Sleep, The Foreign Language..

11:51pm on this Saturday night, and I'm eyes wide open! No heaviness of the lids or yawns. Feel like an imaginary being has my eyes hostage. Last night, I didn't fall asleep until the wee hours of morning around 3:30. Then woke up at 6:45am. This restlessness has been consisted for about 3 straight days. A company that's wearing out its welcome. In addition to sleepless nights, comes sleep during the day. This occurs, even if I get 7 or more hours. I'm still in recovery, since my recent surgery. Meaning, no set time to wake up in the morning, or go to sleep during the night. Despite, the sleepless nights, I'm coming along.
*coming along*

Not So Fast Missie.... We Got Some Surgery For You!

Last Wednesday (2/2/12), was consistent with stomach discomfort, and pain that overpowered sleep and focus. Like, waves of pain , crashing violently againgst the walls of my abdomen. It lasted for two days. Then on Friday, after work, I decided (with the persuasion of my mother) to go the ER. As I walked in the ER, on a Friday afternoon.... There was no one there. It was empty; which is rare. But, when God orchestrats a thing, all that is unusual, becomes into EXISTENCE!! The pain was getting more and more uneasy, as I sat and waited for doctors to figure out my new extended symptom. I figured it was something I ate, mixed with stubborn constipation. Blood work was done. Then a sonogram. The sonogram revealed a shadow. So, then another sonogram was performed. One PA student suggested a CT Scan. And I thank God for her! The CT Scan showed an inflammed appendix. I waited. By this time, it was 5 something in the am of Saturday. The surgeon comes in, and states that removal of my appendix, is mandatory. I pause. He jumps in, and states that surgery is needed NOW. I couldn't swallow it all. My surgery was in an hour in a half. Still stuck... I went into prayer. Because, that's all I knew to do. God granted PEACE. The surgery was a success. To God be the GLORY!!! I have never had a problem with my appendix, until now...
Another symptom to go in the bag.
Diagnosis, here I come!
