This is NOT a medical advice thread.

Just looking for opinions.

Even though my appendix is OK, I am thinking of removing it myself, just as a preventative measure. I am going to do it right now, while on DU.

Question for you....where exactly is it located...and I mean EXACTLY!

It would help if you told me how far to measure from my navel, and in which direction.

Thanks a lot.

1. You'll want to begin with the anesthesia.

About a pint of strong dark ale and 3 vicodin ought to be good for a start.

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. Ok, done...

Now please answer the "location" question before it wears off.

[rug]

2. It's directly between you legs.

Be careful.

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. Thanks! Here goes...

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. THAT WASN'T MY FUCKING APPENDIX, RUG

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

6. Now you're gonna need

an addadicktomy as well.

Hope you have the funds, amigo.

8. But first, you will need the approval of your insurance carrier.

And they'll almost certainly ask whether or not the proposed procedure is medically necessary. Well, is it?

:evilgrin:

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. Do you think I would be doing this myself if I had insurance?

[Moondog]

15. Oh. Well, I see. Hmmm (Moondog goes off mumbling to himself).

:dunce: :silly:

[LeftyFingerPop]

14. Goddamnit. It's always something.

7. You're killing me here

:spank: :rofl:

[rug]

9. My bad. Sorry Lefty.

[LeftyFingerPop]

10. You may call me Leftilina.

[rug]

11. It's not so bad. At least you didn't lose any elbow skin.

[LeftyFingerPop]

12. You're right. I should learn to put these things in perspective.

16. You need the at home operating kit, "Suture Self." Also, a rag to bite on.

While you're in there you could probably remove that extra kidney.

[LeftyFingerPop]

17. How do you identify the kidney? What shape is it?

[Flying Dream Blues]

18. It's shaped like a pool. That's the one.

Now you can afford insurance! Just be sure to keep it real cold until you sell it.

[LeftyFingerPop]

20. But my pool is shaped like the head and shoulders of Teddy Roosevelt...

I don't have any organs that look like that.

[Flying Dream Blues]

21. There still may be time to find your Operation! game...

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. That brings back bad bad memories...

I stuck my tongue in the guy's liver and got the shock of my life.

[Flying Dream Blues]

23. LOL! Thanks for the fun thread...I hope you used a nice tight stich... :) nt

[LeftyFingerPop]

24. BTW...I actually used to love the game Operation!

:hi:

[Flying Dream Blues]

25. Me, too! AAAAAAAAAAANK! Whoops, killed another one...

:hi:

26. I just checked my calc book.

The appendix starts on page 1015.

By the way, there are in fact SEVEN appendices. So you may be busy for a while.
