Well I guess I am getting prepped up for surgery. The surgeon said he's pretty sure it's the appendix. We waited monitoring me to rule it out overnight in case it was the burst ovarian cyst but he thinks that's the culprint considering my blood work today showed infection fighting markers. He wants to remove it. He also said he wants to remove it even if he gets in and finds out it's not the appendix since the CT scan showed there are a couple appendicoliths. But he has also told me that if I feel strongly about not removing it if he finds out that's not where the issue comes from he respects my wish and won't remove it.
I feel like if we have an organ it's there for a reason. I still have all my wisdom teeth in. But I really don't know. Since later it sounds this could be a lot more complicated surgery.
I wonder what you and some of our trusted docs on here think about this? #asknostr

A bursted appendix is one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever seen someone go through. You don’t want to live through that.
I wouldn’t think twice: take out appendix if they’re doing surgery.
Although I can’t think of the last time it wasn’t me telling the surgeon that the problem either is or isn’t the appendix.
I'm not a doc, but my 2 sats is, just don't rush into it. Be a health investigator for a little while. The doc wants to get paid ; you want to live well and long. Different incentives, possibly different outcomes.
In either case, good luck. Sending white light to surround you.
I wish you well no matter what you decide.
Im not a doc but I truly believe in second opinions. I think we dont do thet enough today. Especially with health.
Just my experience but I run every case of my family through chatgpt deep researches (gpt 5 pro) and gemini to understand the decision trees and probabilities.
So far haven't run into mistakes by the doctor but did save us unnecessary delays.
I have lived through that, we had lengthy conversation with the doctor and finally decided to remove it. According to latest studies it seems that one of the functions of it is to harbour gut bacteria in the event of severe diarrhoea, but with our modern diet it is prone to keep the bad bacteria in. Here doctors say that up until about 20 years old they try to save it, but with fully grown adults they tend to remove it as the infection can be life threatening. After the surgery the doctor told me it was ready to burst, so it was a good call.
Wish you luck with the surgery!
Thank you! 🫂🕊️
I'm sorry you're faced with such a hard choice and the fear that comes with it. I hope you'll recover well and quicky after whatever you decide.
Best of luck, hopefully you find the culprit and get it sorted asap! 🙏
Every body part serves multiple functions
Just now seeing this. Blessings to you, Love. Sending healing energy your way.
Just seeing this. I see you had the surgery and I hope you are recovering well.
See this, but it's 14 days ago... 😒 I hope you are recovering well !
