my major appendix surgery on 29 January 2009/Thursday


yes,yes,yes,i know,surgery!


it all started with a little bit of a headache on Wednesday in the evening. i had a pill but when wanting ti get cozy on the sofa - i couldn't! it stated to get hurt in my lower part of my stomach. i fell asleep pretty fast,but when had to get up later in the night-couldn't get back to sleep because i could not lay down on the stomach. it literally felt like i was laying down on a tennis ball. in the morning i was about to have my breakfast when my mom was seriously started to make a point that i might be having problem with my appendix. i called Jonathan and asked him to immediately arrive home from work and bring me to the ER. he did! it took a little while to get all the papers done so they could take me in(man,it really took like 3-4 hours). Jonathan,my mom and Katrina went home when i was about to be taken by a nurse to go my room.....where,again,i was awaiting for help,for like another 3 hours. good thing there was a TV and i could call for help any time. they were lucky enough that my condition didn't get worse and my appendix didn't feel like bursting yet!!! they took the whole body scan of mine and i waited another 2 hours for my results. in some time a surgeon showed up!!!! boy,that was a sign of a relief. he told me all what he was planning to do to me(yeah,sounds weird but true :-) after he left - everything seemed to be going suuuuuuper fast.............................they rolled fast in the halls,they rolled me in an elevator,brought me in a surgical room,put me on a "special" bed.....................told me basic info about the procedure,gave me something to started breathing....................and i was............................gone asleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! i woke up feeling like ecxactly like you get to see people in the cool movies....thinking that you are awake,but can't really talk....or even more over.....to MOVE. they brought me back to my room for a recovery time with 3 holes on my belly....>>>>>if you are interested in details what and how they did it,i asked it all,be sure :-) then let me know,i'd love to tell you all<<<<<


whew,almost done........i spend the whole day on Thursday and morning on Friday in the hospital. there were a couple of times when sergeants came by to check on me and by around 11:30am i was released....yay,me!!!!


right now i am at home,moving around so verrrrry slowly. i am not supposed to lift anything heavy for almost 3 months. my stitches are hurting me not letting me doing anything :-(


Jonathan is helping a lot with the baby duties and my mom is doing all the other works around the house.


thank you much ,everyone,who gave me a call,got to see me,brought chocolate chip cookies and flowers. it is all being appreciated a lot.
