Alfred in the hospital

Under 'How I spent my weekend'...... in the ER!

 

My appendix decided it was time to come out.

So here is the timeline for my laparoscopic appendectomy surgery adventure:

 

Saturday early morning woke up with severe abdominal cramps...this lasts all day (this was the worst part of the entire ordeal). Decide to go to the ER at 7pm and end up in surgery by 1:30am. Wake up from surgery around 3am or so. I was able to leave the hospital by 6:30pm on Sunday (less that 24 hours after surgery!). Recovery time was rather quick too (mostly felt sore on Monday the day after coming home from the hospital)....didn't go to work for three days but then I was back to work by Thursday (but took it very easy at work for a few days). Not bad at all!
