Sort of a distracting sensation...

I'm thinking this story should cheer you up a bit:

My appendix ruptured when I was 10. Unfortunately it was located about an inch to the right of my navel so the doctor didn't consider appendicitis to be the cause of my illness.

After two weeks he decided to admit me to the hospital for testing. As there were no imaging machines other than xray at the time they decided to do exploratory sugery and found the burst appendix just below where they made the incision.

Somehow all the gangrenous tissue stayed confined where the appendix was. I got to spend a total of 8 weeks in the hospital (the first 2 with a tube draining liquid death from my abdomen) then another month before I was allowed to return to school.

There - feel better now?

I'm discovering that I can be a real sometimes.
