Can't believe I had to have my appendix out. Not a hint of tummy trouble when went to bed Wednesday night but by 7am the pain had begun. Was hoping it would be a quick in / out but they had to do the full laparotomy. Oh btw, morphine doesn't stop the pain it just gets you high.

Update: Doctor just explained why he couldn't use the key hole method. It seems my guts were all muddled up so they had to fix that before they could take out my appendix. The muddled guts probably happened when I was a kid and had the same procedure to fix a ruptured intestine. Pleasant stuff right? Hopefully I'll be going home Sunday evening, but will probably be Monday. Either way I'm off work this week. :(
