Me neither, but I just had some.
For about 4 days I was having stomach cramps, but I thought it was indigestion, gas, constipation...I didn't know, but I assumed it was nothing. On about the 4th day though, I started thinking food poisoning just because it had been so long.
Friday afternoon it became unbearable, and I went to the ER. That was some of the worst pain I've ever felt, and I've passed kidney stones. They did a catscan, and found a ruptured appendix. I pretty much had to have surgery right then.
I got out of the hospital yesterday, and already things are mildy crappy.
First of all, I was told by three different people that I had butterfly sutures, and that they would wear off on their own. I took a shower (finally), the bandages came off, and I found staples underneath. So while I'm addled from pain medication and lack of sleep, I have to find the right number to call to find out the procedure for those.
Then, I have 3 scrips. One for pain, and 2 antibiotics. I hurt well pretty much a lot, so I take the pain medication...which also makes me nauseous. What I usually do for that is drink some milk or eat some yogurt, but I can't do that while I'm taking antibiotic number 1...which also gives me volcanic heartburn. I ALSO can't take any antacids, because they contain calcium, which I can't have while taking a-biotic 2. I have to take 1 a-biotic 3 times a day, and one twice, and I have to find the time to take my pain meds or be miserable. If I take them and they make me nauseous enough to puke, there goes 1 or both of my antibiotics. I have to time everything on a rigid schedule and that's NEVER been my strong point, even when I'm not on drugs.
I'll be ok though. I'll just have to be in pain sometimes or have heartburn sometimes, but I HAVE to take my antibiotics. Those will be over in a week, along with the staples.
I can't sit for long, and getting up is a *****. I stand and sleep. Those are my 2 positions. I won't be posting much for about a week or so. Sorry for the Hemmingway-esque war correspondent style, but YEAH.
