since she had a prior problem with her appendix it may take her awhile to recupreate this time. Lets ahope she can bounce back fast. My daughter age 51 had an emergency one about 2 weeks ago.she cannot lift anything over 10 lbs. Is back to work but had no prior complications. She needs to do some planning like take some classes thru interenet etc. I am hoping for her that all goes well and she can bounce back fast
