Thanks, friends!
I went in thinking I had a hernia. They started getting concerned about appendicitis, so I ended up staying the night so they could monitor white cell counts, fever, things like that. Well, it weren't neither one of those problems.
Twenty two hours with no food or even water. No smokes. I woke up with a caffeine-deprivation headache like it was cool! Three cups of coffee, though, and I was fine. Got checked out, got in the car, and immediately lit up. Felt much better.
I'll be going back Monday for a follow-up. One of the alternate problems seems likely now, but you don't need to know those details. Trust me, you don't want to.
Just like a year ago I went in. Turned out I had developed an infection that caused painful swelling. You REALLY don't want to know details on that, but it hammered home an important lesson. If you think something is wrong, go see a medic. It could be nothing, or something minor. Or it could be something worse. Get it checked out.
