Got sick on the Sunday, worse on Monday, EXCRUCIATING on Monday night, Dad gave me 2 aspirin and said "We'll see how you are in the morning". 8am Tuesday at the doctors "Straight to A&E" he says. In A & E by 9am, shoved in the old lady ward (at 14) Saline to get my fluids up (I hadn't kept down water for 3 days), Oh No! Saline too cold, mild hypothermia, 5pm, temperature goes up to 104 and blood pressure drops in half. Surgery. BIG scar (it popped, the appendix I mean) Dad hit the roof about them maiming his daughter. (10 years on the scar is still huge and bright pink and all puckered up and horrible). 2 weeks in hospital in the old lady ward with cysts and abscesses all over my bowel and inside my abdomen from the exploded infected appendix.
Super fun times!

But I still think migraines are worse.
