    if so, when? how?

    I was 13, and at first no one knew what it was.. my doctor thought it was only a stomach virus for like 2 weeks.. eventually since I kept puking everything I ate even water.. I was sent to the hospital.. and it turns out it was pretty badly infected, only since I had been taking so much antibiotics, it didn't show on the blood tests.. they didn't know until they cut me open, which one doctor advised my parents to ask the surgeon to do, while all the other doctors disagreed.

    nope. still have my tonsils too, and my wisdom teeth never even formed.

    keep your damn hands off me, medical establishment!









    i'm surprised it took you so long; i was under the impression that appendicitis was a quick moving disease where you pretty much deal with it in the first couple days or die. but then that might have also been 100 years ago; i don't know.

    Nope, I still have mine. My friend ate a rock in hopes that his will not burst, he believes eating a rock will give it something to do.

    I still have my tonsils too.. my wisdom teeth are 80% gone though..

    I am surprised it took me so long too.. so were the doctors afterwards.. who knows. A few weird things happens to me, medically speaking.

    Like when I was 2 a plugged-in pool pump fell into my pool, where I was sitting.. and I didn't die electrocuted.
