Appendix decided to put a kibosh on my hunting and fishing

[JayKay]

Okay, testicular torsion? What the heck is that? I'm scared to look it up, and I darn sure don't want to see any images of it. Sounds like something you'd need channel-locks and salve to fix.

Uff..

Don't look up ruptured hydro seal, that's what the doctor called it, and its no fun I know.

Testicular torsion is just as it sounds. Your nut spins around in the beanbag and basically hangs itself. Almost always resulting in the loss of the affected bean.

Don't worry though, you can get a prosthetic one. I'm sure she'll never know the difference. :;:smokin

Only reason I ever heard about it is because my ex knew a couple guys it happened to. Glad to have escaped with both in place!

No thanks to kidney stones or testicular torsion... you guys can keep those... the hole in my left side is enough for me and I'm glad I decided not to wait any longer... the vomiting every 30 min was enough to tell me I should go... crazy th ing is I really didn't have any real pain until about midnight f riday night and by 5am I was nearly unable to walk

I think I remember this happening to a student coach in high school basketball. Was a long time ago. I just recall him begging someone to kill him.

6 yrs ago I woke up with severe pain in side. Threw up, had fever etc. Went to ER. Told me I had the flu. So for the next 2-3 wks I had a low grade fever, pain and general feeling like sh!t. I finally went back to dr. Was a woman. She pushed around on stomach and didn't bother me so she wanted to send me home. I told her to refer me to a different dr in a close by larger town. (watertown) I went straight there. He (man this time) pushed real hard and deep into side and I about flew off the table. Took me straight to operating table. When I awoke, found out my appendix had burst wks ago and curled up behind intestine and was leaking poison. Had to have a drain tube hang out of belly button for a week. Took me about a month to fully recover. Really lucky to have lived through that. On the bright side my gall bladder has been removed as well so...my digestion is not good at all. I can sh!t through a tennis racket on cue!

Trying to think of a reason a guy would need to shit through a tennis racket.

that sucks!

Also - don't show anyone your stitches at O'Kelly's. They'll ask you to leave cuz of the sexiness involved.

And after you've been thoroughly admonished for being an exhibitionist you can ask for a Stella. The surly gum-chewing lass will roll her eyes and regurgitate the yummy beer list for you... "Not sure what Stella is?... We only have crap lite, buckpiss light, blabbity lyte, skunk piss regular, crapola regular, Mickisadork dark in the bottle, Sam Adams and wine coolers. And super sucky well drinks are on special too. What do you want sir? We're awful busy."

Thank goodness there's usually Sams to rescue me at high end bars.

Rusty--- Sorry to hear about this, and here's to a speedy recovery! My appendix story should give you a glimmer of hope!

I had mine out the weekend before deer opener in 2003. (I was in high school still (with no kids), and in much better shape than I am now). I still went rifle hunting 10 days after surgery and got a nice basket buck down in 3F2 with the help from my uncle... even was feeling well enough to do a bit of belly crawling to put a stalk on the deer I got that year. So here's to hoping that this is just a minor setback in your fall adventures!

 

[H82bogey]

Glad you are doing well! I had my back surgery 3 years ago on Nov 14th. So much for the rut that year.

LOL...in case someone wanted their cupcakes buttered I guess!

 

[Allen]

On the plus side, Rusty should be good to go for pheasant and deer gun season and I hope you're back to form long before either!

Sorry for the earlier hijack. It's just what we do around here.

 

[Ericb]

Glad you made it to the DR. When you did. Ruptures and infections are no joke. Get rest and you should be up and going in no time!

What.. you've never swallowed a penny to see it come out?
