just fyi...my wife is a doctor so I always hit her up for advice on this kind of thing...a normal appendectomy while a simple procedure can knock you out for 2-4 weeks simply because it can leave your spleen in a vulnerable position so any big hit could really mess you up. An 'emergency' appendectomy can be worse if the appendix has actually ruptured prior to surgery so just be aware that depending on how it played out he might be out longer.

I had no idea, I always thought it was sorta like having your tonsils out but nope
