I am doing as good as could be expected from surgery. We were at the hospital from 5:45am until 1:15. The two surgeons were very thorough and looked around my whole abdomen and pelvis. The general surgeon removed my appendix and found an adhesion/scar tissue around my small intestine. I was too out of it to remember what the doctors said but he showed E the pictures. It is possible that this band had been around my intestines from birth. The doctor told E that it was constricting my bowels and could have been causing my pain. This is exactly how I described the pain to the doctors several times "it feels like my intestines are all twisted up".
I have spent most of the day sleeping. My pain is in control with Darvacet and I plan on resting most of the weekend. Thanks for all of the kind words and prayers. I hope for a speedy recovery and also hope this fixed me for good.
