ER RIGHT NOW... better safe then sorry with this type of thing... after all if it turns out just to be a bad case of trapped wind what are they gonna do... other then call you "stinky"?!?!? GO!... and best of luck. My fingers are crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI agree...I hope by now you've had it checked out....keep us posted...will say a prayer for you...what a bummer..
ReplyDeleteAppendicitis?! Hope it resolves itself without causing too much more difficulty! Happy healing.
ReplyDeleteGo get it checked out! I stayed at home until mine ruptured and I almost bit the dust. And recovery from a ruptured appendix is a lot longer than a simple appendectomy. Please take care and let us know, OK?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon and it all works out.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I hope it's something else. But rest up, heal up gal.
ReplyDeleteOh, yuck! I hope all is good, SOON!
ReplyDeleteOH MY!
ReplyDeleteTake care of you...I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!
ReplyDeleteAnd then get your husband to post and tell us how you are
Sending 'get well soon' vibes...
Get better soon...
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking about ya.
Holy smokes - I can't believe they sent you home! I agree with everyone who says to go to the hospital! Hope whatever it is, you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteAack! I'm just catching up! So sorry to hear this news!
