Emergecy Appendectomy

[ihgreenman]

For those of you who haven't heard, I had an emergency appendectomy Friday. I'm doing reasonably well at this point. Possibly TMI behind the cuts. You Have Been Warned.

Aw, man! I figured that you'd be confronted with something gluten-ous at some point.

I'm glad it was something easily recognizable, and I'm very glad you're home.

My first attempt at trying to convey what it is like to find bread on your plate, if you have celiac disease, was to say, "Imagine you find a live tarantula in your breakfast." But we decided that wouldn't work because my response to a a tarantula in my breakfast would be, "Hey! Look! A Mexican pink-toed tarantula! Cooool. Someone got something to put her in?"

Now, a scorpion dripping green venom--that might be different.

I am very relieved to be home and very grateful that of all the awful almosts and ifs, things are basically OK.
