    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
