Here goes...

I show-up at my PCP with suspicion of appendicitis at 07:50 yesterday morning.

By 12:15, I'm going in for a CT-scan at a nearby hospital.

Not 45-minutes later, the scan is done, has been read, the diagnosis confirmed, and I'm off to the ER.

Now, because it's nutty at the hospital yesterday it actually takes a little over 3-hours to get into the ER, and another 2 before I'm seen.  Everyone apologizes for the long wait.

I'm in surgery 75-minutes after seeing the first ER doctor, and out of surgery about 90-minutes later.

And here, some 15-hours after surgery to remove an inflamed appendix, I'm in my own home, ready to fly Air Percocet, and in pretty darn good shape otherwise.

A marvel, truly.

Glad this happened before Obamacare hits.
