On Saturday the third of April me and my mom went to Jo-Ann's fabrics for some fabric because my aunt decided to make my ozian dress for my Wizard of Oz performance. So while we were looking for the patterns for the dress my side started to hurt lower right side my moms like point with one finger to where it hurts I point to my appendix. She didn't looked to thrilled with me.Technically she does not believe me that much in other situations like this one.So the next day Easter I looked worst than ever super pale and my side more in pain than ever before. I took my shower it hurts really bad now.For most of my Easter day I was laying on the couch with my relatives over then I realized I had to move to the basement with my cousins.I wasn't to happy when I was called for Easter Dinner my Grandma a retired nurse online was really start I had appendicitis I ate my dinner calmly not having much of anything for my side hurt to badly.Later I Came up stairs sobbing in worst pain then ever before I laid on the couch motionless could not bare it any longer I sat up gently and ask my dad for a bowl by the time he was back with the bowl it was soon enough I vomited into the bowl crying again my mom looked up the symptoms for appendicitis they were vomiting,diarrhea,stomach pain in lower right side,back pain, low fever. I had all of those except for two diarrhea and low fever. My Grandma said it's time to take her to the E.R. I personally did not want to go to the E.R when we got there it was jam packed with people with broken bones, deep cuts, and sick people. I got my band with my name and date of birth. They took me into the little area where they take your weight and your blood pressure. When I was done with that two hours went by and it was already 9:00 pm at night hoping soon they would get me a room as soon as possible. My dad however was getting very crabby that some people came after us and they were going before us. So he got up and went to the desk and complained they said sorry and that we were next that would skip one person before me to get me in to the room. When we finally got into the room I was waiting and I was super tired and I could not stand to stay awake a minute crazy night at the E.R. When I woke up the doctor came in I was just barely staying awake to hear what he was saying to my dad.So then the trauma nurse came and taught me how they put a I.V in I was watching they numbed it so I could not feel the needle go through me which was probably a good thing or I would of freaked out.When she was done she didn't hook me up to the bag because I was going to the Ultra Sound to get it checked out in the Ultra Sound she saw some liquid flowing that didn't look normal although she saw that she could not find my appendix. So she suggested to get a C/T scan personally I didn't feel like going through that either.But it as she said was more precise so my dad said yes it was super cold in the C/T room with chills going through my body wishing all I had was a nice warm blanket.Surely enough they found my appendix and it was really inflamed. So by the time I was done with my C/T scan I was ready to go back to the my E.R room.When I was on my way back with my dad and the blood work guy said he would be with us in a minute I hope he took forever on the other hand I was very tired. But I guess I didn't fall asleep enough quickly cause he came with the needle and tube. He told me there was two ways of doing it first way was the regular way without numbing spray and second was a prick of the finger.At first I wanted to get the finger prick.But then he said or we can do the regular way with the numbing spray I said yes to that cause I didn't want to feel a thing I have little problem with getting needles put in me. So when he was done he left. Then I layed back down and I fell back to sleep by then it was already 1:00 am my dad still watching T.V I had told him to turn off the sound cause I really was getting crabby to.By 3:30 am they were still very clueless what was going on with me. So they told us that they were giving me a room.They put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me off to my room in the new west tower on the ninth floor my room said W905.They put me in the bed gently the nurse started to teach me how to work the bed and the remote for the T.V the room was very nice you could tell they just made it there was even a PlayStation 3.I feel a sleep quickly and at 6:00 am the surgeon came in and started to examine me and said were going to the surgery.My eyes widened he told me that it is not like the old surgery where they make a two to three inch scar. He told me they were going to make three incisions and one was deep down in my belly button. He told me I would not feel a thing I would be put to sleep so I would not feel a thing.So still very thirsty my I.V was beeping so I called the nurse in the room to fix it so I would have more liquid flowing through my body even though I didn't know I was super hydrated though because of my I.V..At 10:00 am they said they were ready to do my surgery so they called up two nurses that wheeled me in my bed to the holding room . The room before you do the surgery.My mom was talking to anthisolist and the surgeon that would be doing my surgery.The anthisolist put the sleeping medcine through my I.V. it burned alot before I fell into my deep sleep she asked me what kind of sleeping gas do you want I said strawberry they said ok.What I don't remember is actually getting switched to the gernie and going to the surgery room.When I woke up the nurse that wakes people up from their deep sleep told me I was all done my eyes were like a kalidoscope everything looked funny.She had told me my mom was on her way. Then this little obnoxuis baby was crying while I was in there.All I said is I want to go back to room where it's peacful and quiet.When my mom came she told me it was not my appendix it was a cyst that twisted which caused the horrible pain. But they took it out anyway.My eyes still like a kalidoscope were bugging me because it was getting me dizzy they handed me a little container vile came up.So when I was back in my room I fell asleep with still some of the sleeping gas in me.When I woke up I rose up a little to see what happened to me.I had little tape things on two of them but on my belly button I had a cotton ball inside of it and a huge bandaid over it.I Guess it was portecting it from bleeding.My aunt and grandma came that day I had not eaten since Easter.So I ordered some bowtie pasta and a milkshake it taste good on my throat because they put a tube down my thoart not very fun they took it out before I woke up.When they left I already had fallen asleep my brother and my dad left as well.The next day when I woke I heard thunder cracking in the sky and lighting come through my shade.As I turned on the T.V. trying find a show I liked and I foundone Everybody Hates Chris as I watched that the student nurse came in.She gave some candy.5 starburst,a cadbury egg,snickers,and,reese peanut butter cups.I only ate the starburst and the egg. So later that day I got to go have another Ultra Sound just to compare to my cyst from now three weeks just to make sure.So then she gave us the doctors orders and told me I cant do physically activites.So I got changed brushed my teeth and returned home.That is my story of the worst spring break ever
P.s: I had to miss my trip to Colorado for this to happen I could barely walk
It sounds as though you have the same incision areas as I had when I had my surgery! The belly button incision took awhile to heal - I hope you're healing quickly!
