[RBW] Re: A different kind of S24O
Great news update! I've been steadily increasing what I can do and am amazed by how quickly things are returning. Did a photo hike where I usually run, but it is 5+ miles of steep trails and 3 miles of fairly steep biking (12%), so I'm already riding steeper than I'd dared hoped would be possible after a few weeks, let alone less than a week!. No bikes, but here are the photos from the sissy photo hike in case you have a hankering for Colorado aspen: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/sets/72157647572401887/ With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Be well my friend, and don't succumb to the temptation to do more than you should. You'll be hauling your gear, and traipsing barefoot through the woods in no time!

Deacon, so often your posts help us put everything in perspective, but this time you really have outdone yourself. You really shouldn't have! Can the docs give you any idea why this happened?

[RBW] Re: A different kind of S24O
Och! Michael. They have no idea what the appendix does, if anything, let alone what muckles it to the point of trying to kill us by exploding. Sardonic grin. In my case, I had an appendicolith, a wee calcified stone that blocks the appendix. They said the best knows cause is it just happens. My best guess is speculation and I have no way to prove it one way or the other, but the effect of grains and their anti-nutrients on the intestinal wall is highly abrasive -- so I can't help but wonder if that may have contributed to the original lodging on the irritant that eventually calcified. But that all gets into diet stuff that many here prefer to avoid, so that's all I'll wonder about that here. More good news, however, was that the surgeon did not get confused and remove my left appendix. They must not get much humor at the surgical ward (don't they know they're supposed to be like the surgeons in M*A*S*H*?), because that lame joke kept them laughing a while. Grin.

Patrick, Sorry to hear about your hospital stay .Wishing you a quick and successful recovery. Sometime life throws a wrench into our gears. I'm happy you got to go out and spend some time with your brother and see the fall colors at their peak before your surgery.

Ugh, sorry to hear. Just think, in 12 weeks, you'll already have 6 weeks of fun bike riding under your belt, and you'll have forgotten all about those *other* 6 weeks when you couldn't ride b/c of doctor's orders. It'll fly by. On Sunday, September 21, 2014 8:08:57 AM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: A hospital S24O.

I took my wife to ER Friday. They removed her appendix that evening. Fortunately, they were able to use the least invasive procedure (laparoscopic).She was release from the hospital on Saturday before noon with no restrictions except to use common sense. She took two dogs for a walk today. Matt On Sunday, September 21, 2014 8:08:57 AM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: A hospital S24O.
