What’s wild about appendicitis is

1. it just happens out of nowhere like we don’t really know what causes your appendix to get infected besides maybe constipation increases your chances

2. There’s literally nothing you can do to prevent getting appendicitis at some point in your life at complete random

3. 1 in 20 people will get appendicitis

4. It’s extremely serious and an emergency and you must go to the emergency room ASAP and will most likely need surgery to have your appendix removed

5. But it’s okay because we don’t actually know what the appendix does and it doesn’t seem to do anything so just getting rid of it is fine

6. And removing it is super easy it takes like 15 minutes to 90 minutes at most

7. But they gotta inflate you with gas like it’s e621 at the hospital tonight in order to do it and that ends up hurting worse than the appendicitis

By age 30 you should have an appendectomy

Can’t fucking believe that I literally fucking tweeted this last night as a joke on my private twitter thinking I was just having an IBS episode and I actually did have appendicitis

Oh, you still have your appendix? That’s cute. I just got mine removed actually. But it’s chill to have an appendix I mean it’s so 00s retro right? I’m like totally into that whole post-cringe self-acceptance culture thing these days so like yeah it’s totally fine that you have an appendix like you do you yknow? To each their own. I mean I could never but different strokes for different folks!
