I have. Do you have a fever? That was part of my symptoms, but it isn't always the case.

You should probably get yourself checked out, Ranger Dan, and the sooner the better. If it is, and it bursts, you are in deep doo-doo, literally.

You may want to nip down to the emergency room on this one.
Do you have pain in your lower back or your groin?
If you start getting pain there do not fuck around!
Go to the hospital Dan.It could be a kidney stone.
In fact,just do us all a favor and go now so we won't worry. :wink:

I'm gonna live. Its an infection right next to the appendix. They don't think its the appendix itself. We're gonna wait some more before they cut it out.

Good to hear from you, Ranger Dan. I suppose they got you on major antibiotics as they wait and see. I hope your recovery is quick and uneventful.
