My Emergency Room Visit

This little guy (appendix) is the reason why I haven't blogged in quite a few days...

I spent the day in the ER on Tuesday only to find that I didn't have to have any body parts removed (thankfully). I had a bunch of vials of blood taken... I have 3 bruises to show for it, because they had to have 3 different nurses attempt to find a vein to insert an IV into. I even had a CAT scan done, and thought I was peeing myself when they inserted the contrast material (iodine) into my veins for it... which I guess is entirely normal. They assured me I wasn't actually peeing... although I debated doing it just to mess with them (the high amounts of xanex in my body made it sound even more funny at the time).

Since being released, I've been extremely tired and still in pain. I was sent home with a prescription for Vicodin and instructions to return if the pain continued for an excessive amount of time.
