Acute Appendicitis. "Gangrenous and dying"

About a month ago a started having some abdominal discomfort. It kept getting worse so we decided to go to a local Urgent Care (I don't love going to them because I feel like they don't ever diagnose you, they just give you a band aid, pat you on the back and send you on your way) but tryi g to keep costs down, we tried it over the ER. And that's exactly what happened. They didnt diagnose me with anything and home we went.
The father along in the day it got the more pain I was experiencing. I was in pain and could not get comfortable! Around 10 pm I was shivering uncontrollably and at that point I told Brit we needed to go to the ER.
We called some great friends in our ward to come watch the girls and off we went.
I was so miserable. We got checked in nd after a 5 minute conversation with the nurse, he k we it was appendicitis. Luckily the surgeon was already there performing another appendectomy so we got right in.
The procedure was pretty quick and it felt so good to not be in pain anymore. Post op Brit recorded me saying some pretty funny stuff coming out of anesthesia.
4 weeks later and I am as good as new.
The ER hospital bill should be fun.
