Default Appendicitis

Started having stomach pain at work yesterday around 2 pm......it kept getting worse and I left at 4 pm......got home and was doubled over at that point and my wife took me to the ER on my doctors advice. After exams and tests (including CAT scan) I was diagnosed with appendictis and by 11 pm I was in the OR having it removed laproscopically. I had 3 tiny incisions in my freshly shaven belly. Got home by lunch today. I am popping percoset right now but hope to go to Advil tomorrow. Still managed to go watch my sons Little League game though!

It is not fun! On their pain scale of 1-10 I went with an 8 at worst only because I had kidney stones 14 years ago and that was a 10+!

Recovery time is supposed to be minimal with possible return to work Monday.....might have to milk one extra day out of it!

Hope you're feeling better. Milk the extra day and go fishing.
Those are Dr. Chumbucket's orders.

Kevin,

Hope you are feeling better soon. The party is still on for tomorrow, and there will be plenty of cold beer. That has to somehow help the healing process especially when mixed with percoset !!!

glad you're feelin better whale. My cousin had his appendix rupture at a Mets game years ago. He puked [serious projectile] all over the people that were sitting in front of us. It was pretty serious drama as it happened but we got him to a hospital REAL quick. Of course we laugh about it now....those poor people in front......nasty

You got lucky there.......some people spend a lot of time in the hospital for that.

Hope you continue to heal.

Got in to see the doc and he thinks I have an absest infection in my throat and will need to have my tonsiles removed(never had it done as a kid). Problem is that my throat is swollen so bad they can't see what is wrong with it. So he gave me a shot and some antibiotics and I have to go back next week to find out for certain. I'm so tired that I keep blacking out from it as well. THIS SUCKS!
