The Medical Notes (aka, proof that neither of us really know that much of
what's going on.)
To translate something like this, I asked my friend who knows a little bit about the subject. So here's the omake. *massive sweatdrop*

Notes from Eri Nightwind:
Actually, it usually starts out seeming like a really bad case of the flu - within 12-24 hours you have the doubling-over-in-pain.
Recovery time in-hospital is about a week, then about two-weeks home rest. I wasn't allowed to carry anything over 10 lb for the first three weeks after surgery and nothing over 15 lb for the next 4 after that.
You're knocked out during the whole thing with a general anesthetic. No wakey-wakey during surgery. Most people can't stand the sight of their guts being pulled around and cut up.
Emn, depends on if you get the full surgery or the partial surger (ie - big cut or series of small cuts). If he got the big cut, he'd have to stay in bed for the first 36 hours, no choice. If it's the little, then there wouldn't be any nausea, but there might be some really odd gas and a faint pinching sensation around the external stitches. (not painful, just strange).
It's rather difficult to mess with an IV unless you know what you're doing.
[About stitches:] Depends on what kind they are. Some dissolve by themselves - even external ones. That's how mine were.

Notes from Kamitra:
I've never seen what a hospital looks like or if a hospital fifteen years ago was vastly different from today in Japan, so I can't vouch for the authenticity of the idea. Going by what the author says, I'll believe the whole lot of it. ^^;;

From The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
Peritonitis -- an inflammation of the peritoneum Peritoneum -- the smooth transparent serous membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen of a mammal and is folded inward over the abdominal and pelvic viscera
....Actually, I still don't know what that means.
