The Lathum appendix strikes again - and that's not all that strikes!

I wasn't feeling too good and after a couple of days of stomach ache the Doctor said that I had some of the symptoms of appendicitis but not enough to confirm the diagnosis. I assured him that the Lathum appendix can give false and misleading clues and asked for a CAT scan which I had the following day and appendicitis was confirmed. Next day I had my appendix removed, spent the night in the hospital and now plan to spend a few days whining and taking advantage of Lola's good nursing.

"And now the rest of the story"

Unfortunately as I was being discharged two young Mexican men stole Lola's purse right out of her hand in the hospital parking lot. Fortunately, the police have a good lead on the perpetrators. We have, however, been busily closing credit cards and getting new ID's - Lola had my wallet too for safe keeping. What a nightmare. This has been very very upsetting for both of us.
