That's OK, I'm just as happy not to be in the running for Biggest Appendectomy Scar.
The disturbing thing was a comment by the surgeon that there was a scarring on my appendix. Which indicates that *this was not my first bout of appendicitis*. And thinking back, I think I've had similar pains (but that didn't last as long) off and on for probably the last 25 years. So, I probably was flirting with peritonitis several times in the past without even realizing it.

My appendix had already started leaking when it was removed, back before I was in my teens.
I passed out at home, woke up briefly in the cold air being carried to the ambulance, then woke the following morning sans appendix.
My scar's bigger than yours - nyah nyah!
