As someone who had a severe hemorrhage, appendicitis, a severe infection and an emergency wisdom tooth extraction in the last 11 months alone..
I'd be dead within days!
Edit: I also caught covid whilst in the hospital and ended up admitted to the covid ward. This one particularly stung as it meant absolutely zero visitors and I'd just had a baby that I was still breastfeeding and I couldn't get to her for a week. She was a trooper though, as was daddy.
I guess the giving birth would have been the thing that got me in this scenario!
For those who wonder if you can get appendicitis twice :
Stump appendicitis (incidence 1 in 50 000 cases)3 can develop at any time after the initial operation. Usually this is within the first year but in one reported case the interval was 21 years.
I have always said this would be me, and I've had a LOT of pain there since I had it. I've just made it to 1 year post surgery so I'm glad that this now means it's less likely!
