My back was killing me the other day at work. I was just in the middle of speaking with HOme SecuritY Family on the phone when I was literally crippled with pain. I quickly told the representative that I was going to have to call her back. I took some Advil and tried to get back to work. Thirty minutes later my back and abdomen were hurting again. The pain got so bad that I had to leave work. By the time I left, I could barely drive. A co-worker convinced me that I need to go to the emergency room and gave me a ride. She called my husband and he met me up there. Much to my surprise, I was told that I was going to have to have surgery. I had an appendicitis. It didn’t occur to me that my back ache that had turned into stomach ache was so serious. I am so glad that my co-worker convinced me to go to the emergency room. My doctor told me that I made it just in time.
