My sister Diega has been having a hard time of it lately. She had an emergency appendectomy almost two weeks ago. She was in the hospital for a couple days then they sent her home. Her recovery did not proceed as it should have. She was sick, having trouble with her bowels, and her abdomen looked like she was about 8 months into a pregnancy.
Last Tuesday she went back to the doctor for a follow-up. They sent her to Emergency and she was admitted into the hospital right away. Turns out there were complications from her appendectomy. For the last week she has had to endure a nasogastric tube siphoning off the bad stuff from her stomach and endless x-rays and CT scans. Finally today they decided they must do another surgery to correct the situation.
Her surgery went well and they think she will be all fixed up. It seems unlikely she will get to go home by Thanksgiving but hopefully she will start recovering in earnest now and can look forward to feeling much better soon.
So you want to have three?
