appendix delete mod!

Well, I just got back home after my appendix delete mod. I hope I start running better soon b/c I ain't running well right now, lol.
Went to work yesterday morning and developed a stomach ache and after a few painful hours I went to the ER. The mechanics there there said my appendix had malfunctioned and it should be removed. long story short....I am at home cryen like a baby recovering. All will be well though

The good news is you did not have an exhaust leak.





Hope you feel better real soon. Damn, that's gotta hurt.

Glad you were smart enough to head for the ER when the pain got to you. A burst appendix has killed many a man. The pain goes away, but the body fills with poison and then you are in deep s**t.

Yes, I was smart/lucky. The pain did subside (but still hurt, just not as much) but I found a "pain" spot where I could push a little and I felt a SHARP pain (on command). I knew then something was wrong. My wife (the cyber-chondriac) told me what it was. I dropped the truck off at the house and the Ball-N-Chain (who, btw is turning out to be a pretty good wife and mother) drove me in.

You Know when You drink too much (like myself)...Never had an issue, but when the pain came from my appendix, I thought...Maybe it's my liver!!!

I think that you mean, "and then deep s**t is in you."

I had that mod done on christmas morning and it was my daughters first christmas. Not too bad I guess morphine helped while I was in, but if you think laughing hurts I got the hiccups the night I had surgery talk about pain.
