Yikes! Glad that you decided to check out your symptoms sooner rather than later and that they were able to catch it before rupture.

Glad you're OK - and able to enjoy Christmas!

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!

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.

I'm not going to take the time to write the rest, but it should just about write itself.
