In the Hospital

Travelling for work this week and ended up in St Louis last night. The good thing is I got to see and by a car that I wanted (92 Mazda Miata - one owner 37K miles with a Jackson Racing Supercharger and a matching hard top. The bad thing was at the hotel I started feeling under the weather. Fell asleep on top of the bed a 9:00, woke up at 11:30. Pain in my abdomen was getting worse. Tried to sleep it off, as all that I was planning to do was drive home. When it got to be 4:30 and I couldn't sleep, I gave myself a Google diagnosis http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif of appendicitis. One trip to the emergency room, one CT scan and I was on the operating table by 9:45. So, I am stuck in St Louis hospital tomorrow for sure, maybe not released until Saturday. Hate that it happened away from home, but they are taking good care of me. Security even went out to my truck to retrieved my laptop and he had a charger that would fit my phone so topped off the low battery.

It's a good thing you went in quickly. If your appendix ruptures, it can be really serious. I had mine out when I was 9 years old. It was pretty scary to go in the operating room at that age. That was back when they really sliced you open, too. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

You will recover very quickly the way they do it now. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

Damn that's not good! Hope you feel better!

get well soon

Update:

Things went great. Surgery Thursday AM, Drove myself home to NE on Friday AM. Never took a single pain med since the surgery, other than a couple IB's on the way home to prevent swelling. Up and around all weekend and back at work today. Suprised there was no residual pain. Had about a 1 1/2" incision. Can't really even feel it. Wierd.
