Well who would have thought that I would have had to undergo surgery in the weeks before my 1st semester exams. Definitely not something I had factored in to my timetable - or my budget for that matter. The fact that after 4 days of suffering in a fair amount of pain, saw me visit a doctor, get passed onto a surgeon, directed to the hospital across the way and an hour or so later on a gurney into the operating theatre gave me great faith in the ability of the healing profession to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering. The non medical staff along the way also seemed to be able to empathise with my painful appendix predicament. Two hours later and I was making lame jokes with the recovery room staff who were checking if I was still of sane mind and healthy body.
No appendix to take home in a bottle - that burst on the way out, but the scars to prove it and a bit more pressure on the exam timetable.
