I Think I'll Go Far a Walk!

You're not fooling anybody, you'll be stone dead in a moment!

Saturday passed without much more excitement. Several nurses came through, a couple of doctors, but there wasn't much to say. It was the weekend afterall, and that meant nobody wanted to make a hard desision. They put me on some heavy IV antibiotics to try to get my appendix to chill out. They did not want to remove it because that would mean I couldn't get chemotherepy for 8 week, and it was pretty much assumed i would going to need it at that time.

I noticed a lot of puppy dog eyes from the nurses at that time. I didn't like that, I didn't feel like I was that sick, I mean, I know what the scan showed, but other than an appendix flair up, I was fine... This was NOT denial! I fully understood what was happening, but it just seemed crazy, and everyone agreed. Every doctor and nurse that came in couldn't believe that I could be so sick, and have gone that far though this ordeal with no tangible symptoms! All my vitals were good, except my BP which would fluctuate from 119/70 to 150/99 depending on what news I had just received. At this point I hadn't been given so much as a Tylenol... I didn't need it. I had some pain, but not "admit me to the hospital, I'm dying" pain...

That was Saturday...

Sunday:
A whole bunch of waiting. I still hadn't posted anything on social media, I hadn't made too many calls, because there wasn't much definitive to say... I still didn't know if I was having surgery or what... I had a few visitors... Overall it was a long boring day. They allowed me to get up and walk around with my IV pole in tow. I took advantage of that! I was bored just sitting there... I did get to watch both the NFC and AFC championship games though, so that was nice. I scared a nurse half to death when she was telling me something unnecessary, just then, an interception was thrown in one of the football games, and I shouted "Oh no!" She stopped dead in the middle of her speech,and wanted to know what I objected to, I just pointed over her shoulder, at the TV on the wall....
