Don’t rule out some stomach pain as just constipation or something simple. Visit a doctor as soon as possible when the pain becomes unbearable.

Whether you are sixteen or sixty years old, this damn thing can get inflamed and could burst if not surgically removed. When left untreated, the result can be life-threatening. Your body will be poisoned by the toxins released in your system.

A month ago, a sixty-year-old work colleague went on a couple of weeks’ holiday with her family and relatives. She had not seen them in so long due to covid restrictions, so she could not contain her excitement.

She was excited as they were booked to join a senior golf tournament. She loves golf, a true avid fan of the sport. The plan was to mix her holiday with a bit of golf. Everything was sorted, and she could not wait for her holiday to start.

On her last day of work, while looking out the window, the clouds weren’t looking very friendly, nor did the weather forecast for the next couple of weeks. So, we both hoped the weather would be kind when her holiday started so she could still play golf and be outdoors.
