Appendicitis....sounds like he is doing well, but anyone that has gone through it can tell you it isn't the most fun thing in the world.

Going under is always at least a little concerning.. glad to hear he's doing well. God bless and get well soon.

Spoke to him earlier. After performing the apendectomy on himself with only his two hands and a steak knife, he then turned down the advances of two nurses, saved a kitten from a tree outside the ER, and went for an 8K run with Chuck Norris and Trevor Mbawke.

Badass.

He's home now and recovering.

Hopefully he had it done laparoscopy (sp?).

I heard he stopped for a bowl...and a half, of Real Chili on the way home. With extra onions.

Rest up, Hilltop! It's good to hear you're recovering well.

Here's an idea of what you can do while in bed:

Thanks for the thoughts, boys. I thought it was something I ate, but after a sleepless night, went in for a check. Some delicious barium drinks later, they wheeled me into the ER on Saturday .. home <24 hours later minus an appendix. Modern technology.

I think I'll take tomorrow off, though.

Surreal experience.

Now get your gall bladder out and we can compare notes being two organs down....right now I have you 2 to 1.

Those Barium drinks really get you on the way down.

I feel for you hilltopper. I got to experience the joys of appendicitis....on my 21st birthday. Thought it was the alcohol. Went in to get my stomach pumped, but they luckily checked to make sure it wasn't appendicitis first.

Glad to hear you are doing alright

My fiancee got her gallbladder out.

Its really strange, certain foods she can just no longer eat. And its not necessarily the ones you'd expect like greasy or fatty foods. Avocados, for example, just do not sit well with her.

I've heard losing your gallbladder affects everyone a little differently, but you generally have to refrain from more foods that you previously could eat, or face stomach pain, indigestion, or worse...

I have no experience with an appendix problem. Now if you have questions about kidney stones, that I unfortunately have a great deal of experience with, but let's not digress from this thread about you!

Hate Barium. Had a colonoscopy for Chrones Disease 2 years ago. Not looking forward to my second one next summer.

Is it possible that Topper's digestive tract issue was brought on by having to digest the coaching of Buzz Williams last year and the play of Derrick Wilson as the leading minute getter on the team. How's that for an effort?

Kidding aside, glad to know Hilltopper came through it well.

Not familiar. If it's anything like Crohn's, best of luck. Sounds awful.

ZFB is getting excited because he's almost to the age where it appears normal to request a colonoscopy.

Sorry Topper, it WAS about you until Chico made it about him. What new? Glad you're feeling better and that appendicitis hasn't affected your sense of humor. Keep getting better.

rocky_warrior · « **Reply #29 on:** July 21, 2014, 10:10:51 PM »

Whoa whoa whoa. Topper took time off without approval? This is going in your permanent MUScoop record.

Glad you came out OK, because I don't know if you've fully prepped Topper Jr. for the moderation responsibilities that you've left him in your will. (Does he even know where the "ban" button is yet???)

Not really, though certain foods definitely attack the system more than others. I had a gall bladder attack on a business trip about 13 years ago and I was young, in shape (low body fat, etc), barely in my 30's...rushed to a hospital in Denver and they yanked it out. Pretty rare.

Certain foods definitely impact me more than others, especially spicy or fried foods, so I don't eat a ton of that, but I haven't given up anything if that's what you are asking. More moderation than anything else.

Firstly, the hospital did have decent wi-fi, and I walked in with my phone at 100%.

But yes, indeed, power did transfer briefly under the 25th amendment to my designee (Ziggy) while I was under anesthetic.

Speaking of that, holy crap. They told me all about how I'd hop from one table to another, and count backwards from 100, but I don't even recall being moved into the op room. Quite a memory gap.
