Ill at the same time every year requiring some type of surgery since 2011

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Today while extremely ill I realized almost every year since 2011 I get sick two weeks exactly before Memorial Day. I have actually had emergency surgery in 2011 for a burst appendix on Memorial Day. I am sick now and contemplating reaching out to my doctor. I remembered suddenly when I looked at the date that I took leave same day last year for an unusual medical issue not related, surgery followed, same in 2014- gallbladder, same time in 2012 blocked intestine/hernia. I have skipped a year or two in between, but this year I am ill right on time apparently, no more organs that can be removed to my knowledge.
