    Thumbs down what a day..

    I woke up this morning with a little pain in my stomach..thought nothing of it and continued getting ready for work, skipped breakfast because my stomach wasn't feeling the best.. Anyway i get into the van and drive to work, whilst at work i my stomach seems to be getting worse, so i tell my boss im going to the chemist to get something. The chemist lady asks me what im after and i tell her i have a soar stomach, she asks me where and i tell her to my right lower side. She then tells me to immediatley seek medical attention as my appendix my be about to give way.. so i walk up to the local doc and all of a sudden im booked in for surgery at 12:30 to get my appendix removed...

    WHAT A DAY! wish me luck

    That sucks. At least you went to the chemist and doctor instead of ignoring it like some people.

    I've had it out before - doctors were slack as I was in the waiting room in absolute agony for HOURS, finally got in and they rushed me in but then the surgery room was to busy or some shit so I had to be on standby for the entire night and couldn't get my surgery until the next morning!

    Luckily yours hasn't actually burst yeah so they shuld only do keyhole surgery which heals up in no time - enjoy the feeling when you wake up

    why do people want wishes of luck for surgery? No luck with it. That said, its only an appendix surgery. Teaspoon of concrete will go a long way

    Ouch! They do keyhole for that now? Lucky, I have a scar about 15cm's in length from when I had mine out when I was 16, I remember the pain well. Morphine and lots of it lol I had a cold at the same time, so coughing after being cut open isnt recommended.

    All the best!

    Complications can arise even out of simple routine surgery. Surgery can be a pretty daunting experience for those who have never had it before.

    don't ask Minux for sympathy haha, none shall be given!

    Yeah have fun with that, waking up is right wank.

    I had the same, woke up one morning with a sore stomach, went to school, by second period i was in so much pain there were tears (i was young :P). Went to the sick bay and then my parents got called and collected me, to the doctors, then to the hospital. I was in surgery within 3 hrs or so. It burst as they were operating me! So now I have a scar about 50cm long

    Sounds like luck has gone your way already, could have gone undiagnosed and been a lot nastier

    50cm scar? You must have had one big appendix! I'm guessing maybe you meant 50mm?
