Appendix Saga

For those that want the whole story...

(short version: I had my appendix out last Wednesday...it hurt but I'm on the mend!)

Last Wednesday I woke up and thought I ate something that didn't agree with me, it was my 3rd day back at work since maternity leave so I figured it would be really weak of me to call in sick. I went to drop Anne off at my mom's house and when I got there I was doubled over in pain. I knew I'd never make it into the office! It felt like I was in labor again...yes painful. Ironically, my mom wasn't feeling well either, we thought maybe we both ate something and had food poisoning. We called the Dr. and made an appointment. I handed Anne over to my Dad and went to lay down.
As I was laying down the pain was worse, REALLY bad in fact. I called Mike, he left work and drove over. I didn't think I could make it until the appointment so Mike and I went to the hospital. I am not one for the drama but I couldn't handle the pain.

After a battery of tests they determined my appendix was inflamed and needed to come out. By 6 that evening I was in surgery less one appendix.

Meanwhile, my sister and dad were trying to keep Anne entertained because my mom was sick with a fever (she's much better now).

Hopefully this is MY last trip to the hospital for a long time!

Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers, all is well that ends well, I am almost back to normal.

Here's a pic of Mike and Anne bonding while I recover...
