#appendicitis

Continued thread

Shortest hospital stay (two days, one night) ever for me. #appendicitis, while painful enough to present to the ER, wasn't as painful as any of my #pancreatitis bouts. I needed pain meds still, but after an initial push of #fentanyl in the ED to drop from 8/10 to 2/10 (seriously, fentanyl is amazing at taking the hammer to pain levels), #morphine was sufficient for managing the remaining pain as it flucuated around 4 or 5/10 (*and* I didn't need it 'round-the-clock, either). Thankfully, it was uncomplicated appendicitis. No rupture or abscesses. Removed with #laproscopic approach. I'm sore, but home. Won't be able to #doordash for a while, but i'll manage.
