Words marked or written on a bill of exchange (such as a draft) which stop the bill from being a negotiable instrument. While a check may be made non-negotiable merely by crossing it (drawing two parallel lines across its face), all other bills must have the words Not Negotiable written on their face.
With an unruptured appendix, the patient's recovery time is relatively quick. The morning after surgery, clear liquids are offered. Once those are tolerated, the diet progresses to solid food. Once the patient is eating and drinking, the intravenous is removed. Physical activity, such as getting out of bed, begins on the same day as surgery or the next morning.
An appendectomy is often done to remove the appendix when an infection has made it inflamed and swollen. This condition is known as appendicitis. The infection may occur when the opening of the appendix becomes clogged with bacteria and stool.
