Prayer needed!

I've been couped up at home for the last few days fighting appendicitis. The pain in my lower right abdomen has gone from sharp, sporadic pain to dull, continuous pain. I've been running a fever for almost a week, and my belly is bloating like balloon. Looking in the mirror, I am not beautiful, I am pale, disheveled, and spiritless. Then I was thinking, I want to ask God, why, why do you want people to get sick? As if surviving our everyday life is not hard enough. Do God want the illness to make us realize that we are not invincible, to humble us, or just to torture us? Is he trying to teach us something? Strangely, though my body is enduring the excruciating pain, my mind is at peace, as opposed to being restless, antsy, and frustrated over the trivial things in my life. now I can focus mainly on my illness, use all my means to cure myself. I can take my mind off those worries, read a book, listen to music, and take a nap... I am taking a vacation... somehow in my heart, I believe God will cure me eventually, and faith is my best medicine. So I am asking you, would you please pray for me... ...
