I have M.I.A. lately

On Tuesday I left work to go to the doctor. Thought I needed an x-ray. My friend convinced me to go to the hospital, because they have more testing machines and I wouldn't have to wait to see what was wrong with me. I told her that I would probably be discharged immediately after they told me I just had gas. Needless to say I was in surgery within 24 hours.

I had tons of gall stones, pancreantitis and my liver started shutting down. How does that even happen when I thought I had gas pain??? I am grateful to my friend who made me go, because the Doctor told me that if I had waited any longer, all my organs would have shut down by the weekend. So I sit here, stitches in my belly button and scattered through my stomach, minus a gall bladder, eating my jello, bored out of my mind.

Time to take some happy pills and take a nap. In case you guys were wondering were I was, I am either on my couch or in my bed. LOL

glad you're okay though. thank god you went in to get it checked out!

Yes indeed thank god your friend made you go!!! hope you feel better soon!!!

I was playing my harmonica in the ER. I am sure they are happy I am home now. My surgeon told me I look way too healthy to be as sick as I was. Damn pain tolerance. I had no idea. My friend gave me no choice. She drove me and stayed there to make sure I didn't leave. LOL Thanks for the well wishes. I will be home for a while. No allowed to do much, so feel free to play Words with friends with me. All my games were recently deleted. Need new scrabble buddies.
