Outcome of what I hope to god is the last part of this adventure.
[Copied from Facebook because while I'm in too much pain to sleep, I'm too tired to type much more.]
I can't quite believe I'm writing this, but: my right ovary gave me appendicitis.
I KNEW that little bastard was out to get me.
Long story short, righty got infected, and it sits so close to the appendix that it spread germs. Everything was such a mess that the whole infection palace they had built had to be ripped out by the roots, so I am now without appendix and ovary. AT LAST.
My blood counts got so low (22 hematocrit, woo) that they gave me a transfusion before surgery even started, although to save time they knocked me out before it started, so I didn't get to watch. Thanks, anonymous A+ blood donor!
Supposedly all of this may be the source of my bladder issues, and they'll go away shortly. Cross your fingers for me?
