Useless Organs

Dave ended up getting his Appendix out on Friday, February 19. The surgery went really well and faster than expected. They had prepared us for a long 3 hour surgery, but they only had him in the OR for 1 hour at the most. It was a LONG 1 hour but the surgeon told me it had healed really nicely and everything came out beautifully. We got to come home 3 hours after his surgery. He hurt, but was back to work by Monday morning. SUCH A MAN! He did hurt very bad Monday night and we got him to take his pain pills. He was more upset that they shaved his stomach than the pain. We tallied all the bills that came because of his 'useless organ' and they came to a grand total of $27,250. We are SO lucky we have GREAT insurance and had to pay less that $1,000 of it. I'm glad it's over and he is better.
