On Saturday night my stomach gets really painful. I'm figuring it's just gas and so I take Gas X to get rid of the pain. On Sunday morning I wake and it went away, but then it came back when I was taking a shower, just as sharp as when it first set in. I'm figuring something is wrong.
So we go to the hospital. I take a blood test and they find a high white blood cell count, meaning there's an infection. So the next step is a CAT scan. After 2 hours of taking the dye (mixed with apple juice (tasty...not really)), it took me 20 minutes to do the entire CAT scan, and they tell me it should take 30 to 40 minutes for the doctors to review it and give me a diagnosis. But it only took 5 minutes for them to get back to me and tell me that "Mr. Morales, you have appendicitis. We're going to have to do an appendectomy."
So I have this South African anesthesiologist telling me "don't worry mate, you're 38 double D's that you asked for will look great on ya!" He puts the tube of anesthesia over my mouth, I make this goofy little smile, and the next thing I know I wake up in a a delerious state wondering what just happened.
It turned out that I had an enlarged to a slightly enflamed appendix. It was key that I checked into Beth Israel so early. They kept me for a half a day, and after I didn't throw up after a full lunch, they let me go armed with 2 prescriptions for pain killers.
So here I am, loaded up on Hydrocodene with another day off from work, typing this post out. To everyone who doesn't like me on this board, sorry that I didn't die. To all my friends, let's make sure we plan something out once I'm totally recovered. I miss you guys. |
