It sure is good to be back!i've been away from the boards for about a month.
On Sept. 29, I thought I was experiencing a bout of food poisoning.I went to a local walk-inclinic, and wasdiagnosed with an"intestinal infection".I was sent home w/antibiotics,and nausea pills. After 2 more trips to my physician and a CT scan 10 days later, The ER physician diagnosed me with a ruptured appendix that had been ruptured for 7-10 DAYS!!!
I got to take a flying trip by ambulance to Fort Smith Arkansas to Sparks Regional Medical Center.The next day I had surgery( with a nice long 7" incision) to remove what was left of the appendix and to clean out the infection.
After 8 days in the hospital, and a week and a half of recovery at dear ol' Mom's house, I'm thankful to still be here!!
I've been having withdrawals from not getting to visit this forum!!!
I guess there's just no place like home!
