I've had a bit of a time with it, but whenever they cut on you, it just takes time.  That old appendix lasted me 60 years, and from what I understand, that's a loooooooong time.  My aunt had hers until she was into her 70s, though.  i figure we must have a very high longevity of parts quotient in my family.  But, it's gonna happen, sooner or later with this part.  I was just glad I went when I did rather than waiting until I'd hurt for several days, and let it rupture.  This was a lot easier.  They did it laparoscopically, so I only have 3 small incisions - no scars!  WooHoo, I can wear a bikini until I'm 90....if I wore a bikini anyway.  Hahaha!  I'm the only person in the world who wears sweats in the pool.

But, hilarity aside, thanks for thinking of me.  I will recover, I promise.
