In case anyone noticed I was gone - I know I am often gone from here, but this week was different.


I'm really glad you are OK.

Thank you, Odeon.

Feeling much better, today. Cutting my Vicodin intake from twenty four per day to twelve seems to be working.

I'm glad that twelve Vicodin a day are working for your pain now. 

I won't revive Spokane Girl's shit digging thread, but over the counter Miralax works if the Vicodin makes you too constipated.

That must have been really scary DirtDawg :viking:

Hope you feel better real soon :2thumbsup:

(I know someone else who recently had appendices removed and they asked for them back
and are now on display in his front room.  he said he thinks of them as 'trophy's' due to
surviving that much pain )

Mine went to the pathologist to analyze, so I couldn't have had it back if I had wanted it.

Taking 24 Vicodin a day is  :viking: though.

As far as I can remember, I have only been constipated once in my entire life.

Honestly, constipation is not even something I think about.  I am spared from this difficulty.

Great idea. Maybe I should begin a ceiling-hanging "Mobile"  upon which to balance all my dodgy parts as they are removed one by one.

I should name them all with cute "cartoon names,"  maybe.

Hey look at this one, his name is Curly. And check this one out. As you can she is a girl, so I named her  Bitchy.

Nah, that is a piece o' cake, Tig.

Now getting my dosage down to only two per day in less than a week after major surgery, like I have done, is a true reflection of bravery and personal resolve.

Mine did, too, actually.  My surgeon told me it was the largest, most inflamed appendix he had ever seen and it was like a miracle that it had not already ruptured catastrophically, even further endangering my life.


I was only barely able to walk with a crutch on Wednesday morning, due to extreme pain.

When I had my appendix out, I had a total of six days off work. And I don't remember getting any pain medication to take home. I think I got ripped off!

 Maybe your appendix wasn't as inflamed as DirtDawg's was.  I still have my appendix, and my tonsils, hope they never need to come out!   :orly:

I am quite a bit better, now Parts.

I just wonder how long it was leaking into my system and causing me problems. 

I can remember last Tuesday, before I got really sick. I was at work and using wrong words most of the day. I was mixing up words when I was talking.
