Well, I’m home. Going to bed now.

The doctor told me I can go home. I have to wash out the wound 3 times a day and take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs for about a week.

I’m now waiting to be discharged so I can go home.

Was rolled out of the operation room around 23:00, and into the recovery room. And around midnight back to the normal room. Operation was good and clean. It looks like I might go home today.

I feel fine, no queeziness, no pain (oother than ofcourse the wound in my side). I even had some tea & biscuits at 4 in the morning.

Ok, so it is appendicitis, and I was going to get operated on 6 hours ago, but the surgery before mine went into overtime and then someone came along who just had to have a c-section and was given my spot.

It’s now 6 hours after I was going to get my appendix removed and I still got it. It’s not exactly going as planned. This point in time also marks 31,5 hours without food or drink.

So the doc’s just been round. He was coming in to tell me they’re going to take me away to surgery, but since the constant pain’s deminished they’re not that keen on it anymore. The ct scan did show an enlarged appendix which would indicate appendicitis, but because the pain’s deminished so much since yesterday, they’re having another chat about it.

It’s now 23 hours since last I ate something and they’re serving lunch. But I’m still not getting anything to eat. I’m starving!

CT scan went alright. They gave me a cd with the scan on it. I just can’t view it now because my Eee doesn’t have a cd drive.

No news yet, waiting on the doctor…

The night went by alright I suppose. I don’t think I’ve kept the other people in my room awake by my snoring. They gave me painkillers in suppository form, but I didn’t take it. Don’t quite like that.

They took another 3 vials of blood this morning and I had to give another urine sample. It’s not easy taking a wee when you haven’t had anything to drink over the past 16 hours. The saline drip is providing me with water, so at least I won’t dehydrate.

I thought they were gojng to take me to the ct scan @ 10:00, but it’s passed that time now and still nothing.

More to come.

or not. At the beginning of november the girl who I love(d) very much broke up with me for reasons I still do not know (or understand). So I haven’t been sleeping well lately at all. Then ofcourse my birthday came ’round and I didn’t have a special someone to celebrate with. In fact, I didn’t celebrate it at all. All of a sudden she wasn’t sure she still loved me, had to think about it for a few days. So I waited a few days. A few days apparently meant 2,5 weeks and when I explained how I (still) felt she just appeared to have lost all feelings of affection toward me. And that was that.

I suspect she’s found someone else but I’m not going to ask, and she’s not going to tell me apparently. I do see her every (working)day, cuz we’re colleagues, but we hardly ever talk anymore. It’s like she’s turned into the ice queen.

And now I am writing this from a wireless connection on the 7th floor of a hospital with an iv-drip in my arm because I might just have appendicitis. Or it could be something with my liver, or pancreas. After 3 examinations and 3 blood tests they (the medical professionals) are still not sure what’s going on.

So, great to be me, isn’t it?

This will be my first overnight stay in a hospital, not something I look forward to of repeating. Thank god I have my Eee with me or else I’d be bored to death.

Tomorrow I’m taking the CT scanner for a spin. Let’s see what they find.

I haven’t eaten that much today, in fact, today and yesterday all day I’ve eaten less than my usual breakfast. Last time I had something to drink was early this afternoon. I haven’t eaten or drunk anything since then. And I’m not going to get anything here either because if they do want to operate on me tomorrow and I ate anything they’ll have poop to deal with. So I’m starving…
