You Need Surgery: Tomorrow (grizzly internal organ shots added)
So last week I had some headaches, neck and back pain. I chalked it up to stress and kept on going. Monday of this week, I developed a pretty nasty stomach ache. It persisted through the night and into the next day. Gas Ex and Pepto didn't seem to do anything. I was at work for only an hour and a half before I decided it was too bad to stay.
Well, I NEVER come home from work when I'm sick, so Mrs. Coaster insisted I go to the doctor. After about 7 hours of poking, prodding, tests, urine samples and even a CT scan, they determined I had a badly twisted omentum. I would need surgery the following morning to remove the twisted/dead tissue inside me. Yowsa!
So that happened, and it all went OK. I was only in the hospital for a day and a half, and I'm back at home now recovering. Hooray for strong pain meds. Who wants to see my scars? (and if you want to see the pix of the offending internal organ, I have those too)
Added these pictures, at the end of the topic, proceed at your own strong-willed risk.
