Dad in Hospital

My dad was in the hospital after an attack of appendicitis. He had to have surgery for the condition. He should be back in the next day or two. He has been holding up well and doing a good job. Hang in there dad.

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a 3 1/2-inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine. The appendix contains specialized tissue that can produce antibodies, but no one is absolutely certain what its function is. One thing we do know: We can live without it, without apparent consequences.

Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgery to remove the appendix. Left untreated, an inflamed appendix will eventually burst, or perforate, spilling infection into the abdominal cavity. This can lead to peritonitis, a serious infection of the abdominal cavity's lining (the peritoneum) that can be fatal unless it is treated quickly with strong antibiotics.

Somebody hit my car while it was parked in front of the house and broke the mirror. That was on Saturday. When I went to school on Monday I was stopped just outside the school by a safety stop and issued a ticket.
