Whew, no more appendix!
« on: April 09, 2013, 10:18:54 AM »
Sunday night we grilled and my stomach began hurting immediately after dinner. Took some Pepto-Bismol a couple of times and worried I had food poisoning but it didn't seem RIGHT for that.

Didn't sleep worth a damn but my next morning the pain had localized to a spot to the right of my navel about 4 inches. "Yep," I thought to myself and called the doc. Took out my appendix last night.

Bastard tried to kill me!

Well done, Denis!  Get healed up so you can enjoy some real nice riding weather.
All the best.  BTW, I'm local - if you need something while your're healing, give me a shout.

Denis,

 Wow, glad you're okay -Take care!



As a side note, did they put it in a little jar of juice and let you bring it home as a mimento?

Glad you got to it in time!  Heal quickly!  I remember my gall bladder attack 6 years ago, man did that sucker hurt!  Take care of yourself.

Glad you're OK!

And yes, grilled appendix sounds quite ghastly.

Hahaha, I was going to say that!

Thanks guys! Went off without a hitch but I came away without the appendix in a jar. I asked if I could have it and they said "NO"!
This is not the way I would have chosen to get a week off work but what the hell.

Sounds like less fun than a day at the beach, but it's a good thing you got it done ;D. I'm less than two weeks away from a new hip :o. Hospital trips are not the top[ of my "cool stuff to do" list. Take care of yourself bud.

Thanks guys! Last night was my first night back and boy, did I miss that adjustable bed this morning.
Still mostly on liquid diet but can have chicken soup. I guess that since I wanted to lose a couple of pounds in the beltline, this will do it.  ;D

No motorcycle stuff on the horizon for a while since I'm really limited on what I can pick up, but at least I have that Longhorn here.

Good luck with the hip replacement, Rick!
