I need some mega TCS vibes if you guys can spare them. A little over a week and a half ago I woke up to stabbing, excruciating pains in my left lower abdomen. My dad rushed me to the doctor and then the doctor propmptly rushed me to the ER. 4 doses of dilaudid and one CT scan later the diagnosis came back Diverticulitis & Epiploic Appendagitis. They sent me home with pain meds, 2 incredably strong antibiotics and an appointment with my GI doctor. I saw my GI doctor the next day and he wanted to give the antibiotics a few days to work and see how things were. Fast foward to Wednesday and I was still in a lot of pain so I got a second opinion from another GI doctor in the same practice. He ordered a few more tests, took me off of the antibiotics (which gave me Thrush and put me on an antinflammatory instead to see if that approach helped). He said if I wasn't better by Friday (when I already had another appointment scheduled) to go in. Both GI doctors previously mentioned that a laproscopic surgery might be necessary to remove any dead tissue/etc. (Just pray if I need surgery done that they can do it laproscopically as the recovery time is much quicker than an abdominal incision.) Well I was still in a lot of pain this morning, so I went back to the GI doctor. He was concerned and promptly called a surgeon and they scheduled an appointment for me at 2:15 this afternoon. Neithor GI doctor knows why or what caused this and both recommened the exploratory surgery...so since I've had two opinions, I'm going to go ahead and see what the surgeon says this afternoon when I go in. I have no clue why my body is doing this or what is going on. All I know is that I'm sick, I'm frustrated, and I'm still in a lot of pain.
There's a huge chance I'm having surgery today or very,very soon. Please send some vibes this way.
I'm honestly not sure how much more I can handle right now. I JUST had all of that work done on my heart on the 16 of August...I'm not even fully recovered from that yet. Now, this pops up! All I want to do is finish school and graduate (I was supposed to graduate this month, but because of the heart surgery, that got pushed back a few months...now I might have to sit out even longer. I am beyond frustrated. I know my health comes before a degree...but I'm just frustrated). I just called my boyfriend Jack to make sure things were lined up for him to take care of the furbabies if need be, so at least I know they'll be in good hands. Please send some vibes that if they do the surgery, I recover quickly.
