Just did an Appendectomy

I just came out of surgery. I removed my appendix. It all happened when I felt a pain on my lower side of my abdomen. I waited for two days before I decided to check it out. I went to an internist who asked me to get an ultrasound. The radiologist was explaining to me that all was clear until he arrived at my appendix. He said it was infected and the lymph nodes were also infected. He did not say directly that it needed to be removed but he said for me to go back to my doctor. I went back to the internist who then said he thinks It should be removed but that I should go and see the surgeon first.
The surgeon who I was supposed to see was in the operating room so i saw another surgeon who when he first saw me said it doesn't look like i have an appendix problem since I was not in obvious pain, but after examining me and realzing that i had pain in the area of the appendix he said he would schedule me to do the operation that very day. I went along with what was happening so far. I got to my hospital room and my loved owned were with me when the actual surgeon comes in and says that I didn't look like I needed this operation. He vaguely checks me and prescribes to me some antibiotics and tells me to come back after four days. At this point, I'm really confused!

We decide to go to another hospital for a second opinion. The surgeon who checks me says that from a clinical point of view it is not clear that I am in need of an operation but that I have to do another ultrasound. When the radiologist examines me he immediately says that I do have to do the surgery because my appendix is pretty badly infected. At that point I am pretty convinced that I have to do the surgery. I went back to the surgeons office and he admitted me into the hospital for surgery that night. I got settled in the room and then the surgeon comes in and says that the they decided it would be better to operate in the morning because the staff will be more available if there is any kind of an emergency. The anesthesiologist recommended that idea I think mainly because I have MS. I wasn't to sure of all of that but just went with it.

I didn't' sleep much that night and in the morning at around 9:00 I did my operation. I only remember laying down on the operating table, the anesthesiologist telling me he was putting the drug in my body and then I woke up to the doctor saying my name. The first thing I thought was that I was choking and I barely had any energy to say "I can't breath." They gave me a breathing mask and after a little while I recovered. I felt that way because it turns out they had a tube down my throat which was removed and my throat felt really clogged and uncomfortable.

Anyway, I am back home now. I spent two nights in the hospital and left on the third night. My body feels pretty weak but getting better. I not only have pain in the area of the operation but severe shoulder pain. Both shoulders but mainly the right shoulder. It turns out that's a side effect of the operation. It's great to be home and back in the world of life and movement. It feels great to be with my family! I love life. I love to be alive and moving and healthy. I pray that I will have only gained more strength to live life to the fullest after this incident in my life. I am very grateful for everything and during the whole time I knew that I was going to be fine because I kept talking to God and saying "God I don't know, only you know, guide me."
