So up until last weekend I was working out pretty intense - just being lazy about blogging my workouts on here. Last weekend I was hit with some massive stomach cramps and fevers ranging from 101-104. I figured it was the stomach flu and chose to rest up for a few days, increase my vitamin C intake and drink lots of water. Well….by Wednesday night I was in tears from the fevers and pain so I ended up at the emergency room. After many many many tests I was admitted although they still could not figure out what was wrong…. after lots of blood work, CT scans, x-rays, ultra-sounds ect ect ect they decided to do "exploratory surgery" on me on Saturday. Exploratory surgery in case meant they were going to cut open above my belly button and stick a little camera in to see what was causing me so much pain- not too exciting if you ask me. So Saturday after pain meds, then an allergic reaction to an antibiotic, then steriods, and allergy medicine I went under the knife… 3 hours later I came out of sugery to wake up with no appendix and with only pain from the surgery. All fevers gone and all stomach cramps gone… Who knew an appendix could cause all that???

Needless to say I am recovering….I finally got released from the hospital today and came home (home sweet home!) The big fat negative this sets back my training weeks!!!! Minimally I need to rest for 4 weeks and maybe even longer.I was told I can get up and go for walks in about 1 1/2 -2 weeks and go really slow from there. Wish me luck in my recovery and my patience with it!!!!
