hi. its my first time on this site. iwas just browsing thru when i saw your touching story. i had an emergency appendicectomy and hemicolectomy 3years ago and it was quite a challenging experience for me. there is nothing worse than to be told you need an hour's surgery and you wake up five or six hours later to find staples holding your stomach together. i can tell you what a strong and courageous young man you are. after my surgery my parents told me that when i saw my scar i fainted from the shock the doctors had to keep me in intensive care heavily sedated for two more days. initially the doctors had told me i was going to have a laparoscopic surgery to take out my inflamed appendix and during the surgery they discovered a tumor looking something almost the size of my little girls fist and they made the decision to open me up and take out a foot long of my right colon. after all the shock had gone i was really thankful to the doctors for saving my life even the scar i cherish it a lot because its a reminder of when i almost lost my life without even knowing it. to put in better terms; i was a walking time bomb waiting to explode any time. its good to know you can keep your head up after an experience like that. i am sure by now you are feeling better and you managed to resume your education. as for me it took me at least two years to really start leaving a normal life and i am back at University doing my Science Foundation Course.
