I do NOT have appendicitis

I had an interesting day Thursday. I thought I'd busted my hernia loose again so I told my Doctor. He sent me for a CT scan down at Fayetteville. Well, I had the CT scan and KIm and I were leaving. We were already in the car pulling out. Then I get a call from the radiology Dr saying she needs to talk to me.

Of course as a cancer survivor I immediately start thinking the worst. So we go back and she says that according to the CT scan I may have the beginning signs of appendicitis. She thought it was strange that both Kim and I breathed a sigh of relief. But she wanted me to go to the ER and have them look at it. So I go and both the ER doctor and the surgeon look at the CT scan and decide that while my appendix does look a bit discolored there's nothing that causes them to think that it's going to burst.

So they give me a clean bill of health and send me home. I'm thankful that nothing came of it and I'm glad they're being extra careful but what an experience. The nurses in the ER kept asking me why I was there and I told them I wasn't sure, I was sent there by the radiology dept.

Since I'm a disabled veteran I was at VA and the only thing it cost me was a couple of hours and a little bit of worry before I found out why I was sent there. I've had so many surgeries that they don't scare me. Had I needed my appendix out I would have just done and not thought twice about it. Yeah it'd suck and be painful but I'd rather deal with that anytime than deal with cancer again.

So all is back to normal, I'm home and I feel fine. Well my back and shoulder still hurt but those hurt all the time but no pain from my appendix area.

So I'm gonna get off of here....until next time.....Bye!!!!!
