LostGal,
Are you talking about laparoscopy (sp?)?

I had that done in April and it went fine! While they were in there they discovered an appendix about to burst, so I had to recover from the appendectomy--which was hellish--but had I only the lap incisions, I think I would have been fine within a couple of days.

Interestingly enough, my H and I were talking about this just last night. My mother called and is nursing a young co-worker through an appendectomy (they are out of state). He is not married and she did not want to leave him in a weird state with no family there. I remarked to H that she will do this for a near-stranger but when I had my surgery and had to come home the next day and then take care of my 3 little ones while H went back to work, she was nowhere to be found.
People are STRANGE!!

Honey, who is not resentful, noooooooooooooooooooo.

P.S. LostGal, let us know how everything goes. Take care of yourself!
