No more appendix

So I haven't posted in a while cause I've been busy having fun. Apparently that time I went to the ER 2 months ago I probably had appendicitis, and since nothing was done about it at the time, last week on Friday my appendix burst. I went to radiation as usual at noon, but in great pain. The doctor on call there that day checked me out and told me to head to the ER.

Well, it took them 9 hours to finally actually do anything with me other than either make me wait in pain at the entrance for hours, or wait in the halls in pain for hours. They kept saying they would give me pain medication, but it took a LONG time to happen. You'd think doctors walking past would pay attention to the bald cancer girl crying her eyeballs out and screaming. Not just walk past without even looking...

Anyway, they finally decided to give me a CAT scan. But since I'm allergic to iodine contrast, they couldn't give me that. They tried to get me to drink that chalky crap (which was the important part anyway) but I've never been able to keep it down in the past when I felt good. So obviously I just threw it up. So they decided to just give me a CAT scan but said it would only see anything if it was REALLY serious, so most likely there would be nothing. Well, 5 minutes after my CAT scan the head nurse came and told me I had appendicitis. It was so bad it lit up the on the scanner without any form of contrast. Surgeon came down, checked me out, and decided I needed surgery right then. They would do the surgery laprascopically, making 3 incisions and use a camera to help them take out the appendix. A very quick and easy surgery. However, when they went in, they soon saw that it was much much worse and would have to actually cut me open. Apparently my appendix had burst and was barely hanging on to my colon at that point. I was filled with pus and lots of infection. So yeah...

Well, I spent 4 nights at the hospital, just got home today. I'm still in a LOT of pain. I have 2 small wounds, one medium sized one, and one on my side that is quite large and the main source of pain. I guess I got out of my test on Monday... I was actually looking forward to studying for it cause studying for a test is soo soo soo much better than chemotherapy. I was excited, damn it! Have to figure out how I'm going to catch up, but it'll be 2 weeks I think till I can get back to class. See what happens.
