Know how scary it can be when you're in substantial pain and have to have immediate medical care.

Three times over a 50 year period I've had emergency abdominal surgery . My last one was 10 years ago. No not appendicitis or child birth. Although the appendix was removed because they were in the abdomen anyway so why not!

Hope all goes well moving forward. Got a lot of folks rooting for you.
