Out, Out, Dang Appendix

So Amy Dearest calls at the end of the noon hour to say that she’s en route to a hospital in Portland to have her appendix out today. She awoke with bad stomach pain — and the rest is herstory. As a result, I’ve been distracted this afternoon. My wife had a rough time with appendix surgery some years back b/c a doc-in-the-box misdiagnosis her stomach problem, resulting in another 24 hours of pain. I still have my appendix. I’ve wondered at times, at my age, if that’s good or bad. Meanwhile, I’m comforted that the docs in Portland caught her problem early — and appear to be on top of things. Son-in-law Okie Doke is with her — and keeping us up to speed re: what’s going on. How about you?

Question: Do you still have your appendix?
