And, WHY did we have to wait until our age to have an appendicitis? Here in the states, they wanted to send me home after the intial tests came back normal. I told them in no uncertain terms that I WAS staying and deal with it. Reminds me of that movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" where the character says, "Cause I'm older and I have more insurance". I'm done with meekly being told what to do and doing it. We know when something is wrong with our bodies. '9' hours later I was in surgery with a gangrenous appendix being removed. And it cost me close to 6k to be ignored. Robin, aren’t you glad those pesky things don’t grow back! And, WHY did we have to wait until our age to have an appendicitis?
