So if anyone is still reading this I have been gone for a while now. So let's start from the beginning...
On January 27th (Wednesday) I went (against my better judgement) to the ER for what I assumed was endo pain. The doctor was great and set me up with an IV for pain meds and gravol right away. But he ordered an ultrasound just to b safe. The ultrasound showed that my appendix were leaking, so I was admitted and put on super strong antibiotics.
So I was not allowed to eat while in the hospital. But for some reason the doctor decided not to remove my appendix and to just keep me on antibiotics. So I was discharged on Saturday and told to come back if I had more pain, got sick or got a fever. And you guessed it 8 hours later we were back in the ER throwing up with a fever in horrible pain.
So was admitted again... more antibiotics and no surgery. And I had a CT Monday morning. The CT didn't even find my appendix so I was sent home again.
Tuesday I went to see my family doctor for a follow up. I was still having horrible pain and had a fever. So she sent me right back to the ER. So another ultrasound was done and my appendix looked a little inflamed but nothing crazy but I was admitted just to be safe.
So the surgeon eventually came to see me and after a lot of discussion he agreed to take out my appendix just so they would no longer be an option when I had pain. It was something so I went into surgery sometime between Feb 5th and 6th. Ya I was in the hospital for 3 weeks!
So they were taken out and the surgeon mentioned he did see endo while he was in there.. and get this. They sent my appendix to pathology for the heck of it.. IT WAS FULL OF ENDOMETRIOSIS!!!!!!!!
So ya, I was home recovering for a week after that and went back to work this past Tuesday.
I am forever tired and cannot wait to get my stitches out tomorrow morning!
