Gonna leave this here in case anyone else has this happen to them. Friday I started getting mid upper stomach pain and nausea. I started puking, and the sensation of having to puke got worse when trying to lie down. I thought maybe I ate something or got a stomach flu. However I didn’t have to go to the bathroom.
Called my mom and she came over and palpitated my abdomen and determined I have appendicitis. I started taking amoxicillin and bactrim antibiotics along with some Advil to reduce the inflammation. Felt better but had a little bit of a fever and a tender abdomen. Saturday I felt the same, off and on nausea and pain in the lower right side of my belly. I was instructed to not eat solid foods so I just had chicken noodle soup for every meal. Today I still felt the same so my mom instructed me to go to the hospital and get a CT scan. I’ve been here all day. The dr there confirmed the appendicitis and I was put on iv fluids and antibiotics. He said I’ll need surgery.
Long story short they transferred me to another hospital that was in network with my insurance. They had to ride me in the ambulance, so that was fun. Got to talk to the EMT who had some crazy stories. Anyway, at the second hospital the surgeon there took a look at my scans and told me he’s gonna hold off on surgery and keep me overnight on the iv antibiotics and see if the infection goes away. That was a relief.
I thought about some of you guys that have had to go through much more serious things the last couple of years. Man, even a little appendicitis had me get a little estrogenic thinking “what if.” Mad props to you guys, you know who you are, for soldiering on.
Enough with the soap opera - the point is, get checked out immediately and get on some antibiotics if you feel like I felt. Better to catch it early and avoid complications.
