Recovery

For some reason, I didn't feel up to doing much today.

Seriously, the recovery is going well. Hopefully, I'll be back up to full speed tomorrow.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers

Glad you're still with us. Funny thing that appendix. For centuries, no one could figure out what is was for, so they figured it was merely a vestigial organ. Then a few years ago, they discovered that it was a depository for all the bacteria that lives in your intestines, that help with digestion. In the event that the bacteria already in the intestines were killed off via antibiotics taken for something else, the appendix was able to repopulate your intestines with bacteria.

The bad news is that you no longer have an appendix that will serve that function.

The good news is, you can eat foods (yogurt, acidophilus supplements, etc.) that will help restore the bacteria, in the event that you need to take antibiotics somewhere along the way.

Hope you feel better, been there, done that, got t-shirt. They intially thought it was a stomach flu and not appendicitis and almost killed me many a year ago in San Antonio.

You won't miss it after a few weeks. Since then I had my colon removed for different reasons. You would miss that. I advise not having your colon removed unless avoidance is under penalty of death as you will miss it.

Anyway, keep your chin up and you'll be fine in 10-20 days. Won't even think about it except the scar.

Regards,
Tom
