Under the Knife - Back from the Hospital
posted January 19th, 2010 by Stacey

Another one of life’s little twists……

When I went to sleep on Friday night I wasn’t asleep for very long because I was awaken in the night by intense abdominal pain.  I tried to shake it off, but it didn’t go away.  Long story short, I was in the hospital overnight on Saturday, was taken by ambulance to another hospital Sunday morning for an ultrasound, the doctor that looked at my ultrasound said “you’re getting your appendix out today” and I was in the operating room out like a light in less than 2 hours having my appendix removed.  I returned home from hospital yesterday and am moving veeeeeeeeery slooooooowly.  Thank goodness for doctors and the accessibility we Canadians have to great medical care.  An appendix apparently isn’t something you should mess around with because if it ruptures, it’s not a pleasant scenario.

It’s a good thing this didn’t happen during wedding season, because I can’t do any heavy lifting for 6 weeks!

I am just getting to all my emails now, so if you feel like I have been ignoring you don’t worry I’m not - I will write back to you very soon.
