Good morning, I’ve had some pain in my right side since Saturday and a few weeks ago. I had pain for a little while too. So last evening I asked Tom to take me to the hospital. I do have appendicitis, so here I am.

Does anyone have experiences to share.? Would appreciate prayers!

 

[Snowysmom]

Bobbiwoz Sorry to hear you are in the hospital. My only experience with appendicitis is my younger DS when he was a teen. He had the laparoscopic surgery, was back home the next day, and did really well,. Wish you the same.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Thank you @Snowysmom !

 

[easyas123]

Sorry to hear that Bobby, my only experience with it is similar to snowy. My brother had his appendix out a few years ago and was back in the office the next day. No problems with what he eats that I know of..

@bobbiwoz prayers sent for a quick and speedy recovery

 

[bobbiwoz]

New news

Treatment
The infection seems to be walled off... so alternative to surgery is drains ...I would have a drain in for x amount of time. Appendix monitored during draining.

If it hadn’t formed the abcess… the infection would have spread so
This is a better case.

I am very tired, happy to be past the initial, procedure, it was well explained. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Many prayers dear Bobbi and a hug!

@footballmouse - hope you feel better soon!

@bobbiwoz - good that you are getting care and that the infection is not spreading. I know little about this, other than a younger brother getting his removed about 50 plus years ago.

 

[Snowysmom]

Bobbiwoz Hope the treatment is working and you are feeling better.

Good Morning. It is 33 here now with temps again going into the 50s. Tomorrow it is supposed to be around 70 and for Halloween temps will be in the mid 70s. I like the cooler more brisk weather. I walked at the lake yesterday and really enjoyed the cooler air. This is my week to not have to go into the office but my boss is not feeling well so I may have to go in. She hasn't said yet that she is not able to go in but I am just preparing myself just in case. I need to go next week, which would be week anyway, as I have an appt in the area. So far my every other week not worked out for various reasons.

Have a good day.

@bobbiwoz - Wow! - Glad they caught it at an "easier" stage, but it must have been really scary. Hope you are doing great soon!

@footballmouse - Sorry you missed Mia-time. Hope she posed for good pics and you are feeling better soon as well!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Thank you all! I have a drain, this is new to me. It was a night with many wake ups, but today is a new day. Pain about #3, but with drips in both arms, and I use a walker, getting around requires help.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Continuing extra loving and healing prayers dear Bobbi and the same to you dear Footballmouse in feeling better. Dear Lynn, prayers by now you are all well.

Tuesday joy to all.

 

[footballmouse]

Happy Tuesday.

Bobbiwoz - glad the appendix issue is being taken care of quickly. I'm sure the drain will take a lot of getting used to. How long will you have that?

I'm feeling mostly better, I just have this horrible cough that I need to get rid of.

Watched the World Series last night. I can't make it until the end for any of the games, way too late for me. Dumbo - I bet your dad is happy about the outcomes of the games!

Garbage day this morning so last night I cleaned all the litter boxes and the backyard. Fed the pond fish and then played with the dogs. It's kinda funny to watch little Buster play ball. Little dogs are so quick and he just flies through the yard (and house).

Taking the day off work tomorrow, wasn't planning to but that's how it ended up. Tomorrow is my regular work from home day and I have a dr's appointment that I was going to use my lunch break for. Well Tiana (who is renamed to Pearl) has surgery tomorrow and she needs to spend the night. I asked if I could also work from home Thursday so I could pick her up in the morning. Keep in mind, the other girl in the office gets to work from home twice a week. Anyway, at first I was told that would be fine. About an hour later I get an email saying I could just switch my days. I told my boss that solution didn't help my situation so I'll just take PTO for tomorrow. This office is so ridiculous anymore. I texted a friend of mine who used to work in this office and told her to meet me in the cafeteria for a cookie (they make fresh baked cookies). We get there and we were too early for the cookies! I couldn't catch a break yesterday.

Have a great day!

Good morning. Going to be 69 today, and in the 80's the next 2 days. My friend in CO is having the opposite, their high tomorrow will be 41 with snow showers and a freeze warning and a low of 29 tomorrow night. She's originally from NJ, so she's a die hard Yankees fan (right down to a Yankees tattoo), and she was almost crying last night at how bad they are doing in the World Series.

Summer is leaving around noon for the 7 1/2 hour drive to KY to drop her husband off. They're finding a cheap motel for the night, and then she's heading home tomorrow morning. I hope she doesn't have any car issues.

I got the whole cat house put together in less than 30 minutes yesterday. The replacement one they sent for the missing parts is arriving today. I contacted the company who sells them, and they're saying I ordered one without the liner. Uh, no, I went by the description on Chewy (which THEY gave to Chewy) and it most definitely says there's a liner for the inside and a fleece mat for the bottom. I told them they are listing false information and they need to send me a liner and mat. They're telling me to contact Chewy for help. I did, which is why they sent a replacement, and I can guarantee this one will be missing the same things. If Chewy can't do anything, I'll contact the consumer protection office at the Attorney General for MD and see if they can do something about it.

Off to get the trash out and take a nap. It was 4:30 am when I fell asleep and woke up at 8 to feed the cats.

Have a good day


Edited to add. Second house just arrived with same missing parts. I contacted Chewy, who issued me a $75 refund. He told me when I get the one I ordered for Summer for Christmas on Friday, to call him back and they will issue one for that also. He put a note on my account about it so I won't have any issues. They are contacting the company and filing a complaint about the incorrect information, which came directly from the company and not Chewy.
They have the BEST customer service ever!

Ok…I just learned from a doctor that the appendix will have to come out. The important thing is to get rid of this infection.

@flyingdumbo127, I am also happy the National League is winning in the WS!

Sorry you have to go through all this!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Extra hug and prayers dear Bobbi. I am truly extra grateful to God this was caught early. Please take care of yourself! We all love and are here for you.

Dear Footballmouse, coughs are the worst. I am so sorry yours is prolonged. Dad and I have found Werthers Originals help some plus they tastd good. Feel better and yes dad is very Dodger happy.

Dear Lynn, I'm sorry about your friend. I do know someone who is that Dodger struck. As I said in the beginning I sincerely wish both teams well and do feel badly only one can win. Yay to Chewy!

Evening hug to all.

 

[Snowysmom]

Bobbiwoz I hope everything goes well and you are feeling better soon.

Footballmouse I hope your cough goes away soon. Coughing alot is the worst and seems to take a while to go away.

Good morning. A bit warmer this morning at 50 and temps going to 70. It rained a bit over night. We can use the rain. I lost power yesterday for 5 hours. I was out doing errands and was on the street to my condo and there were barricades blocking the road up to the condo. I did not know another way to get there but I knew there was a back way. So I drove and tried a couple of different ways. I got my navigation system on and found the road I was looking for. It is a long narrow windy road that took me on the street to my condo, just above my condo. So now I know a second way. My duplex neighbor and I texted back and forth most of the outage. Her DD sent a message that was on the police facebook page that there was a rollover accident a couple of miles up the road from us and it caused the outage. Kenny said to come to his house if I wanted to but I did not want to drive the windy narrow roads in the dark. The power came back on around 8:30 pm so I was happy. My supper was a mishmosh of peanuts, pistachios, and some snacky items. Not the best but I was not opening the fridge until power came back for awhile.

Off to work. Have a good day.

 

[bobbiwoz]

@Snowysmom, so glad you found an alternative way to your condo, and your electricity came on without any damage to your refrigerated food.

@footballmouse , I sure hope your cough gets better soon.

I don’t know any more about my condition, so nothing to say. Drain is working, I get antibiotics through the drip, and my pain level stays a 3.

Looking forward to Tom’s visit.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Dear Bobbi, big my friend. I liked your post because thank God you are getting needed care and the drain is working. Enjoy Tom's visit and please take care

Dear Snowysmom, what a harrowing ordeal. Power prayers indeed. I'm of course so thankful you are okay, my friend

Good Morning everyoneWishing each of you a happy day in some way. I will check back later.
