I had my appendix out last sunday the 1rst.

It all started about a year ago ..I had bad pain all over my stomach I thought it was food posioning waited three days and it subsided ...on two other occasions I had simular pains but not as bad ...on sunday they came again by sunday night I went to the hospital feeling the same way I did a year ago ...they addmitted me fast and got my blood work ..mt white cells were up by 7000 so they knew something was up and said most likely appendicitis after a nasty drink of orange juice and injected blue dye I went for my CT Scan showing I needed a appendectomy .
well 9 days laster i will say this .. I followed all the right things drank my water ..moved around from day one ..was it hard yes..painful yes but I new I had to do it .
I had pain on my right side when I would try and sleep on that side ..so I was on my left or back ...slowly that got better and last night I was able to sleep on my right :) I feel little pain but the bloating is still weird feeling ...Doc said today at my apt .. all was good and normal .
Patholigy report on my appendix showed serverly gangrened ...so my doctor said most likely last year it was my appendix ...I was lucky it did not leak .
has anyone been told this about theirs ...oh and the staples ... lol I guess i now have stapples inside me .

I just had my appendix out 2 weeks ago the doctor said it had gone gangrene and ruptured about 4 days before I went in the hospital cause I felt relatively fine and that I was lucky to be alive because my body fought back and formed a sack around it so my doctor still has me on antibiotics because he says he's concerned that I still have minor pain on my lower right other than the minor pain though my drainage hole is healing and everything else seems ok except the annoying pain when I use the bathroom and yup I got staples in me too

After having pain for the last three years and going to the ER over 18 times, I just had my appendix removed 1 wk ago and I am still feeling sore from it. I feel much better now than before the surgery. I get lightheaded and nauseaus really easy since the surgery, so the dr. ended up doing blood work just to make sure that everything was okay and sure enough it came back normal. I currently still have bleeding from one of my incisions, but the dr. said that was normal also. I also have pain that goes from my belly button to the incision on the right side and it is constantly there. The pathology results of my appendix was abnormal, because they found scar tissue and old blood inside of my appendix. When they removed my appendix, there was a bunch of scarring around it, and it was all twisted and mangled up into a ball instead of being a s-shaped pouch. No one knows how it ended up like that.

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Leo

If you ask someone to give you a hand today, don't be surprised if they make a mess of it. That's probably because their mind isn't on the job, but it might also be because your instructions aren't as clear as usual. So before you get angry, check that what you said made sense. Relations with someone older or more influential than you could also be blighted by confusion or doubt now.
