Surgery!

Hello friends, loved ones, and whoever else may be reading this. Sorry it's been awhile. Normally I wouldn't have a very good excuse for my laziness but this time I have a pretty good reason. I'll start by saying the last couple weeks have been nothing less than interesting. After my last blog post, I got overwhelmed with homework. English homework. I have never had this hard of English homework before and I had never really had to work in my English classes before now. I was put in "Engelska C" English C, which is the hardest English class in the Swedish gymnasium. The only people in my class are the ones that actually want to be there, so that part is nice, but it's actually really hard. I'll spare you the details.
I spent the first couple of days of February getting sick again. Not fun. On Thursday the 3rd, my stomach pains got really bad to the point where it heart to take a breath because it made my stomach move, so we left at 11 at night to take my to the hospital. The doctors at the hospital then decided that it as my appendix and I was going to have surgery. So at 3 something Friday morning they wheeled me into surgery, but there was only one doctor on call and he got called into emergency surgery so I had to wait, and I didn't have my surgery until about 9 or so. After that it is kind of blurry, I remember it hurting and them giving me morphine. I was in the hospital til Sunday and then they finally let me go home. So since then I have been resting a lot and trying to regain my strength. Going through surgery without my mom there caused me great homesickness, but I am doing a lot better now. It was such a crazy thing to have to go through 6,000 miles away from home. But now I can joke that I will always have permanent memories of Sweden, my scar.
Other than that, not THAT much has been happening. Surgery is definately the "highlight" of the last couple of weeks. I'll blog more soon, but right now I'm tired.
