I've never had any organ removal though, when I was in hospital for what would become the origination of how I found out I was diabetic, I was never fond of how I could not get a single hour of sleep from every damned time I'd attempt to sleep, there would be someone trying to draw blood, which literally drove me nuts.
Oh wow. Yeah, thankfully it wasn't to that extent for me. Actually, at one point they wanted to start glucose testing on me (apparently due to one of the medications they were giving me), but after 5 days of daily blood draws (plus the one at the doctor and the other one when I was being admitted), 2 IV lines, and 3 shots to the abdomen, I declined having my fingers pinched.

I had a ruptured ovarian cyst once and it hurt so bad I went to take a shower and vomited everywhere just because I was standing up. I thought it was my appendix because it was in the same general area.
Fortunately I've had no such incidents since then. A lot of hair, but no more burst cysts

Yeah, appendicitis can sometimes be tricky to diagnose simply because other things can mirror it. Actually, people were doubting it was appendicitis in my case, because my pain was on the wrong side. Not sure what caused that.
