If an employee was in bad enough shape to willingly ask someone to cut several holes in them and yank A frickING ORGAN out through one of those holes, then pay that person thousands of dollars for the experience, it's safe to say that they might need more than two days out of the office, Mr. Cratchit.

Of course, this is the OT, so I had my gallbladder removed laparoscopically in the morning and went to the bar with my friends that night.

Within 12 hours of surgery you may get up and move around. You can usually return to normal activities in two to three weeks. If surgery is done with a laparoscope (a thin telescope-like instrument for viewing inside the abdomen), the incision is smaller and recovery is faster.

I was just curious guys.......because I've never had an appendectomy..........

This is the worst possible time he could be off work though. I was just wondering what kind of time I'm looking at.
