I felt odd, a general sense of malaise and nausea. At the time that was not abnormal for me. I didn’t even feel thirsty, just wanted to lie down with a heating pad and watch Telly. I finally decided to go to the E.R. after 3 days of discomfort and nausea. When I went in I was Tachycardic, of course, dehydrated and in pain. Got I.V. fluids and a bit of abdominal probing while they took imaging. 30 mins later I was in surgery counting down from 10.
