So, we went to the ER yesterday around 5pm or so. She was in severe pain at this point, just above her right hip. The doc checks her out, asks questions about the pain, gets a blood test, etc. As an aside...I've never seen anyone this bad with needles. I thought she was going to break my hand when they ran the IV. I'll have marks for a while. Anyway, they ask if she's had her appendix taken out, she says no. They ask again, even when she had her hysterectomy(sp?) 10+ years ago, did they take it out then. She says absolutely not. So, long story short, she goes into surgery, the appendix is not there and she has a nasty viral infection in that area which was causing the pain. Looks like she got the bonus plan on her previous surgery and didnt even know, or remember it.

She was ready to leave there by 9:45 last night, and there was not a damn thing I could do to stop her, so she checked out at 10, I took her, picked up her son and took them back to my house. It was a damn restless night for her, but here's the intersting part. Even though she was pretty well coherent for a lot of the night after we left the hospital, when she finally woke up this morning, she asked me what happened. She didn't remember a single thing.....even checking into the hospital.......nothing at all.

Thanks so much for all the well-wishes, it's much appreciated.....and thanks, Gina for the advice along the way:-)

 

I'd hate to think of how often she must lose her keys! (J.K.). Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 

Just spoke with her. All doped up. Call me..

 

she's fortunate to have you to hold her hand (even if it does leave marks).

 

Sounds like she's in good hands! Hope she's all better soon... :-)

 

Glad to hear your g/f is well on the way to recovery!!!

 

Best wishes, man... hope she's back to normal soon!

 

Now THAT is a blackout! Probably better off for it though... glad you were there for her.

 

Good news. Glad she's okay. You're a good man, Jason.

 

All the best Jake....take care of each other....sorry, redundant advice!
