I dealt with his first case in September 2022. I decided to take antibiotics instead of surgery. However, if I hadn&#8217;t had to wait 15 hours and suddenly be unable to arrange childcare, I would have opted for surgery.  In July 2023, my appendicitis returned. Once again, I had to wait an insane amount of time, so I decided to administer antibiotics and scheduled surgery for this September. <\/p>\n<p>The surgery went well. I was told later that it was a struggle to wake up from the anesthesia (I have the IV scar to prove it), but the surgery itself was a success. Recovery was fairly easy. They are, <strong>1 month supply<\/strong> I took oxycodone, but my wife was unable to receive it for me. Instead, I decided to smoke a lot of weed and eat a lot of food. It&#8217;s been an amazing week and a half. The situation could have been much worse. <\/p>\n<p>They said they had to wait this long for various reasons. The biggest thing was that my condition was not a &#8220;priority emergency.&#8221; That is, as long as your appendix doesn&#8217;t rupture or rupture, you&#8217;ll be fine. The pain of a ruptured appendix is \u200b\u200bdefinitely worse than that of simple appendicitis. A ruptured or ruptured appendix can be fatal, and that&#8217;s what Stephen Colbert has been dealing with.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert was supposed to have a post-Thanksgiving show full of filler and new topical monologue jokes. Instead, the host had to cancel due to his circumstances. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/-late-show-stephen-colbert-burst-appendix-rcna126882\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruptured appendix<\/a> (Thankfully removed). Now he has postponed the show for another week. Colbert explained: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@colbertlateshow\/post\/C0aFaxjRa0F\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thread<\/a>&#8220;I have listened to the doctor&#8217;s advice and am continuing to rest and heal. Thank you for all the well wishes and I will see you again soon.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Colbert is taking time to recover. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll use THC to get through this like I did, but I&#8217;m going to let that idea live in my head for a while. Appendicitis occurs suddenly and can be very frightening. Just like a sudden health scare, it helps put things into perspective. When I was discharged from the hospital, I didn&#8217;t want to work, I just wanted to hug my kids and wife. I&#8217;m sure Colbert does the same thing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Appendicitis is a pain I have never experienced before, and I have experienced it twice.
