Outcome of what I hope to god is the last part of this adventure.

[Copied from Facebook because while I'm in too much pain to sleep, I'm too tired to type much more.]

I can't quite believe I'm writing this, but: my right ovary gave me appendicitis.

I KNEW that little bastard was out to get me.

Long story short, righty got infected, and it sits so close to the appendix that it spread germs. Everything was such a mess that the whole infection palace they had built had to be ripped out by the roots, so I am now without appendix and ovary. AT LAST.

My blood counts got so low (22 hematocrit, woo) that they gave me a transfusion before surgery even started, although to save time they knocked me out before it started, so I didn't get to watch. Thanks, anonymous A+ blood donor!

Supposedly all of this may be the source of my bladder issues, and they'll go away shortly. Cross your fingers for me?

I'm so glad they found the problem. You have had a time of it. Feel better soon.

Whew, that's a doozy. I'm glad they figured it out, and I'm sure you'll feel better soon! *hugs*

OH. EM. GEE.

Or, in the immortal words of Gwen Stefani, "This shit is bananas."

I hope they're right, and this resolves your bladder issues too, and you live a long and quiet and medically unremarkable life from here on out.

It just never stops, does it? :( Get better soon!

God, fingers crossed that this was the last of it for a while! I love that you haven't lost your sense of humour, at least.

I'm not going to be responding to every individual comment from the last couple weeks, but just wanted to let you know that they were very much appreciated while I was in the hospital! Really hoping this will all just become a bad memory with no lingering effects very, very soon.

I think trying to find the humor in all this was the only thing that kept me going towards the end.
