Hospital Checkup

Today was my checkup with one of the surgeons. Everything is ok, but still need to take it easy - no heavy lifting etc.

So what happened?

Well, perforated appendix with abscess, and acute appendicitis; my appendix had ruptured inside my abdomen, leading to gangrene, abscess and pus. Far too messy for keyhole work (bet the surgeon got a surprise).


Apparently particularly bad/messy; I would have been in hospital in a matter of days if we hadn't gone to the GP...
