Yuck. Sorry to hear.

That is clearly not the norm. Hope you are OK now.

Most antibiotics are for 5 or 10 days, at least from what I have seen. I had
my appendix taken out 2 weeks ago and they did not even send me home with
antibiotics, but did give me some during the operation (was home by that
night). Just came back from having staples removed - healing well.

Certainly nothing as scary as what you went through.
