Fun weekend

GAD · Mar 5, 2017

Had to call 911 at 2am after a full day of steadily increasing pain was suddenly accompanied by a 109 degree temperature. One emergency appendectomy later, I am waiting for the doctor's discharge order so I can go the hell home.

Wow.... I guess it's never too late for appendicitis hmmm? Never got that and I thought I was safe by now...

Glad to hear you're fixed! Pain is never fun.

109°!?! Wowza! I'm surprised they're not going to keep you longer.

Rest up!

Jeez, GAD. Glad to hear you're on the mend. I had mine taken out when I was around 15. Not a pleasant experience. Surgery techniques are more refined these days.

GAD · Mar 5, 2017

LOL. Not 109. More like 100.

shihan · Mar 5, 2017

Wow, sounds pretty scary. Glad you're on the mend. Getting the OK to leave the hospital is a happy moment.

Exactly GAD. I thought you were joshing, or something. At 109 it's curtains. Actually, I think the magic number is 105!:cool-new:

I had a hernia op done several years back. Out patient type approach these days. For my first hernia op back in '81, I stayed in hospital for 3 days! Anyway, this time, I'm in the recovery room, then a small hospital room after recovery. Nurse comes in and ask "Are you ready to go home?" I says, not quite yet. She returns shortly thereafter and asks the same question. I says, still relaxing, not ready yet. Nurse says, "Well, the hospital charges this room every 15 minutes!" Packed my bags!

Damn. Glad to read the temp update. 109 is more like a braise than a temp for a living human being.

GAD · Mar 5, 2017

Sorry about the temp thing. I was pretty heavilly medicated.

I''m 52. Never expected it, but I guess no one does. Apparentfly most people get it by the time they're 30. I always knew I was special.

At lest I've got a week of Guild time to look forward to, assuming I can get theem out of the casses

Just when I thought maybe there was hope of new frontiers of health.

I had my appendix out a couple of years ago, at 51. When it goes, it goes. Just be thankful it's the age of laparoscopy; I was back teaching in 3 days.

Got any left over. I could use some of that there medicatin'

rampside · Mar 6, 2017

Man, GAD!, that must've sucked. Glad you're on the road to recovery.

Reminds me of my daughters emergency appendectomy just 2 weeks before the start of her freshman year of college. The surgeon's name was Dr. Hatchet.
Took ME quite some time to recover. :biggrin:
