Oh my goodness, I'm so glad that you got to the hospital right away instead of "manning up" indefinitely! Bless your wife for looking out for you! I hope this is fixed with the antibiotics and you don't need surgery. Sending you lots of positive vibes, please get well soon!
Over the weekend, I manned up pretty good, even doing a physical fitness challenge. But then on Monday, I was acting like a little bitch. It hurt pretty bad and I was whining so my wife knew it wasn't something minor. In fact, she suspected either appendicitis or diverticulitis.
Oh wow...sounds like you have pretty high pain tolerance!
