Author Topic: My sister had her appendix removed.  (Read 1622 times)

She started throwing up yesterday morning and stopped in the afternoon-ish. At about 2:30 in the morning, she started having stomach pains. And at 3:00 she woke me up by talking with my mom in the hallway. She could barely stand she was in so much pain. My mom called our doctor and she diagnosed her with having appendicitis. We took her to the emergency hospital, and shes having tests being done. Around 6, my dad came to take me home, but 7-ish she called and the doctors said something about too many white blood cells in her appendix, so basically, it's infected.

I'll bump this post to say if she does need it out or not when I get home from school around 6. (afterschool loel)

So discuss my sister's appendix.

Discuss her appendix? Uhh... ok...

It looks nice.

i like how the appendix protect bacteria that are beneficial in the function of the human colon

Don't worry too much, A lot of people I know have had this operation and were completely fine.

The only thing he has to worry about is his sister's appendix actually bursting.

My parents thought I needed appendicitis like two years ago.
Turns out I just had an intestinal virus.

Mine burst when I was in 1st grade, under normal circumstances I should be dead :o
But I was stuck with all the toxins being trapped in a small pocket of fat until the surgery.

But appendicitis sucks. I was screaming when I started feeling the pains, and I was still screaming in the hospital before my surgery. I was stuck there for a week :c

I had my appendix taken out a few years ago. I was in the hospital for like a month I think but I didn't know it cause I was asleep most of the time, or in surgery crap. I had to have a friggin tube stuck in my buttcheek so drain out stuff from my appendix. Not sure if everyone has to do that but I did... it sucked.

I still have all the scars on my belly from where they cut my open :o
I was asleep for about 6 hours, and the thing that annoyed me was that my mom kept trying to get me to talk :l

Look on the bright side, the appendix is a useless organ anyway.

So why is it there in the first place? :c

Because we once used it but due to evolution we no longer have a need for it

or something like that

It's not useless, just non-vital.

So why is it there in the first place? :c

Because it used to be used to digest nuts.

I had that happen to me. If she gets her appendix out before it bursts, it's only about 5 days in the hospital.
