User blog:Kgman04/KG's Not Doing Well...

As some of you already know, I came down with a terrible case of appendicitis on Thursday morning. I went to school that day, not knowing how much pain was in store. I managed to make it to the end of third period (11:28AM) before my stomach really started hurting and I couldn't walk much. So, for a large portion of fourth period, I stayed in the Nurse's Office, listening to terrible old-people music.

After fourth period, I went to one more class, then (where I just fell asleep), then my last period class. I went home, dumped my backpack and sweater on the floor, and plopped down on the couch. And I stayed there for the next 26 hours (until 7:00PM Friday).

And at 7PM Friday, I called my father and pleaded that he took me to the ER, because everyone else was either too young or too busy. So, I went to the ER, and I waited for about an hour, had my temperature and weight checked (103F and 113lb). Then I had six tubes of blood squirted out from my arm and into those ridiculously small tubes.

Then I was put into the second waiting room (for people who wait to get a bed in a room), and sat there for about 3 hours. Except, I was taken to have a sonogram (it's the weird cream and handheld thingy that pregnant people have to do), and after about another hour, I was taken back to the second waiting room.

After another couple of hours, I was put in a wheelchair and taken to the eighth floor, room 813 to be exact. There, I finally went to sleep...

...for about two hours. The next day, I had the surgery to have my appendix removed at 8AM. After the doctor came in an hour late, we get started, and since I was loaded with anesthesia, I can't remember those three hours.

Next thing I know, I'm in the recovery room, with a bandage over my lower-right abdomen. There was only one bandage, so I thought nothing of it. Then, I found out that my appendix actually exploded, and that I could've died if I didn't come to the ER sooner.

But, I'm okay for now. I'll be in the hospital until I can walk normally again, which won't be soon since I can barely sit up.

Now, I really don't want this to act as a way to get "pity votes", because that would be extremely wrong. I just want you to know why I haven't been active for the past few days, and that I won't be active for the upcoming week or so.

Well, thanks for reading, I guess. See ya whenever.
