I guess I'm going back to the hospital. I think my appendix is inflamed. Are they going to hospitalize me? :shake2:
I hurt in my lower right abdomen. It hurts to the touch

If it's appendicitis, you'd know it...there wouldn't be any mistake of where the pain is from. If it is go to hospital...they will remove it. If it isn't, then they will tell you what is wrong.
When I had appendicitis I thought i was going to die. I had to curl up in a ball to stay from being in pain. I hurt so bad I slept for 4 hours before I was taken to the hospital.
Yeah it's very bad, Jesse freaked out!
This. Staying bent over/curled up in fetal position was the only thing that helped with the pain til I got drugged in the ER. The pain woke me out of a sound sleep and just got worse. I knew immediately that it was my appendix. They took me straight in and operating doctor said mine was ready to burst, so it was good that I knew what it was and came in. Hope you are at the hospital getting it checked out.Quote:

That's what everyone says. Because of where the pain was the doctor wasn't sure if it was an ovary, I had 2 leiomyoma (non-maliganent) tumors on my ovaries. The doctor ordered a full body cat scan and they they saw my appendix...Quote:

The lesson learned was do not eat sushi from a place with the word "Sushi" in its name down south toward the border. I should have known when they failed to make a proper miso soup :shake2:
I',m just not hungry...I've had a ton of popsicles because my throat is raw from the tube in my throat.
I really don't remember much, its been about 19 years. I do remember I was still in pain for awhile and that I was out of school for a week, and couldn't participate in any vigorous physical activity for 4 weeks.
I honestly couldn't believe you were having an appendicitis since you were just having a conversation with Jesse about his just two days before. I thought you had over did yourself trying to walk around with Dawn and the kids at boomsday. I'm glad the surgery went pretty smooth and I sure as hell hope you guys can stay out of the hospital for a while.
Talk about Irony, Paul. Its a good lesson to teach to your kids...lol. I thought about that all the way to the hospital.
I text my mom when I woke up at 3am yesterday morning and I joked about it...I guess it wasn't a good joke.
All they gave me was 5mg of hydrocodone for pain....eeeekkk and I'm feeling it now.
Brian, right? It is funny that you mentioned that. When I returned to school and work, I could not exert myself physically including measly lifting due to abdominal pain from two incisions. Inventory was fun at first, but it sucks when it carries over onto your responsibilities lol. BTW, I have not seen you post in forever, but I guess that is because you are mostly here now.
Anyway, I am happy for the OP! They sent me home with some Morphine, but it did not compare to whatever it was that they injected into my IV; talk about instant pain killer!
Yep, its Brian. What I was most disappointed in was I wasn't allowed to participate in gym class and part of the time I was out they played hockey.
How nice, I can't even feel that.Quote:

Was your done laproscopically? Mine was and neither Chris nor I can remember me being in any real pain afterwards. I remember I slept the night I got home, but that was it. And this was only 3 years ago.
The doctor says it was. I have 3 incision marks on my belly, I thought he says it was only going to be 1. I know they had some problems with my heart due to the untreated hyperthyroidism.
My surgeon is the freaking man. I explained the trouble I've had trying to get my hyperthyroidism. He contacted a doctor within the hospital that is going to see my through my treatment. He's got an endocrinologist in the hospital that is also going to help me for little cost.
I'm really glad this hospital has treated you so well after UT was so bad.
Thanks, Paul. :)
