So glad you caught it when you did. I'm wishing you a speedy and full return to your normal good health. Glad you spoke up to that arrogant know-it-all!

Jeez Louise, Tinman! That's pretty scary. Glad you got it fixed.

For some dumb reason I've always thought of appendicitis a a kid / young adult disease. I better rethink that, since I'm still sporting my appendix.

Hope you have a speedy recovery. Elaine

Good for you. I wonder what he thought you should say..? "Oh my gosh! You're right! Please could you put my stomach back for me, please?"

People may have many reasons to criticise me - but I usually respond better if it is constructive. Otherwise, my response is in line with the one you gave!
