    Well about 4 in the morning I woke up feeling like someone stabbed me. I went to the hospital and had to go in for an emergency appendectomy ( appendix removed) at 10 this morning pacific time. Needless to say I will have plenty of time to post here from good ole room 583 from my iPhone . Hope all is well with everyone else!

    Well that's lousy. Hope you recover quickly. I just hate the post surgery recovery feeling. Something about the anesthetic just makes me feel bad for days on top of the surgery recovery; hope you aren't suffering from that. Appendectomy is one I haven't had though. Was it scope surgery or a big cut?

    That sucks on the 3 big cuts. Much longer healing time. At least it didn't rupture, that can get real serious, real fast.
