Back from the dead
Well,
I'm back home now, so they've they've thrown me out of the hospital. I still walk (and feel) like an old man.
The problem was that it wasn't a usual appendicitis, but an appendicitis gone bad! It seems that if you leave the thing festering for long enough, the thing will simply explode and fill your lower abdomen with all kinds of nasty and poisonous stuff.
When I got to the hospital they gave me two shots of morphine, which didn't reduce the pain at all......I guess with my size I'd need the special 'elephant dart gun' treatment. The doc told me that had I been two or three hours later, I would have been dead. And I just figured I had a little tummy ache, until sunday morning, when I felt something rupture inside, and I was convinced someone had shoved a flaming sword through my guts.....
But, I'm back, and I'll get better.
Thanks for the support guys.
