Past weekend's adventure

Well, my appendix decided to interfere with us working on the boards this weekend.  We were just starting to settle down after a long day Saturday when all of the sudden my stomach started to hurt.  I say stomach, but I couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the pain.  It felt like all the muscles in my abdominal area were cramping up.  Anyways, it continually got worse throughout the night and after about 12 hours of pain I finally decided to mention something to my handsome husband.  Shockingly he wasn't happy with me keeping it a secret all night.  He ended up dragging me (kicking and screaming) to the doctors office.  The doctor ended up sending us over to the emergency room.  I tried to channel MacGyver for a daring or an ingenious escape plan on the drive over there but sadly I didn't have enough time.  After a lot of needles and tests (and a whole lot of waiting) they decided that it was "probably" my appendix and that I needed emergency surgery.  Turns out the surgeon guessed correctly and they had that troublemaker out of there in about an hour.  I got to come home Monday but I still can't do anything.  FYI... appendicitis didn't hurt as much as I expected, it's the post-surgery recovery that isn't fun.
