Sorry to hear that. Similar thing happened to my nephew in the UK. His parents thought he was trying to get outta school so didn’t take him to the hospital quick enough. Nearly died. Shit is no joke

Luckily, in my case I’d literally just read the symptoms a few days before and knew what it was right away. Happened in NYC and the hospital was awesome

You're right. They're not Cavendish. They might be Orinocos.

That's cool. But how come they put the stalk in upside down?

oh damn. At first I though you meant they just forgot to close it, and you didn’t bother telling them. haha. Hope you’re recovery goes well.

Why the fuck did I click on that? I knew what was coming

My ex had an abdominal surgery incision that got infected from the inside out because the skin closed too early- before the rest of the wound healed. The Dr picked up a scalpel and slit that sucker right open in front of us and then packed it with gauze. It was…quite a thing to witness. Ex had to pull the gauze and rinse the wound out nightly until it fixed it was WILD.

Holy shit that’s crazy. You have to do that so everything can drain?

I would have much less of a problem doing something like that to another person. I freak when it’s my own shit though. I pulled nose packing out of my nose by myself and thought that was bad…

Does anyone know if this is a Big Mike banana in the photo? It doesn’t look like a Cavendish.

Hey, samesies!
They had to exteriorize so I've got a huge scar and yeah it was left completely open to reduce risk of infection.
Rinsing that out multiple times a day was an odd experience.

That depends on how bad your appendicitis is.
I was in the hospital for two weeks.
They've been doing laparoscopic appendectomies for a long time, but that only works if things haven't exploded yet.

Who wraps bananas in plastic? The gas released makes them ripen faster. Considering that they're already ripe, that means spoilage. It's also terrible for the environment.

In the road? Like steam rollered in?

Nope, Chuck Testa.

Very possible since I use them till their all worn out

What if it's actually your knife from the future?

Yeah there should be a dressing to catch the drainage.

Nope, graupel.

Graupel. That is what it’s called when it snows dippin dots.

They are so girthy! Can’t wait to try to fit a whole one in my mouth

It looks likes Ron Weasley when he sees all the spiders in the Chamber of Secrets 😂

Not quite? In my city in UP you will occasionally see green bananas sold like this alongside other vegetables, but in the fruit markets and at the grocery stores I’ve only ever seen them sold in bunches like they do in the west.

I miss these so much. WHY KLONDIKE, WHY?!

There was no packing, lol. He just put some gauze on it and sent me home. I had a blood stain on my car seat after the drive.

Same thing here, except the doctor didn't prepare me at all.
