Last time that happened to me the surgeon held off and determined I had an infection in my stomach/gut and started me on some 'nasty' antibiotics. I was feeling better in a day. I say 'nasty' as the pills even made water taste bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted March 13, 2023 Share #25 Posted March 13, 2023 Wow! I’m sorry, Ralph. And wondering whether you’re having surgery. mr. had a ruptured appendix when he was 17 and spent a week in the hospital after surgery.

BuffJim Posted March 13, 2023 Share #30 Posted March 13, 2023 Best wishes. My ex got this while we were on vacation in Maine. Fairly routine, and recovered completely after a couple weeks. Of course we moved to a new city the weekend after she got out of the hospital. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted March 13, 2023 Share #31 Posted March 13, 2023 I guess I shouldn’t tell you about the time my brother’s appendix burst while he was working in Africa about 5 years ago. It was wildly misdiagnosed, but the antibiotics they gave him still saved his life. He got proper treatment back in the US. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nurse was incredibly nice and supportive. I am very thankful for that! Nonetheless, I was getting the same threat, but that comes from the hospitalist. He stopped in and we had a good talk though and I peed enough in the nick of time. Just got an all clear from the surgical team. Just ordered a breakfast that sounds great on paper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An appendix doesn’t do shit except sit there waiting to burst! I have a picture I can post. I didn’t understand it until my doctor daughter explained it to me. It looks like a small worm. Now I am part of the club that shares appendix stories. So far mine is one of the better ones because the pain sent me to the ER poste haste. One of the surgery prep nurses told how she waited, just thought it was a stomachache, then had to spend a week recovering from the infection in the horsespittle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another person at the horsespittle said he asked the sturgeon to remove his appendix while they were in there to remove his gall bladder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
