Well, for those wondering where I've been, it went like this.
Feb.24th thursday before midnight - excruciating pain on left side of the stomach
Feb.25th friday 5am - after nearly 6 hours of waiting, I'm admitted into ER of OLR hospital in chicago
doctors can't find out what's wrong, morphine not working, CAT scan not showing a damn thing
Few hours later, receive first Demerol shot for pain, works great, no diagnosis yet
an hour later - surgeon comes in and says that I have an inflamed colon
I get put on antibiotics and taken out of ER into a room
Feb28th monday morning - antibiotics not working, been receiving Demerol 50 (chemical substitute for morphine, very strong pain killer which causes vomoting)
Feb29th tuesday morning - doctor decides to operate not knowing what's wrong with me
after successfull surgery, it's disovered that my apendix was on the left side of my body, a one in a million shot
I got stitches on saturday, and was finally released from the hospital. Recovery is gonna take about a month but at least I'm at home with my family.
Man I've got stories to tell, but I'll leave you guys with a final thought. The pain I felt over the last 11 days I wouldn't wish onto my worst enemy.
Stay healthy guys, and I miss Shane and teknics.
It's good to be back home
