Ask a guy who just had his appendix removed!

[popeyespappy]

The surgery was performed with a robot, which is cool, because I only have three small cuts on my abdomen, no external stitches (they glued me back together), and I was able to leave the hospital 4 hours after my surgery ended.

Ask me stuff!

No questions, but a comment on the miracles of modern medicine. Dad, a retired Marine, had his appendix removed on a hospital ship off the coast of Korea in the spring of 1951. Nearly 70 years later the scar from the operation is still a huge Frankenstein looking abomination that looks like a navy corpsman removed dad's appendix with an entrenching tool.

We've come a long long way.

Edited to add Korean War era appendix removal surgical device...
