my fun week
so monday, I took Sean to the dentist and came into the office late. I stopped at McDonalds and got a fruit and maple oatmeal and a small mocha frappe. two hours later my stomach really started to hurt. i blamed it on McDonalds, but then the pain got worse and it was all on my right side. plus i didn't think I ate anything really that greasy or disgusting to upset it so badly. I went home a little early, by dinner I had fever and chills and spent most of monday night/early tuesday on the bathroom floor camped out. I chalked it up to a stomach bug.
Tuesday I woke up, my fever had broke but stomach still hurt. I stayed home to be safe. By yesterday morning when the pain on my right side was still there, I knew i had to get it checked out so I called my doc and he told me to go to the ER. After a very long and frustrating day (which you may have seen on FB) the doctor finally came back with my CT scan results and was like "you have appendicitis. you're getting admitted so they can do surgery ASAP, maybe tonight". Then i proceeded to sit alone in a room for almost an hour by myself knowing no details except that I needed surgery. It was a total cluster there.
The surgery only took an hour and they started about 7, I was up in recovery and awake at 8:30. It sucked so bad to be in the hospital by myself the whole time (DH was home with kids and only had time to swing by and drop off my pump and give me a couple hugs). They kept asking "do you have any family here" and I had to say no, which made me feel like a total loser. but then this morning he was able to come back and stay after dropping the kids off at daycare and I got released at about 1:00.
Wow. That sucked. i mean it could have been a lot worse obviously but getting emergency surgery sprung on you when you are sitting there just expecting to get released really shakes you up, plus being away from my kids unexpectedly really made me a sobby mess. luckily I am recovering ok, just sore.

Oh Carrie, you poor thing! I'm so sorry you went through all of that, especially being alone for so long. That just sucks.
I hope you're resting comfortably and your recovery is a smooth one. *hugs*
