Earlier this week my doctor/GP called to check up on me after the surgery and my SI joint problems. She agreed that there was a possibility that I've been dealing with chronic appendicitis since at least August before it became acute appendicitis.
I also looked up the symptoms of chronic appendicitis and there were several I hadn't connected with it, but with other things. Like a change in diet, being out of shape and starting to exercise and anxiety. Some disappeared, other became a little bit better over time and a couple stayed.
Yesterday the hospital called for a check up. They also told me they had taken tissue samples to get checked and it turned out it was a serious infecting that I've had for quite a while.
So now I can stop feeling guilty over ruining the vacation my sister and I took in September (because I wasn't feeling well, quickly overheated and I wasn't able to be very active) and feeling lethargic all the time, not being able to even get myself to do things I normally enjoy.
My SI joint is doing a little bit better every day. Though bending and lifting things do aggravate it.
I'm so looking forward to my Reading Retreat in just over a week. After all the things that have happened since August I really need some time by myself.
