For some reason I feel the urge to relate the details of my current problems to everyone here. Who knows why.. maybe I want condolences, or advice, or something. Whatever... here it is.
Yesterday my girlfriend's appendix either almost ruptured, or actually did, she's not even quite sure herself. Either way, it was close. And no thanks to the lousy a-hole doctor at the walk-in clinic who said there was nothing wrong 'take 2 aspirins and you'll be fine'. I saw her at school that day and she looked so worn down, so in pain, that I could hardly believe it.. and when she said she thought she might have appendicitis (she told me later she was joking) I wasn't too sure she was wrong.
Yesterday she got to emergency and they found that her appendix wasn't in too good a state and they operated early this morning.
She's a tough girl though and the recovery seems to be going pretty well. She's going to be able to leave the hospital by saturday or sunday.
I visited her today (I'm so thankful the hospital is only a short walk) and she wasn't eating yet and hooked up to intravenus and under heavy morphine so she was really woozy.
A little offset of this whole happening when it did is that the big annual school dance is friday, and she's really been looking forward to it, as was I... since I've never been before since before 2 months ago I'd never had a girlfriend. I even bought a really nice expensive suit for the occasion. But obviously she won't be able to go. I think I'll show up at the hospital sometime tomorrow (either right after school or in the evening) all dressed up in my suit, bring some flowers, a fancy drink, and anything else that's appropriate and feasible. Of course being as indecisive as I am i'm spending forever trying to figure out whether it would be best to go in the afternoon (element of surprise, more potential time) or the evening (more time to get it in gear, less time (visiting hours end at like 8:30, but i'm not sure how strict they are about it)) And all sorts of other pointless details that I can't get out of my head. i know there's a name for people like me...
Oh well. i've said enough for now
