Yeah, while the appendectomy isn't any fun, the twelve to twenty-four hours leading up to it is pretty hellish too.
Mmm... NPO for twenty four hours... Followed by ICE CHIPS Woohoo!!
Who can for get hospital jello as your next favorite entre?!?
And then... Waiting for the first bowel movement.
Aaahh. Memories.

Hmm...then I don't know if I was lucky or not. I came in to the hospital at 1:30 in the morning, they tested me, and by 7:30 the same day, they were cutting me open. I didn't have to bother with the not eating stuff. The Ice Chips really do suck though. I mean, let me drink something!!
However, the drugs they gave me were quite good. Demerol and Morphene...my parents say I was totally stoned out of my mind, I really can't remember.
Also, I went home the day after my surgery, probably about 28 hours after it. Is this normal? Also, the bowel movement thing...is it expected that it will take some time before such movements occur? Just some questions from a curious, and very unhappy Renegade. Ugh, time to take some more Tylonol 3's...see you all in the morning, with an update hopefully. If I can still move....
