How long did it take to recuperate from a burst appendix?

I had emergency surgery on June 23rd for a burst appendix. Symptoms were not like in the movies!

I Had laparoscopic surgery and antibiotics for 4 days. Was released and have been back to work for 2 weeks. Felt I was doing well. BUT Have to tell you there are afternoons that I get TIRED. No fever or any other symptoms. I know with a reinfection from the burst appendix there would be fever and some pain I imagine. Little worried cause the pain from the burst appendix wasn't as bad as I would have thought. Input??? How have other similar recoveries gone???

    You could be lucky that they have done their work pretty good. Normally, if treated to late the person might die, so they got all the pus and stuff out of you and cleaned it well. Sometimes it takes weeks to recuperate from this, so again, you're a lucky one..
