Although three weeks earlier I had my uterus removed. When i could not roll over, my husband asked if I wanted to go back to the ER. Yes!!!! That's exactly where I want to go back too. I was shocked when told my apendex had to come out ASAP. The next three days were rough. The nurses were great and kept asking me to walk. One problem I was in so much pain from a gas bubble I could not walk. The only way to get rid of the bubble was to walk. Eventually, they drugged me enough to stand and things slowly got better. Thanks for your story, and to everyone out there, listen to your body and br persistant. The Doctors do the best they can but hey are not inside you. I know exactly what you went through.

I can still remember how painful it all was. Though my inscion is a wee bit bigger then yours. :) Gotta love the 80's. Thank you for sharing. I hope that you are fully recovered by now.

It was an emergency and they identified it with a blood test and internal ultrasound. They totally doped me up and then called in the surgeon on call who was out on a date for Valentines Day. He was having sushi. So, all buzzed, I asked him if he had been drinking sake at the restaurant and if he was sober enough to operate on me. Of course, he was... and he laughed at me. He told me that he knew he was on-call. He was TOTALLY HOT, too! Anyway, the procedure was way worse back then than it is now. I have a huge scar and I was down and out for 4 weeks and could barely walk. From what I hear nowadays with the laproscopy available, you'll be up and about before you know it.Thanks for the article.

Had to have a polyp removed from my intestine, so it wasn't just pee but I had to do a poo before they would even consider letting me leave. Your scar is very cute compared to the Frankenstein-ish gash down the center off my belly. Awwwwww, memories. Hope you feel better real soon.

What an adventure you have had since Borders. Since I spent my share of time in hospitals, I can tell you Dignity is left at the door (there must be some huge invisible container there which is emptied hourly) when one enters the hospital as a patient. Some day I'll tell you about trying to pee when one has two broken ankles, two broken knees, one broken hand neck head and face, and while lying flat on one's back. It seems no matter what you go into the hospital for, peeing ends up being the problem.My appendix hasn't messed with me yet, but I can look forward to that.I just discovered your blog via Ravelry so have come in at a very important time. Don't think of this as being sick, but as having a knitting opportunity!Diane I am so glad you are on the mend! What an adventure you have had since Borders.
