I had my appendix explode about four year ago when I ignored a bunch of symptoms. I like to pretend it was my stubbornness, but it was probably my willful ignorance. She must be tough, cuz, I felt it explode and it wasn't subtle. I think it's safe to say, better to have it happen at her age than 50.
FYI: My total bill was $500k~ish. I paid my yearly insurance max of $10k. It wasn't comfortable waiting for the insurance to pay at all. I kept getting bill after bill saying I owed it all for months until the insurance finally paid up. Just giving you a heads up.
Oh yeah, the stomach drain SUCKS. And that picture 😂 ... makes me want to say, "blink 3 times if you need help"
