Sympathy Pains

I woke up at 2:00 in the morning May 6 and had terrible stomach pain. I do not usually get belly aches (not to be confused with belly aching!) or even wake up when I don't feel well so I knew something was wrong. Actually I joked that I was having sympathy pains for our boy Avett. As the day progressed, the pain subsided but Jim talked me into going to the Emergency Room. Good thing - I am typing from my hospital bed at the Wake Med Main Campus. At about 4:00 this morning, they removed my appendix. They gave me a picture so I will post it when I get home. I am a bit sore but feel better, just very tired.
