What the appendectomy....

Yeah that's right, I got my stupid appendix removed. Randomly, and because I'm just so lucky, I had to go into surgery for the second time this year. It all started early Sunday morning around 4 am, I woke up with a stomach ache that was just NOT NORMAL. So after hoping for a miracle and ralphing a couple of times, I woke up Kerby around 8 am and headed for St. George. By the way, that drive from Diamond to the hospital was probably the longest drive ever!!!

Arriving at the hospital I got all registered and what not, sat naked (practically) on a horrible bed, had an IV started by a douche bag, finally got scanned at 11 am, and the verdict was my appendix. So I got admitted and then went into surgery around 4 or 5 pm. I had to stay in the hospital (against my will) that night and then the next day till about 2 pm when the surgeon finally showed up. What a joke!!

So far I'm not in a lot of pain, I just can't move around very well. It so miserable relying on everyone to do things for you and being unable to sit down without help. ITS RETARDED!!! After my gallbladder was removed I thought that this would be cake but being that the incisions were in a totally different spot and a lot closer to my hip joints, I can't really move. As of now its been 5 days since the surgery and I'm no where near how well I was recovered last time.

Sigh.... Oh well, I am hoping to be back at work by Wednesday of next week but who knows. The two things I have realized is that I have an amazing husband and family!!! Kerby has been the greatest guy taking care of me and cleaning up around the house. Plus now with him in school he's been really busy catching up and learning lots of new stuff. So hopefully there won't be anymore surgeries anytime soon and we can have a little bit of normalcy in our lives. I'm predicting that 2009 will be the year of the Leany's and lots of good things will be happening!!!

Oh!!! And by the way 'da-lod-did', its a pain medication, is the greatest thing in the world!! Fantastic!!
