Appendectomies bloody suck · 12:00am Aug 16th, 2021
So just as I started getting new cameras to work on my video of my Kalash build, I come down with severe appendicitis. I swear at first I thought it was just a stomach flu. Maybe miss a few days of work, then get right to work filming. Only for the next day to notice that my gut has severely inflamed, and if pressure was applied, it felt like I was being stabbed.
One trip to the ER later, now I have 3 slices in my abdomen, and am forced to lay in a hospital bed with next to no appetite, nurses, bless them, badgering me to eat, I've missed a week of work, have to miss another, then do a week of half days before I'm back to normal.
Doctors have kept me here because of my white blood cell count. Which, pre op, was 25k. Throughout the week it hovered around 17k. They don't want to let me go until it drops to 10k.
