What is the Appendix for Anyways

It was the morning of the Fall Festival at church and Matt woke up feeling a little sick. By the afternoon, we decided that I would take the girls to the festival, and Matt would go see the doctor. About an hour later I got a call from Matt saying he was headed to the ER to have his appendix looked at. I later joined Matt at the hospital where the doctors did decide that indeed he needed surgery. at 10p.m. Matt went in for surgery to have his appendix removed. Thankfully, all went well and Matt recovered well. Who needs their appendix anyways?
