Last week I wasn’t feeling too good – I was having a hard time sleeping in any position except on my right side.  Then Thursday morning came and I decided this wasn’t going to go away.  My wife drove me to the emergency room where it was determined from a CAT scan that I had an inflammed appendix.  Two hours later I had Laparoscopic surgery to remove my appendix.  One of the first things that I thought of when I started to wake up from my anthesia-induced stupor was “Gee, I wonder how much that appendix weighed?”

A quick internet search reveals it to be approximately 1.5 grams.  That translates to 0.000033 seconds faster in the quarter mile.  Whoo hoo!

I was planning to work on my car last weekend but obviously I could not.  As soon as I feel like the stitches inside me aren’t going to rip open with the slightest physical activity, I am going to do something fun with the car.  I have a couple of things in mind.  Stay tuned!
