Here's what they say: "Oh, it's laparascopic surgery...small incision, no big deal." Yeah, right. This is my second day home and I feel like crap. I think I could've handled recovery much better if I were younger. Guess some of these jobs will just have to wait.
Get outta here! You had an appendectomy? You must've felt like crap beforehand, too! Yeah, I'd say it was time to take a few days off... they have to push things around to find what they're going to take out and then they have to stitch things back into place.
Put some new batteries in the remote and freshen your Netflix queue.
Feel better Friend ! - hope the stitching was as good as yours or did they just use hog rings ? Is this procedure covered under O'Bama Care or have you promised to barter your craft in trade ?

get better jojo it really is lousy getting old
Get well jojo.
Hang in there Jojo, miss your input already.
Doyle
Wow. Very uncommon for a middle aged person. It is typically gall bladders that
need to be yanked out. Feel better soon JoJo.
Getting old sucks. ( Just ask Dennis ).
You will be back to pouring piss from your boots in no time. :)
Chris
Thanks guys! Well geez, Mojo, now I feel stupid for complaining knowing what you've been through.
I'm feeling much better now. Yeah, the doctors were skeptical about appendicitis, and said it was probably gas. So I got my hopes up...until the tests came back. Oh well, one less thing to worry about now.
Back to work on Monday, meanwhile catching up on reading and tv. I honestly don't know how some people voluntarily sit on the couch all day.
Oh now that sucks, big time. Rest up - the sewing will wait.
And what's all this getting "old" crap from you guys eh? Sheesh :o
June
Don't feel stupid. We all have our battles to fight. I hate to see someone sick or in pain.
Just glad everything came out OK for you. :)
Chris
Any old excuse eh. :D
Get well soon.
Suzi
I used to be the young guy june all of a sudden now kids 30 call me sir:(
You know you have problems when the kids working at Mc'Donalds give you a senior discount without asking. :)
Chris
When I was a kid, young women called me "Darlin", "Sweetie", or "Honey". :-*
Then for the next 30 years, it was "Hey, watch it jerk!". Or "Move outta the way Buttface!" >:(
Now, I've reached the age where they're calling me "Darlin" again. :-*
Senility does have it's priviliges. ;D
BTW Get well Jojo. Those seams ain't gonna sew their self, ya know.
they know your harmless again sofa :)og ya getting AARP info in the mail, that suxs too
Ok, sounds like I'm not quite as old as all of you old curmudgeons. I'm 48. But it seems like just this year was when I started to feel like I was slowing down a little.
You're right on schedule, Jojo. :) That was the age I began thinking that my days of working on mega Coverlite covers and repairing pool covers were coming to an end.
I hope you're as comfy as the kitty on your picture is. Tell me about that kitty...
When you're not nearby (or can't hear them :-) they call you "That old fart down on St. John's Street."
One of my moving & storage customers this morning said he was trying to get transferred to Pittsburgh to open a branch there. He said his brother lived there, was a banker, and had a lot of contacts with older rich people, like in their 40s. <sigh> Young twerp.

Ain't it the truth ;D I refuse to join just because that would be an admission that I'm not 35 anymore.
June
That's our kitty Elly. They say we spoil her. Maybe so. But I don't think I'll ever be quite that comfy. She's a pro.
So normally at this time of year, business is really slow. But as luck would have it, since the day I went to the hospital, I've had lots of calls every day. And not looky loos either...they all need it done now. They have all agreed to wait until next week, though, so I feel lucky. Getting better everyday. Still feel old though. As soon as I get better, I'm getting on a physical fitness regime. I don't want to go to the hospital again if it can be avoided (although there's nothing that could've prevented appendicitis). It just got me thinking...what if the next time it's a stroke? Or heart problems? Gotta start drinking from that fountain of youth!
If i were as old as I feel I'd be 35. To bad the young ladies don't see it that way. :D
Hang in there Jojo. You'll be back on your feet in no time.

Must be one of 'those' ages jojo. I am 48 as well. I have a bit of a back problem that tends to poke it's head up when the weather cools off, so this year I have decided to learn some yoga. I only done a couple of sessions so far but can feel the muscles loosening off already. I am also determined to get more fruit & veg in my diet ATM I eat almost no fruit so it has got to be a good thing. Thought I would try smoothies & juices ( home made) as it's quick & easy, plus you can sneak things in that you would not normally eat. Spinach for one.
