Yep, I’m the new, recent owner of my very own appendectomy performed 6/18/2008.  While the above picture appears brutal, I’m grateful to have had the procedure done in the age of laparoscope and small incision vs. the old days of large incisions (and scars).

My recommendation is this: if you experience right-side abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and a low-grade fever, listen to your significant other and seek out a doctor.  As annoying and painful as an appendectomy is, the alternative isn’t nearly as pleasant.  smile
