I had appendicitis (sp?) over the summer and had to have surgery. Up until then I had NEVER been to the hospital. Not one broken bone, major sickness, or anything. Anyway, I of course had to have surgery to get that removed. At first it didn't bother me that much because I was in so much pain and would have welcomed death, or a scalpel, whichever came first.
However, when the surgery got closer (they kept me in the hospital a good 4 hours waiting on the surgery), I was scared absoultely out of my mind. I was afraid they wouldn't get all of my appendix and I'd have to have surgery again. Don't ask why I was afraid of that, I have no idea. Must've been the drugs.

Overall the procedure wasn't that bad, I don't even remember the nurses putting me to sleep, and the thing that hurt the worst was taking out the catheder (holy CRAP that sucked).
