*OUCH*
On Friday afternoon, I started having some pain in my stomach area. It was "lower right quadrant" pain, so I was suspecting the worst: appendicitis.
The pain didn't get any better, so on Saturday, I went into the instacare. Fortunately, my doctor's office has an all-day urgent care clinic.
I was happy to find out that I DON'T have appendicitis. Almost 10 years ago, I had my gall bladder out. The pain was probably caused by adhesions of scar tissue from that previous abdominal surgery.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that if this pain doesn't go away, there's not much else they can do other than go back in and cut the adhesions, but that's another surgery, causing more scar tissue, which could then cause problems like this in the future. Ugh.
Fortunately, I'm feeling somewhat better today. I can stand up straight without being in pain. Hopefully, the pain will be gone in the next couple of days.
