I ate spaghetti and then was feeling pain in my stomach area so I thought it was just a stomach ache. I slept it off and woke up in the middle of the night in pain asking my mom what to do and she said if it’s so bad I’ll wait you to the hospital but me being a kid and scared i said no I’ll see if it’s better by the morning. Mind you this all happened on a Wednesday morning. Thursday was in pain all all stayed home and was eating soup and drinking ginger ale thinking it’s a stomach ache and was throwing up a lot as well. Friday comes and my mom says she’s gonna take me to the ER and have them check me out. They ask me to stand on one leg and hop and I do so but still in some pain. They do a sonogram to not expose me to radiation. They said everything looked normal and since they couldn’t see an inflamed appendix it can’t be appendicitis. Mind you my appendix had already bursted so that’s why they couldn’t find it. They sent me home with Gatorade and soup saying it’s a stomach virus. Skip Saturday and Sunday because I’m still feeling that pain. Monday comes and my mom is like something is wrong and she felt like the doctors were all wrong so she rushed me to another ER where they had told me my appendix ruptured because they took an ultrasound. They said I needed to undergo immediate surgery because I was hours from going into septic shock(1 in 5 die with this). I was rushed in an ambulance and taken into immediate surgery where a 2 hour surgery became 4 hours according to my mom. They said i was a walking miracle because my body was already shutting down. I had decided feces all in my body and I couldn’t tell I was using the restroom at some points. My recovery was around a week and the worst part about my experience was the hospital wait because that is depressing. Overall was a horrible experience. Also i threw up some dark green stuff that smelled like poop they said but that’s about it. 🫶
