Default Down for the count.. but I am back

Was getting ready to fly the US.. and I had a rough, rough night. A lot of belly cramps and side pain. Earlier this year we were in Bali and I spent 4 days in bed, didn't eat, couldn't move. Since then I has happened a 4 times, almost monthly.

well this time I couldn't take it.. the wife said let's go to the E-room. now pause for a minute and recall i am in China. The e-room can be a bad place over here.

we got to the Unitied Family clinic, Expat hospital, and after an exam with full CT and contrast fluid it was clear my appendix was "biggie sized".

since it was twice as big as it is suppose to be, I don't get the laproscopy procedure - just a big gut cut.

it had ruptured..and the doc said it has before a few times.. lots of scare tissue wrapped around it. So I just solved my mystery that a couple docs here couldn not.. I have had Chronic Appendiciitis for quite some time.

It is the second day now, and I have gotten up a couple time, haven't yet eaten but the promise of toast later today if I do good on fluids was made.

back to resting and seeing what else is going on here on the board. So keep the posts a little less humorous.. so I don't split a gut literally.

Your appendix? Huh, I was going to say, sounds like morning sickness.
