Appendix surgery

I am at the ER and going to get my appendix removed here shortly.

I've had many intestinal blockages so I thought this would be it - but man it hurts a bit more than the run of the mill intestinal blockage I get.

I had some pain this morning at around 3am that woke me up - and after a few hours they discovered my cranky appendix!Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers - it should be a quick, simple surgery but with CF things can sometimes get complicated.

I'll keep you posted on how things go!

  6. Feel better and many prayers for a safe and successful surgery!

    My appendix tip: hold a pillow close to your stomach (hug it) when you do your huff coughs for a few days post surgery. The vent compacts mucus into your airways, but it hurts to cough, which is a bad combo. The hugging a pillow thing really, really helped me!

    Much love and light!
