I'm Lucky

Yes, I had an appendectomy on Saturday. The truth is the whole experience was very unusual.

• The usual patient with appendicitis is young, most are under 30. I'm 63.


• The usual symtoms are abdominal pain is accompanied with nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, and fever. I had stomach cramps, a touch of nausea and some chills.

I was in pain for 3 days, but it wasn't awful, just inconvenient. If it was awful I might of gone to the ER sooner. I'm very lucky. Now two days after surgery, I have some pain but it's very tolerable. I'm feel very lucky.
