Some lower abdominal discomfort turned into an event-filled Thursday night when my doctor called and told me to get to the emergency room.
It turns out the pain was from a badly distended appendix and there was a very real danger of rupture. Normally it's a pretty routine procedure that takes around 45 minutes via laparoscopy (a super-thin tool with fiber-optic cameras).*The surgeon got in there and ended up having to do a full open surgery due to the size and shape of the offending organ, which had swollen to 2.5x its normal size.
We got home yesterday afternoon and I'm looking forward to some downtime to get healed up. Renee is doing such an amazing job of looking after me. I'm feeling pretty spoiled. Hopefully back on my feet soon!
Obviously, this will affect my ability to address orders. My apologies to everyone with an order outstanding with me. I should be back on my feet soon, and with Logan's help, we should be able to get caught up by the end of the week.*
