High Noon: Appendicitis

I was eating dinner last night when I learned that my brother, Frito Ray, was in the hospital undergoing an emergency appendectomy. So Mrs. O & I wolfed down the rest of our meal and headed to the waiting room on the 2nd floor to wait for the surgery and recovering to end — the same waiting room that I cooled my heals 8 years ago or so when my wife had an emergency appendectory. Her appendix has burst, thanks to a clueless urgent care doctor who misdiagnosed her condition and sent her home the day before. Frito Ray’s was fairly straight forward. His tummy hurt and he went to see the doc early Friday afternoon. He has probably been released from KMC while I write this. Meanwhile, I still have my appendix. And I wonder when it’s going to cause problems.

Question: Do you still have your appendix?
