So I almost died this week.

[AmazingGrace]

Monday was supposed to be my first day teaching preschool this year. Sunday night, I was feeling normal when I went to bed.
In the middle of the night, I woke up with the worst pain I had ever had in my belly, right near my belly button. Going to the bathroom, position changes, nothing soothed it for very long. Then I started vomiting and noticed that my pain had moved to my right side. I thought, 'oh great! Appendicitis, just what I need'. Went to the ER and it turned out my small bowel has become twisted and there were multiple adhesions. I ended up having four inches of bowel resected and had never been so sick. The doctors told me after surgery that it didn't look for my chances and if there had been any blood supply cut off, it could have been fatal.
The oddest thing about this whole experience is that my Mother died at the same age I am now of the same thing and Tuesday was the 25th Anniversary of my father's death. This week has been filled with prayer and lots of praise and worship music singing me to sleep. God blessed me nightly, giving me the discernment to seek help and allowing good skilled doctors to be able to save me.

Thank goodness you listened to that inner voice (which was probably your DM) telling you to get to the ER.
I had kinda the same thing happen to me in Oct of 2009. I went to ER with stomach pains. Ended up I had a serious gall bladder infection. I was admitted immediately. After being on antibiotics for a couple of days, my gall bladder was finally removed on my late DM's birthday!
