I was taken into hospital last Tuesday with the most horrific stomach pain I've ever experienced. Had the useless little appendage removed (my appendix, not the other one) and I tell you what it has knocked me for six.

Just got out of hospital today and I feel weak as a kitten and been signed off work for three weeks. They tell me the whole area was full of infections and the appendix itself was practically "in bits".

Anyone been through this torture? Any tips or advice on when i might start feeling normal again?

Cheers
