So, some of you may have noticed I've been pretty scarce for a bit (or who knows, maybe you didn't miss me)
Anyhows..................couple of weeks ago was at a buddy's watching week 17 NFL, wasn't feeling well and left
early. Kind of thought I was getting the stomach flu, which I thought was weird because I had already had it a
few weeks prior. Came home, Mrs. Gussy made a light dinner, I ate a little and spent the next 12 hours or so
stuck in the bathroom. Monday around noon everything pretty much cleared up as far as bathroom time but
my gut still wasn't feeling any better. I didn't eat anything Monday or Tuesday and then Tuesday night, Mrs.
Gussy, being the wife of the year that she is gave me a secret drug cocktail (she's a nurse, there's an outside
chance we have a secret stash of some ish that we probably shouldn't), anyhows, she comes and gives me
like 8 pills and says go to bed. Now I always get a little leary when she does this, the last time she did it I slept
for 18 hours and it seemed as if she enjoyed me being out of her hair a bit too much. Either way, about 16 hours
later, I wake up Wednesday, I "think" I may feel a little better and think I'll try to eat a little ramen soup. Bear in
mind I have literally eaten nothing since Sunday night and it is now Wednesday morning and I'm a solid 270'ish.
Couldn't eat it. Didn't throw it up, just couldn't eat. Something was wrong. My gut was still hurting but I couldn't
throw up. I showered Wednesday late afternoon/early evening and when I get out my gut is distended like a
pregnant woman. Now, my gut is normally a "bit" distended, but not like this. And when I look down, it's like
about 2/3 of it is on the left side of my belly button. And just to touch it is BRUTAL. I go to ER, they tell me they
think I have a bowel obstruction and they are going to keep me overnight, put me on some med, see if I feel
better in the morning. I don't. I feel worse. Ends up my small intestine twisted all up and rolled over on itself. They
Split me open like a melon, take my 23' of intestine out, put it on a tray, untangle it and put it back in. If I were a
horse or a dog they would have put me down, lol. Either way, was in the joint for just under a week, been home
a few days, still pretty sore, but have a really cool story, and a fantastic scar. Chicks dig scars. Right?
There he is!
