<p>My appendix decided to pop about 10 days ago and I have been in the hospital most of the last 10 days. All I can say is that really was no way to spend what was supposed to be my vacation but better it happened the day we were to leave than in a strange city. Best thing about it is I never will have to worry about it again unlike all those chronic illnesses. They should just remove that thing when you hit 12 or so because it is no fun at all at my age. Whew. Now a week of home rest and no worries.</p>
<p>Thanks for letting us know and what a dramatic story. How lucky as you say that you weren’t stuck outta town. I hope you are feeling much better and that your week of recouping is somewhat enjoyable. Take care of yourself and keep us posted.</p>
<p>Hey…one question. I have all of this reading and you seem to have tons of time on your hands…how about it? Just kidding.</p>
<p>Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care.</p>
<p>Glad to hear that you’re feeling better, Barrons…appendicitis and peritonitis are scary. I had mine out sophomore year in college…fun as I thought I had a hangover at first! er…Now whenever my kids get a stomachache I start palpating that appendix spot just in case…they should take them out like tonsils!</p>
<p>Wow, glad to hear that you are going to be okay!</p>
<p>The Badger win last Saturday must have cheered you up!</p>
<p>Welcome back! I am glad that you’re doing well, and I wish you a very speedy complete recovery! What a bad way to spend your “vacation.”</p>
<p>Barrons:</p>
<p>You have been missed. I am very glad that you are recovering. I hope it is a speedy one. I have found post-surgery to be an expensive proposition. After mine, I redesigned the whole kitchen :)</p>
<p>Hope there are several someone(s) to pamper you during the home-rest-and-no-worries phase. The good thing about Sinners’ Alley is that you don’t need doctor’s permission to imbibe virtually. So head on over there when you’re in the mood.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear you’re ailing, glad you’re on the mend. Perhaps you and Idler (ruptured Achilles tendon) should get in touch for a little gin rummy while you recuperate. :)</p>
<p>barrons, that’s really a nasty thing to happen. All my best for a good recovery, with as much comfort as possible. Take care</p>
<p>Barrons, yikes. Well we finally have something in common. Now that your appendix is out, I advise you to keep a close eye on your index and table of contents.</p>
<p>Barrons,</p>
<p>Glad to hear that you are on the mend. So this means no drinking for you on SA for a little while, but if you can stand it pop in for the conversation and the floor show.</p>
<p>Barrons - good to have you back, sorry to hear you were ailing, very glad they got to the nasty appendix when they did. Take it easy, and like Madeleine - show us your scar ;).</p>
<p>Where did you have the work done?
Good to hear you are recovering. :)</p>
<p>Wow, so very sorry to hear this happened to you. Glad you were not out of town. The worst is now over, thankfully, and I hope each day you are on the mend. Take it easy!</p>
<p>
I thought it was LBJ who did that. ;)</p>

<p>OMG, I am soooooooooo sorry to hear about your ruptured appendix–it certainly would make a unique “How I Spent my Vacation” report! Here’s wishing you a full and speedy recovery and only HAPPY and FUN vacations in the future! Take care! ~berurah</p>
<p>Yikes. That can be scary and painful. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Glad you’re back. :)</p>
