Last wednesday was off work with really really bad stomach aches, thought it was due to monster energy drinks as i had the exact same pain 2 months ago after a heavy sesh with energy drinks
Thursday, managed to drag myself to work and managed half a shift, went to see manager and explained about my pain and he told me to go home. It took me 25mins to walk to my car which was 5mins away, i was in so much pain.
Managed to drive less than a mile from work and had to pull over as this pain like i have never ever experienced was too much, ive felt pain before ( tooth ache, tattoo's, nipple peircing ) but this was something else, it shout from my stomach right down into my manhood and it felt like it was being cut off with a blunt knife.
I called my wife from the side of the road and she come and took me home, from there she called an ambulance and off to hospital I went.
Thursday morning 8am was taken to theatre and given the knockout drug ( which i was totally scared to death of due to watching the film AWAKE 2 weeks ago ) but was reassured by many doctors and surgeons that it wil work and i will not wake up during op.
Satrurday I managed to get home, on the prevision i would take my meds and took it super easy and take a couple of weeks off work, which is what im going to do, its going to be dangerous tho as ive already bought a SSD and some wireless headphones.
I was thinking how bad it must have been the the days gone by with no anesthetics and no probibal cause of pain, it must have been insaine.
anyway thats my appendix gone, and good riddance to them.
Feeling much better now, just feel like ive done a gazillion situps and I walk abit funny.
 
Get well soon mate, I know the pain you've been in, and worse!

Being ill like that is scary as hell
 
When I had my apendix out, my mate bought me a jar of pickled gherkins and a copy of viz. The gherkins looked just like I imagine my appendix must have done, the viz I could not read as laughing hurt like billy-o.

Glad you are OK now - just don't sneeze or laugh !
 
Ouch, painful :(

I have a grumbling appendix and will be going for an operation for it in a month. Funnily enough I'm scared of the thought aswell because of that Awake film!

A friend of mine died on Xmas day laying in her Mums arms on the sofa due to a ruptured appendix. :(

Glad you got through yours. :cool:
 
That was the single most painful experience I've ever endured, having appendicitis. I know the pain, it's a good feeling when it's gone!
 
I had appendicitis a few years ago and it was an awful experience but I am so glad I had the useless thing out. That pain is quite something, but at least the Morphine was great :D Oh and by the way, my surgeon said the pain is like child-birth, labour pains etc.

Same here. Luckily I caught it before it burst, it was only inflamed. They got it out in good fashion and I was out of the hospital next day.

I have noticed that since then, however (October 2008), I don't have the same girth of my bladder anymore and have to urinate more frequently. I don't know if it is related or not. Maybe I'm just drinking more. :D

Glad to hear everything came out ok, OP.
 
Must be an epidemic,:D
my wife had hers removed at midnight on Tuesday, just in time before it burst, swollen abdomen slowly going down & scar healing nicely but it does leave you feeling rather tired unless she's making the most of me cooking & cleaning & doing the washing etc :p
 
I must watch this film awake sometime it sounds good. :D

Been a similar boat but mine was bit of a non event, it did grumble and hurt a bit but that was it, had to be kicked out of work when i started turning white for no apparent reason. :D

Anyway i was lucky not to have ruptured apparently, i know someone who has only to end buggered right up from poisoning, got a nice healthy scar running from top to bottom of his stomach as his flesh apparently became necrotic so he had to lose quite a bit of it.

Don't sit up too fast won't you. :p

All your plumbing working right i take it, didn't put you in back to front did they? ;)
