Been gone for a few days

[Cordellia Amethyste Rose]

Sorry to all the new people who had to wait a few days for approval.  I've been away from the computer for a few days for a very good reason.  I was supposed to go in for a procedure Friday morning, but before I could start the cleanse the night before, I started having horrible stomach aches.  I did the cleanse anyway, and it made me sick to my stomach, but the stomach pains just got worse and worse.  I figured I was just being a big baby, but after about 6 hours, I gave up and called 911 and went into the ER.  It turns out I wasn't being a big baby after all.  I had appendicitis, and I had to have my appendix out the next morning.  Anyway, so I've been in the hospital until yesterday afternoon, sleeping, writhing in pain, and itching.  I'm still in pain, but I'll be ok.  The doc said my appendix was really disgusting and full of puss, so it definitely needed to come out.  I learned an important lesson: listen to your body!  If it's acting strangely, don't be afraid to ask for help.  I was lucky my appendix didn't burst.  I hope everyone's doing well on here.  I'll be on and off.  Feel free to message me if you need anything.  I'll try to respond more quickly.  

P.S.  I'm so grateful to my friend Michael who fed the kitties, scooped their litter box, and kept them company while I was away.  We're so lucky to have such a good friend.  I'm also grateful for my apartment manager who's going to the store for me.  I still can't stand up straight.
