So everything was going fine when all of a sudden bam! horrendous pain. I tried to ignore it for about hour but it was so bad I had to go to the ER and now I’ve been told I’m being prepped for emergency surgery! Honestly I’m scared, nervous and in pain. I don’t have many friends to reach out to and was hoping people could send something funny or recommend some fun things to watch while I recover?
Sorry for the selfie and stay safe out there people!

I like Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail. Once in the hospital the volume was out, but I watched & laughed because I knew the lines.

I mean, it's not the most unlikely scenario.

My vote is appendix.
CptJohnYossarian
Timing seems pretty quick for appendix. Maybe cyst accident? Well find out after the op I guess
Quizz25S
Appendixes can rupture with little or no warning. Mine did.
CptJohnYossarian
I know. But it's very rare for appendix to go from asymptomatic to exquisite pain all of a sudden. Normal appendixes don't just burst. - doc

Haha, sorry for trying to correct you then Doc! /Salute

I had the kidney stones. I wished for death.

Iv had kidney stones twice. The pain is so bad that I've been told it's worse then child birth and I believe it. I'll find out at some point
misslazrathe
I had a kidney stone the other day, I would rather have another baby, at least then I got an epidural lol. (Baby is 5 months old)

So did my coworker. He said he'd rather have covid

Same as long as I’m guaranteed not to die, covid all the way.

I'm trying to pass a kidney stone as we speak. I'm on Percocet all weekend and having surgery Monday if it doesn't pass by then.

I'm assuming appendix is the medical term for gender reassignment.

Of course. Because "Append" means "to add" and dix....well, you know....

You'll be ok! I had mine out when I was 9. Speedy recovery! The ice cream was the best part.
triestino21
Yep, happened to me several years ago. Went in for lapr....hell. told me small scar to see, woke with cut belly button down ?
prinskippleskipper63
The worst part is literally the drive home, speed bumps will make you a bit sore. Then it's all smooth slightly uncomfortable sailing.
DreadPierateRoberts
Status check....
malaph
I went through that too.. Youll be ok and life will be back to normal soon! Exciting story to share too
Smtrubie
Don’t run a marathon after. In and out. Had mine out 23 years ago and was in ICU for a week and half after. My how the times have changed.
HagglePuff
I'm no doctor, but i don't think you need your appendix touched during a gendr reassignment surgery.
prolurker2077
Mine ruptured when I was 10 and almost killed me. Hang in there!
JustAGuyWithEpilepsy
My appendix is the reason I have my username, very long story, but getting it out was an absolute breeze
drbloodbathmc
If my friend didn’t get hers out a few days ago I’d assume you were her.
MrNickAlphabet
Space cadet time is best time. Ugh i remember my appendix removal. So good not to feel that pain anymore!
tuathadedark
You're going to do great!!
oneeyedgod
Stupid traitor organ! Mine did it to me last year! Good luck!

I had my gallbladder out two months ago; recovery is not gonna be great but it WILL get better! Be gentle with yourself.

I had an appendicitis years ago. Spent like 18 hours in pain and way too much walking before going to the ER.

@op welcome to the club! Mine tried to kill me when I was 7. Little bastard.

When I got mine taken out I was sore for a few days but it hurt for weeks after everytime I would laughed.

i'm glad you've decided to donate your organs, seems a bit odd while you're still using them, but i'm not gonna argue.
Outnumberedbydogs
Mine was taken when I was 11, so I hope you have an awesome recovery!!
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
From what I heard, appendicitis hits with extreme pain and you pretty much have to go to surgery asap.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Sucks but get well soon
pizzaparty
The pain from mine came and went for days. Thought it was just gas. Finally hurt so bad I couldnt take it. Rolled up to the ER just in time.
JonnyTightlips
Depends. Sometimes slower onset and milder cases can sometimes be treated with antibiotics.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
That is good to hear. Everytime I feel sudden pain in the area around my appendix, I fear the worst. But then the pain subsides in minutes
NotACyberman
Piece of cake, the worst part is the soreness in the tiny openings and a little muscle soreness.
Corsair212
Yeah, appendicitis sucks. Hopefully you were fast enough and have a quick recovery! Morphine is a hell of a drug lol!
tg2222222
Unusual for it to come on so suddenly like that. At least it's easily treated.
MiniMegaOfParagonCity
I've been there, most pain I've ever been in. I was in grade six.
ScorneontheCob
I knew a guy who ignored an intense pain for days, passed out, woke up being told his appendix burst & went gangrenous.
geoffdunlop
Good luck! Lost mine when I was 16. Had an old school doctor that cut me open wide. You'll do much better in today's medical care!
stimpsonjcatt
You had your surgery at school? Rough
Bowieponie
Lol at the other comments, old school is a perfectly acceptable term right
xFryla
What the fuck? I am so glad school doctors aren't a thing here.

Cilvaa
Ugh, had mine out in 2009. Pain hit me out of nowhere. Was told I probably had the infection for days before the pain hit.
ForgeoftheWordsmith
I had mine out at 6, then broke all three bones in my left arm three weeks later, so I feel ya! Get better!
HemlockMoonwolf
I know the feeling! This happened to me back in December. Fucking blows
BishlamekGurpgork
I had neck surgery a while back. My spine took a hit, cord was swelling in the spine, pressing against it, could have stopped my breathing
BishlamekGurpgork
At any time. So they carved a pie wedge out of three vertebrae to let it breathe, and screwed them together because they didn't stack right
BishlamekGurpgork
anymore. I couldn't walk right, had numb hands and feet. Slowly my coordination and sensation came back, and life went on. My point is
BishlamekGurpgork
That, as scary and disruptive and stressful as this seems right now, you'll cross it and reach the other side.
TripUpStairs
I went into the ER and walked out the door within 12 hours. Laproscopic appendectomy. Just a little sore for a few weeks. You got this!
FrijolesTheGreat
Same, my appendix had it’s fun while driving home on the fwy. Went to closest McDonalds and called 911. That was fun.
Bowieponie
Probs depends if it was scheduled or it burst first. My brothers burst, and he was a few days in hospital. But that was like, 20 yrs ago
dragontail420
Same! You'll do just fine
stinkingyeti
I had pain in that area, turns out it was an omentum infarction, left hospital the day after surgery, walked out. Laproscopy is the balls!
Conboss
Brother had this at 16. I came back from swim lessons and he was on his way to ER. Didn’t see my parents that night, bro was a-ok tho!
uptaco
Same, but I developed an ileus due to the anesthetics. Right back to the hospital and was on IV nutrition for 2 weeks.
TripUpStairs
Oh no! So painful. How tired were you of nurses asking if you passed gas? Hope you're all good now.
uptaco
Oh yeah, this was 9 years ago. And my aunt was a nurse at the hospital, so I was asked extra often. Lol.
Prinzka
I was in the hospital for 2 weeks after my appendectomy.

A couple years ago on Christmas something wasn't feeling right, I suspected appendicitis. Drove myself to the ER and they confirmed. 1/

Had the surgery and was back at my parents house that same night. Next day drove up to the mountains because we had a cabin booked. 2/

Had to take it a little easy but was still able to go on walks and light hikes. Recovery isn't too bad, you've got this!! :)
HogwartsAlumnus
Didn’t feel right how?
xSharpNTearx
On Christmas Eve I was having sharp pain lower right abdomen, I was really hoping it was just from bad food from the party earlier. 1/

It was still there and still same quality in the morning. Then I checked McBurney's point (Google) and it was definitely positive so 2/

I would also like to know how u knew it wasn't right. Just in case it happens to me in the future @__@
