after a fun day watching the bulldogs beat UK, i had some stomach pain in the evening that wouldn't go away. by 9 o'clock, i was in severe pain and did know what to do. katie and i decided to go to the emergency room.when we got there, i wasn't a priority since there were some frat boys passed out and some other game-day related injuries that filled all the ER rooms. by the time i got a room, my pain was so severe i was going from hot sweats to cold sweats.
poor katie was up until 330 am (i was in la-la land) waiting for the diagnosis: appendicitis. i had the operation sunday, and lots of people came to see me: nurses, mom and dad, bree-bert and family, and nurses who poked me with needles. i felt famous.
although there were lots of pokes and tests, the nurses were so nice to me. i felt like i was king for a day. i ordered room service (hospitals are good at making chicken broth and jello, that's about it), slept, and watched TV.
recovery is going well, and i just finished my finals. everything turned out great. you too can enjoy everything i went through for only $14,789 (total bill from the hospital), a non-vital organ, and 6 hours of severe pain.

now that you've lost that extra appendix weight, you should be able to blow by "dougie the priest" on the basketball court.
he likes to gamble. maybe you could play him to see who pays the hospital bill.
yikes! that's steep, small price to pay for fame I suppose. You look like royalty there too... not sure why, maybe the pasty been indooors too long, pallor of skin, or maybe the too cool to shave look. I've tried both, to little or no avail.
trav, i could always blow by dougie the priest, but now i should be able to pound him in tennis.
wash-mildews, i already had the pasty look before the operation. all i need is a rookie of the year crown.
