Hey all,

I was out of commission for a while. Apparently, we are born with several organs that are not really needed for life but, that will suddenly get infected and kill us if they aren't surgically removed.

Who the hell thought this idea up? Really! My appendix almost killed me when I was ten. Then, my thyroid almost killed me 7 years ago.

This time it was my gallbladder and I think that took a great deal of gall for it to muster up the courage to get that bad.

Long story short, one and a half weeks of being sick out of the hospital, in the hospital, and then surgery. All of which was followed by 3 days in the hospital and now at home IV infusions of antibiotics.

So, that's what I've been doing for fun. What about all the rest of y'all?

TMFL (Now Improved Further with No Gallbladder - Difficult to see how I can now get any better)

Glad you are back. Next on the not needed to live list is the brain judging from some of the people around me.

Great to hear your back on board.

All the best.

Appendix, Gall Bladder, Thyroid, Wisdom Teeth, ..... Balls?

I Hope its all sorted now and you are back to normal now,

I have been away from here a bit also, Too many other distractions at the moment.

Very much missed your contributions, do make a speedy recovery. Regards Steve
