my Appendix is gone !
boo ho. On New Years Eve day I went to hospital with some rather severe upper abdominal pain. It was the first time, I had been given morphene. It made me a bit sick but it made everything rather fluffy :)
It took 48 hours for the pain to localise to the appendix, so then they decided that it was time to cut it out. So they did a laparoscopic (keyhole) jobby. This involved 3 holes. The camera goes in the top one, just under my belly button and two manipulators go in the other. In order to see what is going on with the camera they pump air in. This is let out at the end but some stays inside and is felt as pain in the right shoulder.
I'm really rather bloated. Looks like I'm pregnent. I guess all the swelling will go down in about 4/5 days. Then hopefully I will be fit enough to travel back to Bristol.
