(professional recreation)Last night I had to go to the ER. I woke up in the middle of the night with nearly unbearable stomach pains; fortunately my mother answered her phone and took me to northside hospital. I feared I would have appendicitis and have to get surgery. Luckily I was only diagnosed with gastritis (similar to a peptic ulcer). With a little diet change and some prescription strength antacid I ought to be just fine.
