I woke up one day with a "stomach ache" and went to school. It got worse all day but I stuck it out until dismissal. I got home and took a nap because I thought sleep would ease the pain. I woke up and I couldn't stand up because of the sheer pain. My parents took me to the emergency room from there. Upon arriving at the hospital it was determined I had appendicitis, and my appendix was SO inflamed that is was as close to rupturing as possible with actually rupturing. A usually 2 hour surgery lasted almost 4 hours as my appendix spread puss in my pelvic region. I woke up hours later in the recovery room, tired, hungry, yet happy everything went over well. I'd say the pain ended there but the scars left behind felt almost as bad as the appendicitis itself, yet that faded with time. That week period was by far the most painful experience of my life.
