Well in my last post i said id tell you all about Spain. Spain was really great. The hotel was lovely, the journey there was good although i get a bit nervous. The weather was fantastic, and it was so nice to relax. Even when i got the start of a cold while there i didnt mind as it didnt actually feel as bad as the weather was so nice. Our flight back to Brum was about lunch time on the sunday. The flight back was good apart from that my ears felt like someone was sticking pins in them as my cold was blocking my ears and the air pressure wasnt helping matters. Anyway we arrived in Brum and my dad was there to take us back to my parents for tea before heading off home.
That evening my stomach started to really hurt. I wasnt sure whether it was a bit of a stomach bug to go with my cold or that lovely time of the month. I took some tablets and eventually got to sleep. I was working a 2-8 at work but by 4.30 i had to leave work as i was in so much pain. JT took me home and i headed off to bed. Tuesday for some stupid reason i went into work. I always feel guilty if im off and didnt want them to think i was being lazy.
I was finishing work at 7.30 as it was week four of the marriage prep course at church. My stomach was still really hurting and during the break i said to JT that i was going to have to ring the emergency doctor. The doctor suggested that we pop over to see him at the hospital so he can take a look at what was going on. To be totally honest i just thought he would find i had trapped wind or something. That he would press my stomach, id fart and be sent off home with a red face lol. It wasnt however and so when he said i would have to be admitted i was more than a little shocked. It was going on for about 11ish by this point. Both me and JT were really tired. JTs eyes were getting sore with his contacts and mine were getting sore as i was at this point crying in pain.
It took them 4 attempts to get a needle into my arm and by the time i actually got onto the ward it was after 1am. Poor JT he looked really worried and i felt so bad that he then had to drive home.
The next day i was able to have a quick shower as they said they might have to operate. I was due to have a scan and they needed to work out whether it was my appendix or something else.
By teatime they had confirmed it most likely was my appendix and they would be removing them that evening. I have never broken a bone nevermind had an operation and it was all a bit scary at this point. JT had rang my parents and there were going to be driving up first thing so they could be here which was wonderful. Unfortunatly though the kennels were full so they also had to bring up Max the dog.
Im going to carry on part 2 on another entry so this one doesnt get too big and you also get the chance to have a breather :-)
