This is a diagram of where the evil appendix is located. Yesterday I was experiencing pain and I just thought it was cramps. As the evening progressed I ended up laying on the couch crying due to the pain. (It is amazing how the pain quickly escalates) Craig and my dad gave me a blessing and then we ended up going to the emergency room at 1 am. A few tests and hours later I now have three small incisions and a missing appendix. The doctor said that he was surprised that my appendix didn't rupture as it was 5-6 times the normal size! I am really grateful for the blessing I received and how it was a great source of sustenance throughout being in the hospital. The lamest part is that I can't go back to work until MONDAY! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! Aurgh!

Thanks to all of my friends and family that came and visited me! I really appreciated it. If anyone wants to be my couch buddy while Craig is at work the rest of the week just let me know :-)
