    My worst tummy ache was on election Tuesday, November, 1996.

    At the ER my high white cell count indicated appendicitis. My appendix exploded during the removal surgery.

    I spent the next two weeks on an absurd quantity of antibiotics not knowing I had a 40% survival prognosis.

    I survived but I am so on borrowed time.
