Just got home from the hospital!

[Chad Hughes]

Woke up this morning with an incredible abdominal pain. No, it wasn't gas.

7 hours later I am home without my apendix. I'll be laid up for a week, so I'll be chit chatting quite a bit on here. Looking forward to the break! I feel much better though.

Have a great weekend all!

[moik]

I know that feeling all to well... Try not to laugh or cough, boy it hurts.. Take it easy and get well

[RockRiverfish]

Hope you make a speedy recovery.

Wow - 7 hours in and out! I had my appendix removed almost 20 years ago, and it was a 5 day hospital stay. It's amazing how technology has progressed, although I'm sure alot of that has to do with insurance companies wanting to keep their own costs down.

[Trevor W]

yeah that sucks but hey atleast they caught it in time,...i know how you feel with being laid up at home...i just recently broke my humerus (shoulder to elbow) in 2 places so i basically live on simply lol....it keeps me sane. anyways take care and enjoy your time off.

Wow, Chad, that had to suck. Glad to hear you are doing better. I too hope you have a quick recovery.

Take care

Yikes. Wishing you a speedy recovery

That is pretty fast, being home the same day as surgery. I was in hospital several days after mine were whipped out.

Anytime Chad and the summers here in Okinawa are BRILLIANT!! I'll make you a batch when you come.

Take care,

Eddie

[Chad Hughes]

Excellent my friend! Sounds great! Thanks for the offer. I lived in Yokosuka (mainland) for a few years. Had a great time and summers were awesome.

Well, modern medicine...Lucky you;), mine looks like I'm a shark attack victim:D

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! I look like a BB gun attack victim. 4 BB size holes on the left side of my belly. They go in from the opposite side with their tools. I have one hole in my belly button. That one hurts the worst! I'll be back to my modeling career in no time. LOL! :p

[Roxanne]

I have one hole in my belly button. That one hurts the worst! I'll be back to my modeling career in no time. LOL! :p

that sounds very 'zoolander'...I was exagerating(as usual), mine isn't that bad....:D

Speedy recovery to you Chad

Rox

[FLGirl1977]

You should see the surgery as it's being done... very cool. I've only seen gallbladders removed though... after they finish up your gallbladder actually gets pulled out through your 'belly-button'.. lol... :o

Guess that's why I like the med field... all of that gore is interesting to me! ;)

[Chad Hughes]

I think they pulled out my appendix through my belly button. That is the bigges hole and they tried to hide the scar.... like I sad, I'll be back to modeling in no time! LOL!
