Early this morning B. went into the hospital with stabby abdominal pain which turned out to be...you guessed it... appendicitis. Yes, he had his appendix out less than a month after I did. I guess that means we're even? or something?
I got up very early, drove back from area-around-work, and spent most of the day in the hospital until B.'s parents returned and I crashed in the late afternoon. Mostly I was cold from not showering and wearing yesterday's work dress (and the hospital was very air conditioned) but also hungry and tired. I wish I had been there when B. went into surgery (stupid long commute) but I was glad his parents were there, and I was there when he got out.
The surgery went well, no complications. Unfortunately B. had a hard time in recovery and the first couple hours in the room weren't great. He doesn't react well to pain medication/anesthesia, his mom has similar issues. He did get much better (world of difference between 11am and 1pm) and checked out around dinner time. He'll be fine although the next couple of weeks will be hard on him.
I'm taking tomorrow off from work to help out (not the best time, but when is it a good time for emergency surgery?) and then back to work on Thursday. Poor B.
