Philly's Out of the Hospital
Appendicitis can kill you
Saturday, January 14, 2012 by DrJBHL | Discussion: Community
Well, when Philly decides to do it, he does it right. He's given me permission to reveal what happened (I have to say that).
He's at home resting now, but over the past week, he's been a sick puppy. Seems he developed appendicitis, and while he was hospitalized, it decided to go "pop!".
Wish I had a pic of him to 'shop' with a 'hose up the nose'... but no luck. 
Seriously, this kind of thing can 'dispatch' one... so we're lucky to have the old coot around.
So leave the old goat a "Get well Philly"... ok?
Here's the humble room he "occupied":
Euphemism translation:
"Sound absorbing materials" = Your agonized screaming will not be heard, so don't bother.
"Less walking" = They amputated both legs. So what you were admitted for pneumonia?
"Natural lighting" = Do all your reading during the daytime. We're too cheap to spend money on light bulbs. "Candles not included."
"Patient lifts" = Well, you don't expect us to do that, do you?
"View our new patient room" = You didn't really think your room looked like this, did you? You get the old one. Here's your room:
And stop whining about "Where's my bed?

Thanks folks and Doc. 
Take the video tour, brand new hospital, open less then three months. http://www.phs.org/PHS/RioRancho/index.htm
If Doc thinks I'm giving him a photo to shop.............
Like I said to Doc, our health care isn't broken, we just need to remember it's managed health care and we are the managers.

I hope you heal fast Philly. I personally had that when I was 12, it was not a good deal. I died on the table (No! I did not see a light) all kidding aside, I wish you a speedy recovery...wax
