What happened to get you in hospital if you dont mind me asking Ryan?
A calcium ball grew in my intestine mate, and forced it to twist itself.
The doctor had to:-
1. Take the intestine out;
2. Cut the chunk with the ball out;
3. Inject air into them so that he could re-pack them properly
4. Re-pack them.
As they did the blood test, they also said my apendix (if that is how it is spelt) was about to burst at the same time !!! So I got a two for one operation, and they removed that as well.
The worst part about it, and being the tough kinda guy I am, when I initially went down there in pain, the doctors said they were going to put a drip in my arm. I took one look at the needle, and told the nurse I was feeling better !!! She asked me to jump up and down. It felt like glass ripping my guts to pieces. I had another glance at the needle, and said:- "Yep, I feel better".
The nurse said that regardless, she was going to inject me anyway and leave the end in so that they could plug the drip in if I had to come back. DOH !! So I go home, and stayed there until it became unbearable. I went back down. The doctor said to me that if I had stayed at home for another hour or two, I would have been dead, but they can't force anyone to stay if it is not their will.
I now have a zipper about 20cm long on my stomach (sucks).

On a lighter side, when I originally went in there the 1st time, this hot little 19-20 year old 5 foot odd blonde nurse said that she would like to do an internal inspection with the finger up my coit, and that this was probably the right thing to do with my symptoms. She then said I had a choice, and could decline that if I wanted to. So I declined of coarse !!
Well, one thing lead to another, and I end up on the pre-op table, and I'm about to be introduced to the doctor. In walks this 6 foot 7 dude (Dr Boland), with a glove on his right hand (hands the size Tasmania !!). He said to me, "Mate, I have to do that internal you passed up earlier !!!" Dead set, if his fingers were vibrators, he's be calling them the Deluxe Supercharge Model !!
So I lie back, and spread the ol' legs. The doctor starts to chuckle. "No mate, not that way, you have to lie on your side". He starts to lube the beast up. My wife sitting next to me doesn't see the funny side, as I might, or was told I have a 15% chance of dying on the operating table. I roll over to the side, and BAAAAM !!!
"Are you alright?" the doc asks.
"Yiep", I strain, eyes watering, face red in pain...
Moral of this story....if a hot blonde in a nurses uniform asks to shove her tiny fingers up your arse, accept it with open arms - maybe even get some pleasure out of it !!!!
I'm still having nightmares about my ordeal !!! Out of everything that happened that day, Dr Boland and that finger of his was the worst ****ing part !!!
