The Mutha is a statistic.

I know I just made a post about my childhood ailments, how my mom reacted when we seemed the least bit "off" and how she couldn't stand being sick or around others who are sick. Well tonight she is in the hospital recovering from an emergency appendectomy.

Apparently in the US, 1 in 15 people will get appendicitis. In case you're wondering, "Just what is the appendix and where is it?" I've posted a picture below for your reference.



It's just a tiny 3 1/2 inch thing. No one is for sure why we have it. But 1 in 15 of you guys will need it removed at some time in your life? Why not just take it out as routine prevention or something?

I'm not so worried about whether or not Mom will recover...I know that she will, it's a routine surgery. What comes with routine surgeries? Anesthesia. What oftentimes happens as you're coming out of the anesthesia? Vomicking. Oh, Lord, please give those recovery room nurses the patience to deal with the vomicking woman who could, prior to this visit, count on one hand how many times in her entire life she's vomicked.
