Surprise...

 Well, as most of you know by now, I was sent to the hospital the other night due to extreme pain in my lower right adominal area.  What I thought was food poisoning earlier on in the day turned out to be something more serious.  When I got to the hospital, they did a CT scan (or was it CAT scan...I don't remember) and confirmed that indeed my appendix needed to come out.  It was a laproscopic surgery meaning they made a small incision in my belly button and took the whole thing out through there...pretty interesting.  I spent about a day and a half in the hospital.  For reasons still not completely clear to me, I was put on the pediatric floor.  They clearly knew I was not under 18, and I heard two things: 1. They wanted to give me a private room, so they put me in the very scarcely populated pediatric unit and 2.  Since I wasn't staying long, they wanted to keep the beds in the surgical unit free for people who had to recover for a long time.  Either way I didn't mind it.  It was quiet, I had my own room and the nurses seemed happy to deal with me, an adult, who hardly ever bothered them.  I am home now and feeling pretty good...a little sore, but ok.

Below are some pics of when Felix came to visit with the kids.  Felix is getting as good as I am now with bringing the camera...he purposely brought it on the visit so that we could blog about this...funny.
