I had a part fresh out of machine spin during inspection.
Spent a little too long checking it out LOL

Dr doing the surgery ( when? ) Is top notch.
So it should be pretty routine

I gotta check benefits rep to do sick leave.
Went and burned a vac day for today.

But if they do tje surgery tomorrow, fugg it ill go to work

Good luck with the surgery.

I find it interesting about your hair thing. I always have a ball cap, fedora, or beanie hat on depending on conditions too. And my hair has touched my belt before. I always keep in hair ties when I'm not at home, and I guess sometimes when hunting it was tucked under my outer shirt.

Oh well, one must do what one must do.

Hope the nurses are cute................................and female

Addadicktomy


Good luck with that

😃

A few years ago I had much those same symptoms for 3 days straight. Finally drove myself to hospital. It was a ruptured appendix. Had me in intensive car for 8 days.

A couple of gas station burritos should fix you right up, hit them about 10:00 tonight when they a guaranteed to be at least 8 hours old. Bonus points for cheap hot sauce packets.

Happy to see you in good spirits !

Did the appendix thing in December 2017. Good thing it hit before I got on the plane, doc said I likely would not have made it. WTF.

Anyways, small incisions, you'll wake up with a drainage bag sewn into your gut. Pain will be gone. You'll be high as a kite for about 2 days. Get up and walk as soon as possible. Your intestines shut down due to the procedure and walking together with gravity will get them working again. Your first run to the chitter don't be embarrassed if you don't make it to the toilet seat before things start working.

I had complications. Apparently my gut grows a rare strain of e. coli so I got an e.coli infection that had the power of MRSA. I was in for 6 days. The antibiotics from the e. coli infection led to a c. diff infection so I had to get a PICC line installed and go to the hospital once a day for outpatient IV therapy for the c. diff drugs. That said, none of it was really painful and I was off the opioids 24-36 hours after the procedure.

Do expect to be very tired. I remember going to the hospital for the first day of outpatient IV therapy and not making it to the IV therapy room before needing a break from walking. I was 34 at the time. The first time you eat solid food will probably put you on the docket for a nap.

That's my experience, FWIW.

I have a relative that recommends Buffalo Chicken Rollers when one needs a gut bomb:

So far I'm holding off on his recommendation.

Good luck, Hook. You made the right call to go in.

Just got back from the ER myself. Did a 12344mag ladder dance. Was on a POS aluminum ladder trying to get my duck boat blind down outta the rafters. It was jammed a bit and I was leaning out a ways using some force. Told myself I was never gonna be one of those guys - Darwin candidate. Last thing I remember is seeing my shoelaces with the rafters in the background. My kid said he thought I was dead. Landed on my noggin and elbow. POS ladder folded like a cheap suit. Slight concussion, deep elbow bruise, but not broken. Body feels like I've been hit by a truck. Taking the rest of the day off.

Man, you are not helping me out. I've got to get up on the woodshed roof and put some sealer on some of the screws and nails the "builder" left shining and leaking into the shed. And I was thinking about using the cheap aluminum ladder instead of going all the way to the shop and dragging out the good heavy one.

Maybe I'll just stack up some pallets and boards instead.

I had the same symptoms as you and it was my appendix as well. Getting it out is no big deal. Guts feel a bit weird for a week or so.

Yeah, I passed on the good ladder because I didn't feel like hauling it out either. The POS aluminum was close at hand. Bad choice. Won't be a choice anymore because it's bent like a taco. If you want my professional opinion, pallets stacked with an upside down 5 gal bucket for that extra reach is your best bet to win the award.

LOL, piss those rocks in a bucket, you got bowhunting to do in a bit!

Simple operation, whether open or laparoscopic. If not ruptured yet - key is surgery without delay - you should be good as new right quick.

Glad they figured it out. Good luck with the surgery!
