Woo-hoo. Back to the hospital. again.
My husband has massive, localized abdominal pain and an elevated white cell count. He has to go have a CAT scan, to determine if he has appendicitis. I said I'd go with, since his last "minor procedure" ended up a nightmare.

He has more weird random health issues than anyone else our age that I know.
I told him if he has a bunch of backed up poop or something, I'm totally going to laugh at him.

:crazy:

2. I'm sure it's no big deal.
I think they can even do appendectomies laparoscopically, now. He might not even need one- we'll see...

9. I told him that at least if they do have to remove his appendix,
it's one less thing that can go wrong, afterwards!

6. I told him that I know he's doing it because tomorrow's our anniversary,
and he doesn't want to put out.

At least he's already maxed out our out-of-pocket liability for the year.

13. It does sound like appendicitis
I hope so - then it can be dealt with. Best wishes to Mr. LaraMN and you!

15. Good vibes & best wishes on their way.
It's going to be NOTHING! Maybe a little appendicitis but that's it. Poor guy: he needs a break and so do you.

19. I can totally relate
Sending positive vibes for a positive outcome for your husband. :hug:

My husband has had so many operations in the past 5 years, that it is actually hard to keep track of them all.

Eight weeks ago he had his neck operated on. Last night he started in with Diverticulitis. If he's not better by Friday they will be popping him in the hospital. He's taking two heavy duty antibiotics, running a fever, and is in excruciating pain. Oh, yeah, and of course he can't go to the bathroom. Two years ago he had a 6" section of his intestines removed for this very thing. It turned into a 10 day hospital stay. He just started a new job -- the timing is not good. I'm weary.

Don't mind me, I'm a little discouraged right now.
