So Kuso had surgery on his ear on January 23rd...On February 7th, he woke up with pain in his stomach. He took some pepto and went back to sleep. A few hours later I asked him if he was going to play his basketball game. He said his stomach hurt too much....Now any of you who know Kuso and how much his sports mean to him, for him to miss a game, it is a big deal. I asked him if it hurt bad enough for him to see a doctor and he said "Yes." Again, any of you who know him, he doesn't exactly enjoy going to the doctor just for fun.
We were headed to the emergency room for a problem I was having (that needs not to be talked about since it ended up to be nothing....) Anyway, while they were checking me in, Kuso's stomach was hurting even more. I asked them if they could check him while we were there so we didn't have to go see another doctor when we left. They checked us both in. After all my tests came back with everything being okay, it was determined that Kuso had appendicitis. They were going to take his appendix out later that afternoon.
So just 2 weeks and 1 day later, Kuso was going back under for another surgery. He took the medication better this time around. He stayed the night in the hospital. Recovery for this surgery was much more tolerable. We meet with the doctor in a couple days and are hoping he can have a release to go back to work.
Due to all the surgeries, Kuso hasn't worked in nearly 4 weeks. It's been a little tight financially, but it's been good for us to spend some good time together without him being out of town.
Just before Kuso went in to surgery, he "promised" that this was the last time anything like this would happen. (Not that he can control it.) But hopefully, his promise will hold true....at least for a LONG while!
