Today's Appendix Update
January 30, 2008
It looks like my gastroenterologist has found me a surgeon, Dr. Megan Cavanaugh.

and just think how lucky you are to live in the era of laproscopic appendix removal! when i had mysterious gastro-intestinal problems they just kinda randomly decided it was my appendix (was not) and when the opened me up and found something else, they just took it out anyway. and these were the days of the abdominal wall incision. which takes 9 million years to recover from. and causes peripheral issues. i spent FAR too large a portion of my late teens trying to keep from weeing my pants. boo.
