Surgery!
« on: August 04, 2007, 04:49:11 AM »
So many of you have known that I've been very sick for about a month. The cause was recently identified as a gall bladder problem, possibly complicated by appendicitis. I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday the 7th.

Open bidding on who gets to keep my vestigial organs begins now.

I'm just glad you got a sooner date for the surgery.

What are they doping you with? If it's the good stuff that keeps you conscious, but you don't remember anything, I want Dawn in there to write down everything you say....Mwahhahahhaaha. That would be great blackmail material.

Wow! That sucks. Glad to hear they figured out what it is, though. Keep us updated on how you're doing.

Good luck in surgery.

Whoa. That's scary. Why did it take them so long to diagnose it? At least you'll be free of the problem soon. So, good luck, Fell!

I think I'll pass on the bidding, though. I order all my vestigal organs thru eBay.

Good luck with this.  I've had one sister get out her gallbladder and another get out her appendix and both were much happier after they were out.

Good luck, Fell. I hope they don't find any extra parts after they sew you back up.

Did you ask for a cybernetic gall bladder?

It would be cool if it could function both as a gall bladder and launch itself as a anti-aircraft missile.

I personally have a vestigal organ farm. The only problem is that every once in a while it gains sentience and tries to take over the galaxy, so I have to torch it and start from scratch.

All went well, and I am back. I have five one-inch stab wounds scattered around my abdomen, and it hurts to do pretty much anything, but I already feel "healthier" than I did before. Yay surgery! Sadly, they wouldn't let me keep the organs or a video of the laproscopy; she was going to take stills but forgot. Oh well--I can always get some organs from you guys.
