The hospital experience

So I was admitted to hospital on Friday and my appendix removed, drama drama drama!

I had seen a surgeon on Thursday and he diagnosed "Missed Appendicitis" after almost 3 weeks of pain, so off I went with the surgeons letter stating I had appendicitis to the ER Friday morning to be admitted and have surgery...

To start with - I was told they would run my bloods from a week ago and if they were OK then they were not going to admit me, so out I went and called my surgeon. He had arranged it with another surgeon so I went back in and asked to see that surgeon to which I was barked "They know youre here you just have to wait"

I was sent through to be assessed by a doctor about half hour later. The emergency doctor assessed me and agreed to the surgery so FINALLY along came the Surgeons Registrar and the Anethesist to get all my background and tell me all about the operation. - WOOHOO PROGRESS!

I was then taken up to surgical ward and left there to rest up in a bed til about 3:00 when my time came to get to the theatre.
The operation - which was going to be hour and half at the most away from the ward, ended up taking almost 2 hours (3 by the time I got back to the ward) but was successful. The surgeon had removed my appendix - yay!

Waking up was not pleasant, I had a b!tch of a nurse who was barking at me and was not sympathetic at all, and refused Luke entry - even though I was crying for him (he ended up coming in anyway after hearing me asking for him when the door was opened)

The surgeon came and saw me the next day and told me there was nothing wrong with my appendix, and they couldnt see anything else wrong - had noticed I had some swollen lymph nodes, but its a mystery as to why I was in pain.

After an overnight stay and 4 different antibiotics pumped through at various stages I was allowed home. Im relieved that the appendix are gone, and my pain has been instantly relieved - which is great, the only pain I have now is on the incision spots (Was done with keyhole surgery so I have 2 cuts below my belly and one on my belly button)

So thats my ramble about the hospital - I must add not all of the nurses were b!tches, only a few of them.... most of them were very lovely and good fun and did a great job.

Nothing exiting.....

Still home majorly out of it, The pain has not gone away at all, and yet the surgeon still wants me to just rest and see what happens... ugh!!!!
I am in the process of starting a blog for hubby (although I will be the one writing in it) He is building a car from scratch, and looking at the sites he is getting his information from I thought it would be a good idea for him to document the build :)
Anyway as the title suggested - nothing exciting to report!

Im still alive

What a bloody week!!! Went to the doctors last Monday as I was intending and was rushed through to the hospital in Shepp with them thinking I had appendicitis... ugh!
Spent 10 hours waiting around with "Youre definately getting your appendix removed" and then a few hours later"Actually no youre not we will send you for a CAT scan first" and then followed by "Nah all looks normal on the scan" and when asked what they thought was wrong "Dont know Dont Care Cant operate go home"
So I came home that night and preceeded to be in agony for the week. Went back up to ER on Tuesday and was told to go see my GP as they were busy..... Went to the GP, all he could do was give me stronger pain relief (poor bloke)
So Ive ridden it out til now and I am officially over it... The pain ruined my brothers engagement party for me on Sat nite, I ended up going upstairs to bed in agony and missed most of the night :o( Even panadene forte wasnt helping!
So anyway.....
I have another appointment at 4:30 to see another doctor to ask what he thinks (my doctor was not available) as I am still in pain and on week 3 of being away from work I want to get this sorted so life can go back to normal!!! Will update as soon as I know anything!

Ugh

I feel like I am dying...
Tuesday 10am I ate morning smoko at work, by 12:00 I was vomiting violently and felt like crap. Sucked on barley sugars and drank sugar drinks for the rest of the day. Stayed home Wednesday, Thurs, Friday and all weekend and vomiting has finally subsided as of Saturday morning. I am back eating again now but Cramping is worse and it now feels as though I am being stabbed in the right rear and front of my body and also Left rear.
I just wish I could cop a freaking break!
I no longer drink alcohol, I have lost 4.9kg in a few months and managed to keep it off and also been eating a helluva lot more healthier.
Off to the doctors again tomorrow........ Blah!!!!

My executive decision...

Well this blog originally started as a tribute to my weightloss journey... But seeing as though thats gonna be a long haul I figured I would make it about my life journey aswell.
Reader Beware lol

So Im back.....

I recovered my password and I am back :)
Ive cut back on the CS shakes to one a day for breaky and eating relatively healthily otherwise. I figured I wanted to loose the weight slowly and keep it off rather than speedy and risk gaining it all again.
So current weight loss to date is 4.9kg :D
Nothing much else to update...
