I won't get too specific because I lack the energy to do so. I'm back from the hospital, it ended up being acute apendicitus (although I find nothing cute about it.) Dr. Anderson (yes, I kept calling him Mr. Anderson) gave me an open apendectimy, so i've got a nice scar about 3 inches long across my right side. I spend Monday night in the hospital and expected to leave Tuesday morning, but had a few hurdles (such as getting out of bed) that I had to overcome which kept me there till about 8:00 Tuesday night.
The recovery is supposed to take about a week, most of which I will spend playing Halo 2.
I do have a good Pre-op and Post-op picture. The pre-op picture I remember
The post-op, I have no memory of. Apparently i kept asking the same questions on a repeat of about 45 seconds.
Ohh.. and the REAL kicker... thos bastards shaved my stomach!... My perfectly offcenter happy trail is now no more...
Feel free to call my Cell and wish me well.. I am mostly just walking around my house and sleeping.

That's what you get when you vote for Bush! LOL, j/k. Now your cornering speed will increase due to weight savings brought upon your lucky ass by removal of unnecessary organs.

Forget the scar, we want to see the appendix.

Poor Ben. I hope you're feeling better and making a fast recovery.
BTW, I heard Brina was a bit of a lifesaver for you. Maybe she should have gone into medicine. ;)

What are you talking about... she said, you should go see a doctor, which was my intention anyway.
I'm the VICTEM here!

I love how things get spun, and then spun some more.
you came up in a few conversations this past weekend, at Lehigh. Mainly dealing with lack of Ben at Lehigh and lack of Ben's appendix inside Ben. The version I heard was that you thought you were just sick and not planning on going to the doctor, but she scared you into going.
Regardless, I'm glad you're feeling better. We all missed you this past weekend, but Sandy Anderson was not happy at seeing the picture of your scar.
