Any of you ever get appendicitis? Seeing a doctor in a couple hours to see if i have it.
I thought it was just a monster fart stuck in my guts but it turns out i might die
- yea, when I was around 20. I was so close to appendix rupturing. weird symptoms about a week before. lots of unexplained puking.futurefood
- best thing that came out of it was a stay in the hospital and the generous allowance of morphine! good luck!futurefood
- Glad you’re okay now. Crazy how this organ seems to only exist to give us griefscarabin
- I’m hoping because it’s only been 24 hours they can just hit me with some antibiotics and send me home :/scarabin
- I had it with 17, missed carnival, was operated and I was in the hospital for 4 days.oey_oey
- Thanks. mine was considered acute, since it came on so quickly. I think it may also be hereditary.futurefood
- After my appendix removal I found out my dad and grandfather needed theirs removed as well.futurefood
- I understand that most cases can be treated with very strong antibiotics now.futurefood
- no surgery needed. thus, no morphine drip..sadlyfuturefood
- Yep. Mine burst.i_monk
- Yep, excruciatingly painful. Misdiagnosed and was sent home by the doctors. It then turned into peritonitis and diverticulitis and I was extremely sick.BuddhaHat
- A bunch of other shit happened and I definitely thought I might die for a bit. I was in hospital for a month. I suspect you'll fare a lot better, as you're notBuddhaHat
- in a regional Spanish hospital staffed by incompetents.BuddhaHat
- We've got the same problem with our oldest daugther Buddha... A chain of incompetences, we almost lost her.OBBTKN
- I prefer not to remember. But one day we ran into one of the nurses on the street... And he tearfully apologized to us.OBBTKN
- All the history papers disappeared, as if she had not even been admitted or operated. Twice!!OBBTKN
- Please scarabin, take it seriously, if it gets complicated, it can be very serious! Take careOBBTKN
- Over three days I was on morphine, oxy, and percocet, then felt fine and was walking like normal by the end of the week. Hernia operation was a harder recovery.i_monk
- crap, I hope you get rid of it asap. take care********
- Jeez, that’s rough, obbtkn. Glad she’s okay now!scarabin
- sorry to hear OBB that must have been terrifying :( if I was back in Spain I know there is an anaesthetist and surgeon who I would go after with a hammer.BuddhaHat
- Wow, sounds tough going. You make it through this? Apparently, if you have your appendix removed, you can eat them to give superpowers. Might be wrong though!Ianbolton
