UTI to Diverticulitus to Ovaries

Well it all started on a Tuesday and I walked in the kitchen and told Steve the bottom part of my belly kinda hurt. I did not have time for that I had to go to get Laci and clean at the church. On Wednesday It kinda hurt a little bit but hey I was busy. Thursday came along and I was beginning to think I need to drink more water. Friday called the Doctor and he was going on Vacation so call back on Monday. I drank more water and wasnt getting better my lower belly was really hurting. Saturday got out of bed and told Steve I am dying need antibiotic must have UTI or something. We headed out to Urgent Doc, I didnot bring my purse. Ladies dont go anywhere without your ID. I was the only one there at that time, Steve left me there and went home to get my ID - now 9 more people show up, ugh. Finaly I got in and got a test done and they said I had 20,000 white cell count it really should be around 8 to 10. Urgent Doc calls ahead and lets WHMC know that I am coming. Got there waited 5 minutes and was off to test and test and test and then the needle lady came in. We are going to start you on an IV and keep you over night so you can get antibiotics. Should have known somthing was up.
Sunday comes along and I am so very very ill pain on both sides and very nauseated. More Moriphine and more sick feeling and more and more and getting no where. Colon Doc says I have Diverticilitus (dont know the spelling yet) and wants to see me in 4 weeks. Monday comes and still sick Dr Suiter comes in and says Ovaries have a 6 in cyst on both that is causing a good deal of the pain. Plan on surgery the next day (laproscopic).
Julie and Randi Jackson bring there Lassie to see me. Randi cried that I was sick. Such a sweet girl.
And Then there is my sweet little James he comes in with his mom and tells everyone to be quiet he had some things to talk about, I was not ready for his questions, he wanted to know if I had pooped, holding it in is not good. Long pooping talk we had and I am sure we will have another one.
Gina Burleson is so hard headed, she sat in a chair all night with me when I was so sick one night.
Donya, Deloris, Justin and Steve came to visit. Steve tried to cheer me up. He layed on the floor doing leg exercises, sure hope he had underwear on.
Tuesday morning comes and Amy Willis, Lori and Cassie Randle helped me shave my legs. What great Friends I have.
Surgery is kinda weird cause they are doing construction all around you. It was hard to tell who was workers and Doctors. I am sure I will leave some stuff out as I remember them I will add.
Out of Surgery hour and a half later and wow what pain in my back. My first thought was they took out the wrong thing. Lori Randle looked and it was not what we expected. Lapro it was not. Now I am on Staydol my dear dear friend didnot make me sick just stroked my eyes and put me to sleep. July 29th, Wednesday morning came along fast and furious, get up take a shower, walk,pee toot (which did not happen) drink and eat a full meal, that was kinda strange as I only had a clear diet 3 times a day which consist of Sprite, apple juice, cranberry juice, jello, I will never look at those thing the same again.
