The “Where’s Steelergurl” and non football post

by Steelergurl on August 24, 2011

So about a week ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with an extremely sharp pain in my stomach that literally didn’t allow me to get out of bed. Should have been a clue, right? But no, I chalked it up to moving into my new house and muscle pain and just stress in general. Yeah, I was wrong.  Friday night, I went to pick up my son from football practice and had to pull over before I even got there because the pain was so bad.

Long story short, I had an emergency appendectomy and have been in the hospital with little complications here and there. High temperature one day, low blood pressure the next, yesterday and today I can’t eat…probably couldn’t eat before, but yesterday was first day I tried and threw up everything I ate (which included about 8 teaspoons of yogurt).

Why am I telling you this? Well, first, get your annual check ups. I consider myself a pretty healthy person, but clearly, not what I thought. Second, it’s football season, but I may not be writing, FB’ing or tweeting much until I get back to my normal self.  I still have my sense of humor and seem to keep the docs and nurses at this fine establishment entertained, however, I would rather be at home entertaining myself and my son.

That said, when I am back, I will start talking about football – but you guys all go ahead and enjoy, post comments, whatever. I will read but I may not respond right away.

Hugs to all of you.

So sorry to hear of your illness. Relax, don’t push yourself too hard and dream of the steelers in super bowl 46.
