First Major Surgery

It was Monday 8th March between 3:30 to 4:00 PM when it started paining at Right-Lower abdominal. It was Normal and small pain which started and was going to be continues. I was not able to sit for long time in chair and concentrate on my work as the pain started increasing. Intially I thought this could be due to Gas, Kidney or Motion problem. When Praveen and myself started a discussion on what is causing this pain, possibility of Gas Trouble ruled out as Pain due to Gas Trouble happens above Abdomen and Below Chest region. Option of Stones in Kidney ruled out because pain due to stones in Kidney happens around back side of your west either on right or left side. Option of Motion ruled out as I knew and finally the only option left out was "Appendix Pain". We did not knew where it happens in body but knew that it happens somewhere near our Stomach.

Around 6:30 PM, I Spoke to Sateesh and informed him that I am not feeling well and want to leave for home and He agreed for the same. Now next biggest challenge for me was "How to go Home Back?" I sent an email to Balaji for a Cab to drive back home stating my health condition. I got cab at 9:00 PM and started to home. It was 9:50 PM when I reached home, My head was banging like anything and Stomach was helping in making my day worst. I took Anacin Tablet which is for Headache and soon after I fell asleep. Anacin is kind of pain killer, may be that is the reason, this tablet suppressed Headache and Pain in stomach also.



Admitted in Yashodha Hospital



Around 1:00 AM in midnight and I woke up again and that is when I started having real pain which I was not able to control. From 1 to 2 AM, I was just ling on bed by changing many posture all around the bed, also did drink glass of water but still could not manage to bear it. Around 2:30 AM I had vomiting after which I felt little bit relaxed but it did not stand long. After 15 mins it started paining again. The pain was showing miserable and I was waiting for Morning so that we can go to Doctor in our location. I did want to disturb my parents because it was midnight and did not wanted to tense them in this odd time. But around 3:00 AM Pain went beyond my control and I had to wake my parents. My dad rushed to get a Auto to go to Hospital. Soon he returned with Auto and We started for Hospital. We rushed to Yashoda Hospital Secunderabad at 3:40 AM.



I was taken to Emergency Ward where we reported Pain in Lower right abdominal with Vomiting. Doctor suspected and told that this could be Appendix pain. They collected the Blood sample to find the Blood Group. They found Sugar level 147, which is very high compare to Diabetics patient. They gave me Pain killer injections and asked me take rest on bed. Soon around 4:45 they took me for ultrasound Scan Test for confirming. I was fine, able to walk on my own and talk as in normal days... They brought wheal Chair and asked me to sit in order to go to Ultrasound Scan Room. I refused to sit and told that I am happy to walk as its just couple of steps from here, but Nurse "Smijju" refused and forced me to sit. I felt odd when I was sitting in Wheelchair as of old man of 99 years who cannot walk at all. In 15 scan was done and we were back to emergency ward. Doctors confirmed that its clear case of appendix and left 2 options, First to go for operation to eliminate the Appendix from my body and Second to take medicines to control the pain and Appendix too but cannot give guarantee when it will revert back and if reverts back then it would be very saviour. And if we are away from City then this could be more worse now.

My parents decided to go for First option i.e Eliminating it by Operation. Doctors were ready to operate today around 11 AM. I Called my friend Sudhir who was still in office working Night shift, to get my Insurance Number which was saved in my computer. Quoted the Insurance ID and processed the Operation under the insurance coverage. I got operated at 1:00 PM for 45-60 Mins and shifted to Post Operation Ward where I Kept under observation with Respiration Support and Glucose until anesthesia effect was decreased. Post surgery I had to live on Glucose liquid for 5 days... No Food, No Tea, No Biscuit Nor Juice..... Only on Glucose Liquid. Since Operation I was lying on Bed.... which I did not like at all. I can't bend, sit nor walk.... Now That Sucks !!!!

Medicines were also very horrible experience... Every Morning and Evening I was given Antibiotic and Painkiller Injections injected through nerves where Glucose was already being injected.
