Just had surgery for a ruptured appendix so I’ll be under observation for a while. Then I find out two pipes I ordered just came in the mail today. Can’t see them, play with them or smoke them! Aarrgh...
Man, didn’t your abdomen hurt something fierce before this happened!!??
Best of luck and quick recovery!

Started out as simple flank pain. First it was possible kidney stones, then gall stones. ER doctor thought it was the kidney but lo and behold the CAT scan revealed a very bad appendix. Where it was and how it was folded kept everything in place.

I have a very high tolerance for pain and discomfort but such a thing can be detrimental. When I was having my heart attack I kept going in to work thinking it was just a bad chest cold. My coworkers thought I looked like death. Another day or two I would have collapsed, dead.
