Here I am getting prepped for my emergency appendectomy yesterday. Good times!!

Tip for everyone: if you're having lower abdominal pain on your right side, listen to your body and go to the damn doctor. No matter how many parts of your brain are trying to tell you what else it could be, wait and see, etc.

All is well here, recovering and resting with no complications. AND no sepsis! Despite the US healthcare system being super busted, I had an absolutely pro experience in my local hospital.
