Just for our menās health thread:
Friday night while watching the Black caps play I had been feeling green all day then got extreme stomach pains, to the point I got an ambulance and yesterday ended up having emergency surgery to have my appendix removed.
Going home today as relatively young, fit and healthy. Groggy yesterday but feeling 95% today.
Yesterday 4 other people had their appendix out in Tauranga hospital alone - itās really common. Nurse said the generation before us had them removed as kids but they stopped doing it and now our generation are ticking time bombs - just a heads up - itās really common but minor surgery.
Mine was classic symptoms - pain was gastronomic above belly button then moved down and focused on the lower right (beside bladder). No rhythm or reason why you get itā¦ an obsolete body part that goes crap on ya!
