Appendicitis sux.
Last year i got really ill, had to call a doctor out, got sent to hospital.
When there had to wait 5 hours in agony, no painkillers for a hospital bed (friggen useless POS NHS for ya) 2 weeks go by, nil by mouth so i cant eat and lose all weight. They do loads of tests, cant find anything and send me home.
3 days later im back in A&E (accident and emergency) waiting for another hospital bed (about 4 hours this time). atleast this time im morphined up, they do more tests, cant find whats wrong, im supposed to have a lapiroscopy (sp? where they stick a camera inside of you!) but its delayed for 3 days running.
By this time we realise i have private health cover from where my mum works - and im moved to the private ward, the day im moved there (out of NHS) i get my operation, they realise from the camera i have had a blocked appendix and its leaked poison all inside of me.
They cut me open, take everything out and have to clean it. I wake up after op expecting a little scar from camera and have a nice 8 inch cut down my front, lucky they didnt delay my op another day or apparently i would be dead.
In hospital recovering for another 2 weeks but they rush me out to home because the private ward closes for christmas, i get out of hospital weighing 8st (112lb's) from when i went in at about 11st (154lb) for someone thats 6ft tall. Its taken me about 9 months to put the weight back on. I used to be able to run 100m in under 12 seconds and play 90mins football easy, now i doubt i could even finish sprinting the 100m!
Kinda sux when yer 19 years old and cant leave the fuggin house for a year, hence the time spent in AH!
