>>All uneventful. She'll be home tomorrow.....
So now I can tell you that in my training days, ultrasound wasn't sufficiently advanced and in a girl of her presumed age, appendectomy via a lateral incision could well turn into something challenging. The first time I did an appendectomy in the night, I found what felt like a hard orange rather than an inflamed appendix. It was a torted ovarian teratoma with hair and teeth. These days she'll have had a fairly sure ultrasound diagnosis beforehand and a quick endoscopic grab so she can be home a little stiff but cheerful tomorrow. All the best!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
