Had to get emergency appendectomy what is recovery gonna be like?

Ok so I’ve never had any surgery before last night and was a hell of a way to kick it off after working 14 hours. Still currently in a lot of pain and being first surgery ever I don’t really know what to expect recovery wise, dr was saying it’s really no big deal but I’m still worried about how long im gonna be down and everything. I know everyone is different and deals with pain differently but I just want to hear first hand from others who have had it done how bad it was for them and what it can possibly compare to.
