Forgot to ask - keyhole or Kruger...?

OW! Abdominal surgery is never fun but orthopedic surgery is a major bit of pain. Good luck to the both of you!

Hail, you Harvester of Appendixes/Veteran of a 1,000 Abdominal Surgeries, something is on its way to you. Several little packages actually. Don't fear the Healing.

Thank you, kind sir!
I don't have the stomach for these jokes!

Gastronomy!
The clock stricks twelve, appendix burst,
Out at you from it's hiding place...

"Gastronomy"

That had me laughing out loud - even at 1 am in the morning in the office ...

Glad you are ok. My grandfather died in 1932 when my dad was only 3 - he had abdominal pain, doctor told him to sleep on it, it burst and he died.

I had mine out when I was 20 - that was back in the days when they let you recover in the hospital, I was there for 3-4 days. I remember when I was told I could drink water - they didn't tell me that I wouldn't be able to pee! They turned on all the faucets but it didn't help, and the other poor guys in the room had to go instead, including this guy who had been hit by a car and was in a body cast! I woke up in so much pain that I finally went to the desk to ~~ask~~ beg them for the catheter, but no one was there so I went back to bed and finally peed the next day.

Good luck to you both and speedy recovery

Good luck Rick. At least the ortho surgeries tend to be very successful, although a bit painful Best wishes!

Lol Denis!

That's one of my fave BOC songs, it'll never be the same!

Glad things worked out OK! I've been there and it's not fun...

Denis · April 22, 2013, 11:47:49 AM

Had my followup today. Everything looks great, so I've been cleared! Still have to avoid heavy lifting for a little while, but I'm good to go.
Thanks for all the well-wishing!

Great, that's good news. Take care and don't drink any Fosters.
