Appendicitis?

I just had a lap appendectomy monday. I was having sharp shooting pains in my right side by my hip bone for about a week. They came more often and got more intense so I went to the er. The Dr. Said that he did not think it was my appendix because I did not have any other symptoms he thought that maybe it was a cyst on my ovary. He did a cbc and a urine test and if those came back fine then he would do an ultrasound to check for a cyst. My white blood count came back elevated so he decided to do a ct scan. I have to drink this white yucky stuff to line my stomach and intestines. Waited about 1 1/2 hours and they had me drink more of the barium yucky stuff and put dye in my iv. After being in the hospital for 8 hours I found out that I had feces stuck in my intestines.. Nice huh? He called a surgeon and the surgeon said that it was not an emergency and for me to call his office monday to make an appointment. I had to wait over the weekend and made an appointment. I went and the surgeon said it was best to remove my appendix. I had surgery 1 week later. While in there he found a cyst on my ovary and signs that my appendix was inflamed before this episode. Also that my appendix was laying the worst way and can be mistaken for back pain. Which I already have chronic back pain from a herniated disc. So most likely I have been having problems before and did not notice because of chronic back pain. I did not have any of the other appendicitis symptoms!

My surgery went well and I was up out of my bed 2 hours after being taken to my room. Since my surgery was at 5pm I had to stay overnight. But was not too bad. I have 3 small incisions. The 1st couple of days where the worst trying to get up in down and could not roll over in bed without waking up. They put gas in my belly to make more room for the surgeon, which traveled up under my ribs and shoulder, kinda hard to breath for a bit until I layed down and it would move back to my tummy. The gas absorbed in a couple of days. Its been 4 days now and I still have muscle pain but other than that I am doing very well. I have to go back to the Dr. Thursday for a check-up.
