appendicitis can...
« on: October 24, 2003, 01:47:32 PM »
... kiss my ass!

I do NOT want to go through that again.  7:30 am yesterday I get up and feels like I have major gas built up.  I think nothing of it, have some coffee, and ride the bus down to campus.  Midway through the first lecture, I run outta the classroom for 'emergency #2 procedures'.  I went, but no relief.  

Then came the vomiting and I said screw it, I'm out.  Call for a ride, head to the hospital and am in surgery less than an hour later.  Fun stuff!  not.  

Seems me and surgery go quite well together in October (last year was knee surgery).  

Ah well, just another normal Thursday for me.  Good thing is, it went well, nothing burst.  And I have a decent supply of vicodin :)

grr

Dude!  screw it,  stash the vicodin, complain about pain and ask for OxyContin  :)

Trust me, it makes life fun again....real fine buzz!

If fact, youll start to realize that surgery is almost worth the buzz of oxycontin.  Just dont take more than two in a four hour period and do not...I reapeat DO NOT have even a sip of whisky

Go do it !;)

My brother and sister in law left Sunday for a week long trip to Mexico.  Wednesday morning I got a call from the SIL saying that her better half was in the hospital with appendicitis.  He had surgery yesterday.  Damn, I don't what would scare me more.  The appendicitis or the thought of having it done in some Mexican hospital.  Yikes! :eek:

Thx guys.

My surgeon did a 3.5" incision.  He mentioned the scope from three different points was usually reserved for obese patients.

LOL I am not fat but they did go in thru my belly button.
But because mine had ruptured a little they kept me in hospital on antibiotics for 5 days with a drainage tube hanging out of me :eek:

My surgeon used a technique where the incision being about 1.75 inches and the stitches being of a dissolvable nature placed under the epidermis and the wound taped shut.

It happened three years ago and I can not find a scar and in fact, am no longer sure where the incision was made.

The wonderful thing about appendicitus is that once you have had that little bastard removed, it can never ever bother you again.  A transformation of sorts.  and like I said, the oxycontin made it into a very very bearable experience, yes....I do think I even enjoyed the whole thing.

Wow, scary stuff...out in a day? Excellent!

I've had two surgeries this year, in planning for number 3...more plastic surgery for my hand :(   I asked to push it up a few months...I can only take being one handed so much!

Scars:  I had a knee scoped a few years ago...cant really see the scars from the incisions...one i can....barely.
