Sitting at the computer desk, I suddenly don't feel so good. Try to bend or stand in other than the normal position and I get pain. Pain in the "how do I unlapse my Catholicism" category. Call the health plan's night nurse only to get a recording "we are away from the phones due to an unexpected emergency". I guess they just handle the expected ones. Demon dial for an hour and finally get through. They say go in to the ER. That's like 3am in the morning and I don't feel like doing the drive at night, so I hang out and nap for 4 hours and go in to the ER. Wait 3 hours. Luckily I can find a position there that doesn't involve pain. Undress, get into bed, 2 minute exam. MRI tech comes by with a barium milkshake (banana "flavor") at 1pm. Around 2pm I don't feel so good and ask for the nearest restroom that I can tow the IV stand me with my fat butt hanging out the dressing gown. The "milkshake" was working. MRI is fun if you like coffins. Doc comes in. "Good news and bad news." The good news is your appendix is fine. The bad news is what you've got I've never seen before, there is no indicated treatment, and it usually goes away in 7 to 10 days on its own. Here's some Vicadin and anti-nausea meds to mitigate the Vicadin. I got better in 9 days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiploic_appendagitis Hmm, I had a fairly similar incident in February.

Hopefully it's nothing. You'll probably need to find somebody to get the kids? And you, too, maybe. Oh my goodness! Hopefully it’s nothing. You’ll probably need to find somebody to get the kids?
