Lessons learned, and lessons remembered, during a medical emergency last week...

Glad you are on the mend... Appendix bursting is a scary thing. Thanks for the word of warning too.... When I was heavy the Docs always thought everything was obesity related... now we can get into the wrong mindset of everything being surgery related....

You had a close call - good that you went to the ER when you did.  Welcome back to the land of the living and losing!!!!

(Glad you have a mature attitude toward to water-weight gain.  I had so much fluid pumped into me that I had a clear 8 inch long swelling where the IV went in.)

Having fun reading all your responses, thanks everyone for the good wishes!

And yes, as of today I am already six pounds down from Sunday.  I call it the forcing fluids, Norco and napping diet :)
