PennyFarthing123 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Just wanted to let everyone know that BEENTHEREDONETHAT checked into Bumrungrad Hospital with a ruptured appendix last night and had surgery this morning. He appears to be doing well at the moment but the Dr. says he needs to stay in hospital for at least 5 days to monitor for complications. I am sure he would appreciate hearing from a few of you. I will leave my laptop with him so he can pass the time on the net and get back to posting when he is feeling a bit better.

sbk Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 A ruptured appendix is not good, glad to hear all went well and that you now only have to deal with the joys of hospital food. (get someone to run downstairs and get some food from the hospital lobby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuestHouse Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) I feel for old Beentheredonethat, I had a ruptured appendix a couple of years ago it was extremely painful. That said, 'at least five days in hospital' sounds a bit extreme. I spent three days in hospital on the same basis of checking for any after infections. Best wishes to BTDT for a swift recovery when you speak to him. Edited June 26, 2010 by GuestHouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusMe Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Best wishes, BTDT. I caught mine before it ruptured and managed to have it extracted. But for a few hours, I could have been where you are. Speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennyFarthing123 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Five days does seem a bit long but he wasn't in the best of shape by the time he got to the hospital. Also he hates to admit it but he isn't the youngest kid on the block anymore. I'm hoping that there will be no complications and the Dr. are just giving a safe estimate of how long he will have to remain in the hospital.

mizzi39 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Get well soon BTDT. I know what you're going through. Happened to me about 10 years ago. Had an appendectomy just before rupture. was in hospital for 2 days then sent home. Back in hospital 1 day later spiking a fever of 104 degrees F. which kept me in hospital for 7 more days on intravenous antibiotics., because of an infection. Exercise as tolerated to avoid clotting. Wish you a speedy recovery. Chok dee. :jap: Edited June 26, 2010 by mizzi39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Mine ruptured and it was no picnic. The first doctor told me food poisoning, but by the second day I was in so much pain, the second guy rushed me into the operating room. Wish it happened in Thailand. American hospitals are evil. I only got to stay in the hospital 1 day before they kicked me out the door. My family carried me to the car and into the bed at home where I remained for 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark45y Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Happened to me a year ago in Thailand. I was in the hospital on IV antibiotics for 9 days after the operation. After I got home I went to a clinic daily to have the bandage changed, Slight infection in the incision which oral antibiotics cleared up. Good luck hope you are well soon.

PennyFarthing123 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 BTDT is now on the Surgical Floor and out of CCU. Still not feeling too good and I think the 5 days was probably an accurate estimate at this point. Still not allowed food or liquids. Says it is making him grumpy and not his sweet and lovable self. He said to say thanks for all the well wishes and when he is up to it he will post and thank you himself. PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Glad you're on the mend. One of our neighbours was rushed into hospital with a ruptured appendix. Her stitches looked like they had worked on a mail sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spee Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Best wishes for a complete recovery. Like the Snoopy card that I got for my father who is also in the hospital says, there's no speed limit on the road to recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
