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.
