They do appendixes laporoscopically these days as well, sorry to hear about your mum though. They did have to stitch up my cat scratches, but those dissolve, and they taped the skin together. So really, I'm already recovered. I'm back to playing Dance Dance Revolution, and beating my husband. Now, for those in the colonies, what are nutters, wonks, toffs and boffins?

Hi Star
Glad to hear that your digestive system is more robust than my mum's.
But of course she might have avoided giving me the whole story.
Hope your recovery goes well.
Wow only 2 staples. When they took my appendix they opened me up
like a clam. Probably 15 or 20 staples.
Take it easy. We definately need your opinion to balance out the
other Nutters, Wonks, Toffs and Boffins. Present company excluded,
of course.
Regards, Paul V.

just no longer have the mechanism for indigestion, instead, I should
get diarrhea, but I haven't tested that theory yet. I love meat too
much to be a vegetarian, and save for two titanium staples where a
major vessel and my cystic duct used to be, I'm just the same as
ever. Man, I love laporoscopy!
