A month filled with a whole lot of emotions, part 4

The work week was pretty successful.  No major problems with the roll-out at work.  To celebrate, my husband met me in the city to watch The Avengers.

I left my work building and I started having abdominal pain.  It was tolerable so I decided to walk from work to Union Square.  I figured it was just gas and it will go away after a few minutes.  Food in tow, we sat ourselves at the movie theater and waited for the movie to start.  The pain got worse.  I was fine I thought.  I convinced myself it will go away.  Half an hour later, the pain didn’t go away, it was more severe.  I needed to go to the ER.

Midnight came and I was told I needed surgery to take out my appendix.  I had laparoscopic appendectomy the next morning.

Ready for surgery

After the surgery, I was sent back to my hospital room appendix-free.  They kept me overnight for observation and I had this for a view.

Now I stay at home resting… hoping that from all these, I have become stronger and ready to face whatever fate may have in store for me.
