You had a rough time but so happy that the doctor was willing to operate and your gangrenous appendix was taken out!

That doctors don't believe we are in pain is a painful truth. It costs human lives. Happy it didn't take yours and at least one doctor learned from it.

You poor thing! Thank goodness they took it out, eventually. I hope you are making a good recovery.

Wishing you well. Keep on top of your recovery and don't take anything for granted. Well done, always stick to your guns and know your own body.
