Well, after 86 years my appendix decided he wasn't going to spend his last days with me. I spent all day and half the night thinking it . was something I ate. I now have three holes in my gut. No driving for a week since one of the drugs they used will show up as being a drunk driver. That's what the Doc said!! Yes I know they were in my stomach. Ouch!!!!
 

Do what the Doc. tells ya, Don't be pushin' yer luck!!!

Get your kids over there to sing pretty songs for ya!!!

Hope all mending goes good for you!!!!!!!

Great outcome! I spent half the night back in Jan. thinking it was something I ate, and when the Medics arrived they hooked me up to a monitor that shocked me every second to get my heart going again. Then it quit altogether so they did CPR on me for a half hour. I left the hospital a few days later with a pacemaker and am in excellent order now.
 
My older sister had hers rupture and removed in her prior teen years. I spent a good part of my life thinking that any day now mine would fail too. At 78, it's still intact. Funny yours went out at 86.....is that an omen for me? Who knows. Apparently they used current techniques, not the old style of rip your gut open to see what they can find. Get well!!
 
Wishing you a nice speedy recovery! Remember that there are a lot out here still in need of your knowledge & experience.
 
Wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery, Wayne. We well need your experience, herein.

FWIW: My Father had his appendix removed in his mid 80s, after lying on the sofa for a day or so after it had ruptured. Like me, he DID NOT like to go to the doctor.

Fortunately, my Mother was a WWII Army Nurse and, when the symptom became obvious, she insisted that he go to the hospital.

Eventually, he recovered completely.

Mine came out when I was 19 I went to the ER they ask when was the last time you pooped I said I dunno so they gave me a shot and sent me home. When I woke up the pain was worst I went back to the ER the doc sent me straight to the operating room. It was ready to explode they cut me up good that's the only time I have had surgery...

Tale care old man : ) BTW its official I got my old man card last mouth....
