I had been having abdominal pain since Friday night. This morning it wa worse and had moved to my RLQ. Hoping that it was just gas pain or something I ate. I thought I will go for a run and try and get this out of my system. I started running and the first mile was terrible. The next mile was much better. I stopped at my usual turn around point on Wade and almost puked. Unfortunately i was 2 miles from home. I ran back home very slowly and painfully then went to the hospital and was confirmed to have appendicitis.
