Hola
familia. Well I am probably going to keep this email pretty short. Just wanted
to let you all know that I am doing okay after the surgery and all that
happened with that. Sorry if that was a little crazy for you on your side.. it
kind of was here.
So here is
what happened. On Sunday night I started getting a really sick stomach or I
guess stomach ache that hurt really bad. I could hardly sleep at all that night
until about 4 and Elder Wood gave me a blessing then I slept really well after
that. I felt a little better when we woke up and so we went to do laundry...
then my stomach hurt so bad that I couldnt even focus it was bad. SO i called
Sister Gilbert that nurse and Dr. aldous the mission doctor and after having
Elder Wood do a few tests to me they decided it was most likely my appendix,
and that is something that needs to be taken care of quickly or else it can be
really bad, so they told me to go to the ER but also to a nicer hospital than
the one we live by because one elder went to that one time and they told him he
just had a stomach ache and then his appendix burst the next night, So we went
to hackensack. The pediatric ER goes until you are 21 out here so I got to go
there. It was great the nurse was awesome and they were all really nice.
after a while the doctor also beleived it was apendicitas which meant I would
need surgery... so to make sure they sent me to get a cat scan. it was affirmed
and I had an inflamed appendix and I would need it to be removed or it could
burst which is really bad. So that is how the surgery came up. Really easy
surgery. and now I am pretty sore in my abdomin areas it kind of feels like it
did a billion sit ups haha. So they told me to take it easy for the next couple
of days. I got pictures and everything so I will send those to you next week
and my stomach feels A LOT better now. Thank you all so much for your prayers
and going to the temple. It meant a lot. I was a little nervous even though it
was a simple surgery. It was the fist time ever I have been in the hospital. I
found my self sometimes just wanting my family.. but other missionaries came
and the Kays a really cool senior couple came and helped me out. They were my
parents for the night. It was good. So dont worry about me. I am really sorry
it cost money for you and everything I wouldnt have done it if I didnt need to
but I think and felt that is what I needed to do.
I love you
and will talk to you some more next week!
Oh I am not
sure what day it will be because I think we are going to the temple but not
sure.. so count on monday but dont get worried If I dont write you on monday :)
