Re:
Appendix Removed Through Vagina Had this been viable 40 years ago... 
I'd have gone to medical school and graduated Magna Cum Laude!!!
BTW my recent gallbladder surgery had them going through my belly button and my surgeon said I should not have any after effects--
Except for an occasional cramp... 
every 28 days.

Dude, check out post 44...I think it’s the Probulator’s cousin. You might want to see if you can get her digits.
