Bye bye appendix

This was taken yesterday before surgery.... after surgery wasn't so pretty. Well, my grumbling appendix is gone! Yay! Except right now I'm still really hurting. I'm just happy I won't have to deal with all that pain anymore! I'm so glad the surgeon found what was wrong and that it actually ended up being my appendix afterall. What would we do without modern medicine?
I definitely have a greater appreciation for the nurse-patient relationship now. Oh man.... Blaine has been taking excellent care of me. Getting up and trying to move around is the PITS. Seriously, I couldn't have done this without all his help. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers! :-] Hopefully I'll be back to speed sooner than later :-]
