{006}

So since my last entry so much has happened to me and my family. But I'm just going to let you know what I went through. My last entry was the 24th of November and that next day on the 25th I went to the hospital because of the pain in my right side. So after blood tests, an ultra sound, and a doctor pushing on my stomach they found out that I had a horrible enflamed gallbladder. So I had to have surgery the next day and I did at 10am or so. They didn't fully cut me open instead they made 2 big incisions and one small one to get it out and then they put the drainage tube in me to drain out the infection.

So I stayed one more night in the hospital and I got to come home on Thanksgiving morning but I didn't move around/eat much. I had the drainage tube in for two weeks until today when I had it removed. I was hugely naive and thought that it was only long enough to be right where my gallbladder used to be. HAH! The doctor pulled out at least a FOOT to a FOOT AND A HALF of tubing out me; needless to say my body hated that. It felt like every organ in my body had heartburn at the same time, I was horribly nauseated, I was really hot and sweating but they had the AC on so I freezing at the same time, it stung, burned, and felt like the entire inside of my body threw up. Apparently it was snaked near or around my ribs because it felt like the tubing was ribbed but according to my sister it wasn't.

I am finally home and over this whole ordeal but sadly I forgot to ask my Doctor for a note for my Math teacher. I need one in order to make up my final exam and quizzes that I had missed the pass 10 ten days. I need to go to Kent State tomorrow to drop off a paper to my math teacher that will partially help me make up my math final/quizzes.

*sigh* I need to go now. I'm still a bit tired and my ribs are highly sore my inside still hasn't gotten used to not having that huge ass snake of a tube in my body.
