(Mike's POV)
I woke up and heard the beeping of the monitors and saw myself hooked up to many machines. Then I turned my head around and saw my mothers sad face. But when she saw my eyes open her face quickly changed to a large smile.
" Hey buddy how are you doing?" My mom asked, happy to see me awake. I was going to answer but then I felt a sting on my right side but I it wasn't like before. It didn't hurt as much. I reached out to touch it but then my mom stopped me.
" No, don't touch it, that's where you got surgery." My mom said
" Wait what! I got surgery! Why?" I asked.
" The doctors took x-rays," Mom said as she looked down, " They found out that you had appendicitis." Appendicitis of course, that's why my stomach always hurt only on the right side. Then I looked down through looked the head hole and saw stitches. They creeped me out. My number one fear is getting surgery but good thing I was asleep the entire time.
" The doctors say that they will keep you here for two weeks and see if anything happens. Also your body needs to also get accustomed to not having an appendix and if you get an reaction they'll know."
"Two weeks! What will my friends say?" I asked my mom.
"Actually three" she added, " You have to stay home for a week."
"Three!" I exclaimed
"Mike", she said " You have more things to worry about than what your friends will think."
" I know" I said.My mom rubbed my hair. Then she left the room.
2 weeks later.......
A doctor came in and took my blood pressure and gave me some weird medicine. Then left. I got some really gross hospital lunch. I couldn't eat anything too strong or my stomach might start hurting again. Then a doctor came in and said some things I have to do for a month before I got discharged.
"First no extracurricular activities after school you must come straight home."
" What why? Can't I do A.V. Club at least.?"
"No, because you need to rest and not put too much pressure on your body."
" But.." My mom gave me a glare.
" Next you have to go to the school nurse during any physical activities for the same reason."
" What! What are people going to think?" My mom gave me the same death stare.
" Ok, fine. They gave me a paper and some of the gross medicine to take home and have every day. Then I got up off the bed and this was surprising and couldn't even stand up my hand was on my mom's shoulder I couldn't even move my legs without help. Then when I got home I saw my dad, Nancy's and Holly's face.
Mom said quickly " No touching him first he needs to go to his bed" My family nodded. Then my mom carried me up to my room. It felt so good to see my own bed.
