Well, the lower abdomen pains hit me on Sunday night but I didn't know what the hell was going on.  It then went away for the most part the next few days but it came back even stronger on Wednesday night.  I then decided not to wait any longer and went to the ER.  Turns out I was right about it being Appendicitis after they ran blood, urine, and CT scan.  The doctor that was going to preform the surgery thought it may have ruptured already even though I was still feeling a lot of pain (usually the pain goes away after it burst).  I never experienced any nausea the entire time though.  I was mainly just feeling pretty bad pain sometimes extreme and bloated.  Feeling a lot better now and going to relax watch TV and play some Wii (probably Animal Crossing since it is easy relaxing and I don't have to worry about messing up) for today.  My dad is going to get some painkillers and antibiotics soon for me.  I won't be posting too much next few days but after I start healing up I am down for some Brawl matches online (never played online yet but hopefully will do with some of you).  Just remember if you get sudden extreme pain on the right side of abdomen then you should probably get it checked out (mine mainly hurt the most at night when I was trying to go to bed or it would wake me up during sleep).   I still plan on shipping out to boot camp for Coast Guard June 2nd.  I should recover before then since it didn't burst (going to have to call recruiter and let her know, but hopefully it will be all good).  If it burst then the recovering would have been a lot longer probably.  I hopefully won't have to pay for everything or barely pay much since the hospital might write it off as charity since I don't have a job or insurance.  Take it easy everyone because I know I will the next few days/weeks.

dude thats sucks...get well soon

Thanks, will do my family is pretty supportive of me right now.

Wow good thing you went to the seek medical attention quickly!

One of my friends almost died because his ruptured, he was in hospital for two months!!!

Unfortunately for him he is the type to try and shrug off pain in some sort of manly pride, under these circumstances it did no do him much good.

How long did you feel the pain for? It is always good to know these things!

I hope you heal up quickly!

Ahh shit, that is bad, i guess it wasn't a sarcoma then?

Do you find that now that your spleen has gone you are ill slightly more often than previously?

I also hope that you have the all clear now too.

it was lymphoma(cancer of the lymph nodes) and it spread to my tonsils, adnoibs, spleen, and was starting to get in my bone marrow. so now i am really starting to worry about the swine flu thing.

good to hear you caught it before it got worst, feel better!
