Well life is full of surprises.Just over a week ago on tuesday morning I was sitting comfortably in front of my pc having my morning coffee and working on a chop when I started feeling a strong pain in my abdomen.At first I thought it was indigestion or gases but the excruciating pain intensified to the nth degree and that night my fever reached 39.2 º C. Although I was bed ridden by then,very weak and could barely walk,my wife convinced me that time was of the essence and we should see a doctor.She drove me to the emergency ward at our local hospital and after some blood tests and an ecography the doctor's diagnosed an extreme case of acute appendicitis.He said that appendicitis,especially acute gangrenous appendicitis,which after the operation was proven to be what I had,should not be taken lightly.He stressed that in some cases if left unattended it has led to septic shock and DEATH.Well on that note and the fact that I was willing to do anything to get rid of that horrible pain,it was off to surgery and lights out.I was operated on at 1:00 a.m. that same night.Fortunately the operation was a success and after 5 days of observation at the hospital and overdosed on antibiotics I was allowed to come back home.Experiences like this really make one aware of how ephemeral and transitional life is.One minute you are peacefully enjoying the simple joys of life and the next you are at the mercy of a critical life threatening situation and in the trust of a total stranger with a scalpel in his hand.As well it helps to put life in it's proper perspective.To be able to discern between the many insignificant events that we daily unwittingly magnify and transform into absurd melodramatic soap operas of erroneous magnitude and what is really important in life and which we totally take for granted until our life is in danger.I am very grateful and happy to be back home and healthy again.I love life ! ... And thank-you all my PSC friends for being part of this wonderful life Very Happy

So:
1.excessive chopping combined with coffee may cause serious illness
2.marriage is not necessarily a bad thing Cool
I like when someone stands that human organism is perfect thing. We are not capable to draw a straight line or circle and so accessible to zillion diseases that it's real mystery how we survived so long as species DeadBanana
Joke aside I am glad you are alive and well and wish you fast recovery!

Holy shit! Glad to hear your back to good health. I thought you may be on vacation in a nice Spanish beach chill-laxin' Smile Welcome back. Maybe this experience will inspire you to write a poem about it...here's mine:

Luxwiz choppin nonstoppin' guitar player extraordinaire.
He had a pain in his side and let it slide.
We wish him the best and is back new.
Cause choppin aint choppin without you.
Welcome back sir… here is arty chop.
Lots of birds, blurs and what-not.
Hope you post soon alright-is.
Because we don’t want no more appendicitis!

Know where your coming from Lux!! I had the same situation when I was 18 years old (a long fucking time ago) but I still remember the event well! I was at work when it hit me in the middle of the heat of the summer time and I WALKED to my girlfriends house about 3 miles away (now my wife) and she called my home to get me some help. My appendix almost ruptured and the Dr said if it had it could have been the end of me. Anyway congrats on the successful operation and recovery. Good luck and good health to you and yours.
