Registered User Posts: 2173 10/07/2009 15:39	Tags : None Hi Guys, I am very thankful I am still in the land of the living! Sept. 22 I went to the grocery and started having a stomach ache. It got worse and worse so I went home. I got straight to bed. That Friday I went to the doctor. He gave me antibiotics and sent me home. I got a little better and Tues. the 29th I went to a scheduled appt. I had with the doctor. He sent me to the hospital for X-rays. Then admitted me. A little while later a nurse rushed in and said she knew what was wrong with me....I had a ruptured appendix. Very soon "Code Blue" went into effect and they were running and pushing me on a guerney to the operating room "STAT". I had tubes going back and forth to places I never knew I had and had to be stuck so many times since I have bad veins. It was an Adventure to Hell and Back! I had no food and nothing but ice chips from Sept. 29 to Oct. 4. Then when I could eat it wasn't worth it....yucky stuff!! Jerry says I have to forget all of that now and get well. It will be a long hard struggle...but I'll get there! I'm back home to the people I love, the house I love and my computer. Don't know when we will get back to Tunica but we will come back as soon as we can. Anne

A good friend of mine just had emergency surgery for her appendix just last week, too. She went to the doctor's, and was sent by ambulance to the hospital, and they were doing surgery just a couple hours later. Please take care. I am sure you are glad to be back home where you belong. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you recover. Carol

He came thru with flying colors and feels so, so much better now. I wondered what you meant on another post where you said if you get better by then, you'd meet Tom and Mike and Brandy. I thought, Ok what post did I miss and what's wrong with Anne. I'm glad you posted this or I would have been hunting forever thru old posts. Get well soon! Aretta (aka Simmie)

Don't even think about slacking on any of the antibotics cause you are open to a lot of infections. See you in Tunica when you feel like hitting the slots again. At least you can't blame the Fitz buffet.

I prefer the ostrich approach to feeling bad, "if you ignore it long enough it will go away". Which I'm now finding out isn't really the best approach to have as we get older.

You may have to tell Jerry it could take 6 months to a year before you can do any lifting, so he will need to handle the housework. Just kidding Jerry, she will be up and about in no time.

Registered User Posts: 2173 11/05/2009 23:03	Last Thurs. I had my after surgery visit to the Surgeon's office. He said I was okay now. He said my appendix had ruptured a week before I went to the doctor's. He said if the appendix had been pointing toward the front I wouldn't have lived to see the doctor but it was pointed toward the back which is rare. For some reason because of the way it was pointed, I am here as good as new to live another day. I am so thankful to have had such a good doctor to find me a great surgeon and to feel so well today!
