went into hospital on Wednesday 9th September as i was in agony, they firstly thought i had appendisitus, then after a Ultra sound on Friday 11th they said that it was an abcess, so they would do key hole surgery to remove the abcess early the next week and that would be that, which i was really happy with.
Monday 14th comes and i get to be seen by a different consultant, who says he needs more tests to be sure, but doesnt klnow when they will be done, so i kick up a fuss and threaten to discharge myself, and voila! the tests are booked and done by the tuesday lunchtime (gastrograffin follow-through and a ct scan), and was told on the wednesday that my crohns had got really bad and that my small intestine was pushing through into my large intestine, so decided that surgery was the only option and it would be done the next afternoon (Thursday).
So come out of surgery and i feel like hell, and my back is killing me, but the actual pain isnt too bad, and i have a morphine pump to help. After a few days i feel great, tad weak, but a hell of a lot better than i did on that wednesday
so by monday 21st docs come round and tell me as long as i feel ok the next day i can go home, which i do, so only 5 days after surgery im allowed home with just a supply of pain relief (which i havnt touched)
ive going to the toilet pretty much all day, and have a huge sugar craving, but other than that i feel great, but i have to take 4 weeks off work (which yes is lovely, but not for the fact that i had only been at my new job for 3 days but they are going to let me back which is great !)
sorry for the long post but i felt like it had to be done
hope everyone is ok on here, and sorry i havnt been on in such a long time
