    I went to the emergency room over a week ago to be seen for vomiting abdominal pain and nausea. Er doctor ran urine test and blood tests, said I was fine prescribed me antibiotics for a uti and sent me home. For another whole week I couldnt est still nauseated and at times still vomiting so I wemt to a different emergency room. This er doctor went above and beyond doing any and all tests including a pelvic exam and a ct scan. They found my appendix inflammed enough it could have ruptured any day. If it wasn't for the antibiotics being gone and the abdominal pain getting worse my appendix ciuld have ruptured while I was sleeping or at any point and I wouldnt be alive today to tell this story. Within an hour of the results from my ct I was in surgery having my appendix removed, 2 hours later I was home resting with my fiance son and family. Its been 2 days since my surgery and my stomach hurts like hell but I feel better, im eating, no vomiting, and im here with my family so I thamk god im still alive to be with my family. Some of you think you need your appendix and some say you dont but im glad my appendix was removed and my family is happy to see me healthy and I am so glad not to be hovering over a toilet getting sick or starving so im glad for the doctors at the second emergency room I went to
