If I'm not mistaken, you no longer have an appendix, so you have that going for you. I had a resection 5 years ago, take it slow for a couple of days. Take your pain killers or switch to Ibuprofen when they say you can. Getting behind the pain curve sucks and you don't have that morphine drip anymore. The narcotics will constipate you, so a stool softener is a good idea until you're off them.
If you would like we could send Enerjay over to be your cruise director. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
