Stuff that happens

I spent a week in the hospital in early June with appendicitis. It was leaking/perforated, so I had more intravenous antibiotics than I can measure. What's worse, a hernia appeared, and I go to have that repaired in a week.
It took a week and a half at home just to begin to be able to eat normally again, and I am still weak and tire quickly.

I thought nobody got appendicitis any more and it was just a trope of old WW2 Navy films.

This is nothing compared to the cancers others here have endured and overcome, but it's sure put me down.

I thought pretty much the same thing when I had my last gall bladder attack and removal. Take the time to rest and recover. We ain't 18 no more and it takes a bit longer to get back to normal. Get well soon.
