My Surgery - 13th - 21st October 2013

So, Back in October 13th 2013 i had my first lot of surgery. On the 21st of October (8 days apart) i had my second lot of surgery.

I had been having stomach troubles and pains for a while.

Friday 12th at school i wasn't feeling well and i had bad pains. I told a teacher, they assumed it was a period, even though it wasn't a period and i told them what it felt like, they didn't listen to me.

The teachers i told thought they were right about it being a period, they just ignored me and didn't understand how i was feeling. It was unbearable pain.

I finished school at 15:10... by 15:30 i was in hospital, the next morning on Saturday 13th i was having surgery.

My appendix was inflamed and was close to bursting. And i had a cyst on my ovary.

So my appendix got removed along with the chunk of my ovary that had the cyst on.

I had key hole surgery near my belly button and had 2 smaller cuts lower on my belly.

I obviously wasn't well enough to go to school for a while after the first lot of surgery, so i was at home resting.

It got the weekend after my first lot of surgery, it was around 9:00 ish in the morning, i was snuggled up in bed watching a movie on my TV, i smelt something slightly funny but assumed it was coming from outside and thought to myself it will go away soon.

About 10 - 15 minutes later i could still smell the horrible stench, i checked my stomach.... my stomach was coming out with puss where they did the key hole surgery near my belly button.

The hospital had given me an infection.

The puss was coming through my top, stained a spot on my duvet and sheet, i held a tea towel to my stomach.

I went straight to my mum and told her when i found out my tummy was pussing.

My mum could smell it metres away from me.

I had to go straight to hospital and have a second lot of surgery to sort out the infection and whatever was going on.

While i was in hospital i caught an 'illness called noravirus.

Because of what happened with my stomach with my appendix, ovary and infection i nearly got septasemia and died. I was to weak to do anything

While i was in hospital and when i was resting at home, my friends visited me and so did my grandparents.

Because of the situation of my stomach, after the second lot of surgery, where i had the key hole surgery the first time, that scar had to be opened again, which caused a big hole and the hole had to be packed every few days for about 4 weeks by a nurse.

The 2 smaller scars were stitched. I just had to wait for the stitches to fall out.

My scars and my hole had a good healing process, they healed quite quickly.

I know other people obviously go through tough times to which i understand and others obviously become unwell to...

Im not trying to complain...

I just wanted to share my story.
