So I woke up Thursday morning, to a horrible feeling similar to the pain from being punched in the gut and both kidneys. I stayed in bed all day, and then decided to call the doctor in the late afternoon. I went to see my family doc at around 5pm, and she told me to go to the emergency room immedediately because the source of pain was my lower right abdomen [:@]

I get to the ER, and they make me wait around for approx 3 hours so they can give me a catscan. Finally they get me in and sure enough, it is Appendicitis.......[:'(]

They did the surgery yesterday early afternoon and I have been on some extreme painkillers all day yesterday (morphine) and today as well (hydrocodone). I got home late last night and can barely move and can't stand up from the couch without help. My poor GF is going to be nuts soon I think because I know I must be a major PITA right now. She is being good to me though and taking care of me very well.

So what does this have to do with bowhunting you ask?

According to the tracking info I have, my new bow (Patriot) will be here on Monday, and according to the doc, I am not supposed to lift anything heavier than 5lbs for at least 3 weeks, probably 4. When I asked about drawing a 70lb bow, he laughed and said I would be lucky to do it sometime in March.............

So now I have a new Mossy Oak Obsession colored paperweight until at least march....... I think the anxiety of waiting to shoot this thing is going to kill me.
