Default Almost died this weekend

I was feeling really ill last Friday with a pain on my stomach and back pain. I was thinking it was another kidney stone . I decided to wait until Monday since I made an appt with my urologist. I actually felt fine except for a sharp pain when pressed on my lower right side of my abs. Turns out my apendix had burst and my body was fighing the infection,". This explains why the first day I felt bad and the rest I felt fine. My surgen and all the Drs said they had never seen someone so close to dying look so normal.

When it comes to deep pain in your stomach you should not take chances like me and self diagnose. The person who was admitting me to hosptal mom died of the very same thing I was there for. Her mom had warning signs but did not seek medical attention.

Damn dude, glad you're okay. My favorite uncle had that same thing happen to him several years ago.



So, if you do die... can I um... have your car?

Glad your ok man. When i was in 7th grade mine burst but i was already at the hospital. The weird thing about mine was that it was not in the spot it was suppose to be. It was up really high. i have this huge *** scar on my side it is about 6 to 7 inches long. mine bursted about 3 or 4 hours before surgery.

That's crazy man. It's amazing how such a small thing like the appendix can cause so much damage. YEah if you are feeling some crazy pain in your abdomen, get yourself to the hospital. You just never know for sure. Glad everything turned out ok.

That's not very nice, but it's ok. I just won't share at all.

Since when did you expect me to be nice? Everyone on here knows what a devilish bitch I am, haha! It is not sharing if you're a little kid and you're driving a Power Wheels and you never let the other kids drive it!

I'm just messing with you, Evan. What's fair is fair. If you called dibs, I can't complain. At least Venom's car will be well taken care of.

Damn man thats some scary **** right there. Hell I have amazing health insurace for a reason to use it. Now I will go to the hospital first sign of any trouble for example i went last weekend because i got food poisoning. The way I see it is a 100 copay for them to recharge my batteries is a lot better than pain of trying to man it out.

Hope your feeling a lot better.

Thanks guys. Yesterday was a rough day. If it was not for my kids and wife, dying would of been pretty good. I got a blood transfusion. Trying to stay active.

abdominal pains are quite common in alot of people. You can get a gas pain that feels like your gonna ******* die, but it passes and you just thank God the pain went away.

Did you have any fever at all? That should be anyones wake up call to get to the hospital. You should have noticed a big increase in your temp. Perotinitis is the result of ruptured appendix. Glad you made it through ok, but a blood tranfusion means the ole Grim Reaper was bout to knock on your door..

I don't know how I missed this thread, but I'm glad that all is well (in the sense of you still living and all). Prayers for a quick recovery headed your way! That's some crazy stuff.
