Well, that took a bit longer to make happen than I expected.
It actually happened a few days ago on the 6th. I went in early in the morning, and left at about 4pm with three small incisions on my belly that have literally been glued together again, and minus one appendix.
Right now I'm on Tylenol (Paracetamol to those not in the USA) tablets that include 5mg of Hydrocodone for extra fun... As if I would be that fortunate. My liver is living up to the family tradition* of being ridiculously effective so I don't even feel it. I had to go and check to see if it safe to start on my Naproxen again (500mg tablets twice a day to fend off the pain from the developing arthritis in my cervical spine).
Combining the Tylenol+Hydrocodone with the Naproxen did the trick, and any drowsiness I'm feeling is strictly due to my sleep cycle being all over the damn place.
* - My maternal grandfather was the type of man that can pack away an entire CASE of beers, and then drive like a priest on Sunday - albeit one who was running late to give his sermon. And he was NOT a big man by any measure. He was a short, fiery Creole man known for laying out other men twice his size, because NAVY GODDAMMIT.
