Got my appendix removed...

...And now I'm rather confused.

You see, at first glance, the appendix is a clear sign of evolution; part of our physiology that has become obsolete and useless, but would have been of use to our ancestors.

But then, maybe god gave me an organ that I don't need, just so it could get infected, nearly blow up then have to be removed just so I can get a month off work with pay

Sweet.

So, what you're saying is it still has a purpose?

Cymro · 11-12-2006, 10:15 PM

Not in the usual biological sense. I mean, if we went back to prehistoric times, I'd probably have just died.

I'm just gutted that the doctors wouldn't let me keep it in a jar.

You see the irony in that statement right?

This is why I shouldn't talk to Americans.

Dude... mine ruptured, and they didn't discover it until about 12 hours later. I was hospitalized for over a week, and then I had a drain tube sticking outta my gut for nearly two weeks.

The worst part? It happened a week before my high school final exams, and my commie school emptied out my locker (with 90% of my books and notes). They forced me to take my finals a week after I got home, but with no real way to study, I failed half of them, forcing me to take summer school to get my grades back up. Commie buttfuckers.

That's shitty. I was really lucky cause mine was actually close to rupturing which is why they had to perform the open surgery as opposed to the laparascopic they planned.

I had a "grumble" a couple of months ago, which woke me up at 4 in the morning left me in pretty severe pain for eight hours but eventually subsided, and I've been suffering minor pains since which I just figured it was all trapped wind or too much beer, because my diet has changed a lot over the last few months (lost 40lbs). This time I woke up at 230am on Friday with worse pain than ever before, took some pain killers, which didn't do shit all, so I braved it for 3 hours and waited for it to subside, but it didn't so I drove myself to hospital, and got diagnosed and sheduled for surgery by lunchtime. The morphine was sweet though.

Yeah, they didn't tell me what it was, but based on people's descriptions, it was morphine they gave me too. I kept on saying 'Hi!' to the orderly pushing my dolly to the OR... had to be at least 15 times to the same guy, but I had no clue, and didn't give a rat's ass that I had no clue either... I had no cares in the world.

Well the big "MORPHINE" label on the needle was a subtle hint.

NX-47 · 11-13-2006, 02:27 PM

Heh... mine said "ENIHPROM".
