Oh? apendix. Now I get it. He called me yesterday and left a message on my machine. It was kind of muttled and it sounded like he said they were going to have to remove some apendages. After seeing some of the pictures posted here I thought I had it figured out. Whew, now I feel better. I would trade my apendix for any of my apendages.
If you see hime Rich, tell him get well soon.

Rich, Did you let him anywhere near the Sheep?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 25, 2004, 03:35 PM:
Wow.
Hope it had not ruptured, those things can get serious, real fast. But, he's tough. Hang in there, big guy!
Good hunting. LB
Anybody know some good jokes? I'm sure he could use a good belly laugh, right now. (not funny)
Also, hope they cut him along the bikini line so he can still look buff in them Speedos.

Rich,
Whatever you do, don't pick him up and run down a flight of stairs with him in your arms. Last October, two weeks after my son had his appendix out, one of his school friends did that very thing And by mid-afternoon, we were back in the ER making sure internal sutures weren't torn loose. That was one hurtin' boy.
Do tell him to take it easy, if it hurts don't do it, and get better soon.

Bummer. Rich says they got his MOJO, too!

Crow Woman just called. She is working a show this weekend
When I told her about Jay. She said she is on her way to administer special remedies until Jay gets on his feet again.
Don't know what the remedies are, Nor how long Jay will be off his feet.

Jay, heal up fast my friend!
Posted by Q-Wagoner (Member # 33) on June 26, 2004, 08:13 AM:
I am confused? ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
First I heard it was a lobotomy, and then I heard it was a hysterectomy ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
and now you say it was just an appendectomy? Well I had to call Jay to confirm it. As I thought he was going through his final sex change operation and the operation was called an “addadicktome.” or something like that. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Good luck Jay. You are in our prayers.
Good hunting.

Jay, I warned you manny times about drinking "straight water." Now, look what happens.
Chin up and be sure and show us a photo of the scar. Or was it the bath you took in the desert?????
Take care.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 26, 2004, 05:29 PM:
Rumors are flying... won't be back for six to eight weeks; as in extreme makeover?
One thing though, if it were me, I'd get that zipper tatooed with some fancy barbed wire. Is that cool, or what?
Plenty of bedrest, Jay & no smoking, either. Hope you have an exotic nurse to change your dressing.
Good hunting. LB

Thank you for the well wishes fellows.
Momma's taking real good care of me.
I kinda' feel like a cat.... Drop something on the floor, look at it stupidly and say to myself, That's somebody else's problem and move on.
Thought I was going to have to spend my first night home in the Buick as I couldn't seem to get out of the silly thing. Did manage to get out and it felt good being home.

welcome home Jay;
I heard that when they opened you up to get out the appendix, they had to stop for a minute due to smoke alarms going off!!! be careful it does take a while to heal...
Posted by Jay Nistetter (Member # 140) on June 27, 2004, 09:36 AM:
Norm,
You bring up an interesting topic.
Today I had my first cigarette craving. My wife, Creulla, easily overpowered me in round one of this unfinished saga.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 27, 2004, 09:56 AM:
JAY! Feeling better? You know, I had that operation when I was about ten years old, but I recall it as not a picnic....but at your age , you better go real slow, for a while. Like, no pickup games at the gym; going for those rebounds can hurt ya. Ouch, just thinking about it!
Good hunting. LB
Posted by Byron South (Member # 213) on June 27, 2004, 11:06 AM:
No smokes? I'll send you some Copenhagen. That will speed up the healing process .
Glad your home .

Heres an interesting Appendix story for ya. I honestly thought that this would deffinately kill you but I was wrong.
Right around Christmas fellow employee Terry M**** started to feel kind of sickly, then was fairly seriously uncomfortable. He even went to his doctor who looked him over and decided that he had a cold bug that had settled in his lower intestines. Terry stayed at work and struggled along for over a week, but on Wednesday he had to go home. On Thursady we got the news that his apendix had burst ..... bad news right ..... but it had burst over a week before he went home sick! Thats right he carried a burst apendix around with him for over a week before going to the hospital.
But it gets better. The doctor that gave him the diagnosis was stunned, he said Terry you should be either real sick right now or dead! But Terry was only very uncomfortable and slightly swollen. The doctor said that this was almost unheard of, but his body had walled off the infection like a dogs body will do, Terry was actually on the mend. Naturally we all thought that he would be having an emergency appendectomy but on Friday Terry was back at work. The doctors said that since he was all right he should wait for the swelling to go down before doing anything about the apendix.
4 or 5 months went by before he had the thing removed.
I bet you were under the impression that a blown apendix was a death sentence if it went untreated, I know I was, I guess its not always a death sentence.

Hey Micheal,I'll bet he dip's Copenhagen. Am I right? Huh?
Jay, just let me know. I'll get you some right out .

Posted by bucksnort (Member # 202) on June 28, 2004, 04:00 PM:
Byron, I live much closer to Jay than you do. I will go out in the back, and scoop up one or two of "Hooch's" dog torpedos and send them up. Save you the extra postage. Same difference, right? YUCK! I think I will take the "torpedo" over that stuff any day.
Posted by Rich Higgins (Member # 3) on June 28, 2004, 06:33 PM:
Tyler and I visted with Jay yesterday. He is up and about, still doing 101 Jay things. Albeit a little more slowly and stiffly than usual. He gave us a copy of his completed video. Dyno-mite. Hugely entertaining. It follows the normal Nistetter slant on things. A lot of good behavioral and body language tips.

Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on July 03, 2004, 06:22 PM:
Jay,
I was worried about all of those stitches you must have. So I thought I'd send you something to test the strength of them.
( I sent something by email to raise your blood pressure a minute ago, but Leonard would delete it and ban us both if I posted it here. )
1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one
carrion allowed per passenger."
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and
says "Dam!"
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the
craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you can't have
your kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The other
says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root
canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing
in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about
an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't
stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to
a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in
Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of
himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her
husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband
responds,
"They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
8. Some friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a
small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers
from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition
was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not.
He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the
rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug
in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed
their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop.
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can
prevent florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very
little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered
from bad breath. This made him . (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)...
A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his
friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them
laugh.
No pun in ten did!

Tim, that was wicked. I popped my stitches.
Poor Jay.

Nobody would listen to Saint Paul preach his message at one of the Greek towns. So he went out side of the city gates and got stoned!!!
Its true, check it out!!!!
Posted by Norm (Member # 240) on July 05, 2004, 10:27 AM:
Tim, are you still swallowing that copenhagen juice or experimenting with the mixing of corn squeezing with aquave juices?
Bucksnort, you should send Jay one of those stogies that almost took care of your wife at the expo... that would heal him up better than any copenhagen juice

Norm,
I haven't had a dip in five weeks come tomorrow.
I'm a lot more than a little irritable right now. I wouldn't wish my lack of nicotine on anyone at the moment. I'm afraid if I get to drinking, I'm either going to buy more cope, or head for a Mexican Cathouse. Probably both.
I'd better just stay right here nice and dry for another week or so.
Posted by Locohead (Member # 15) on July 06, 2004, 10:29 AM:
Tim I quit Cope' years and years ago. I've gone thru stages of using up a can or twelve every other year or so but for the most pasrt I'm pretty much not addicted anymore.
You might save a small fortune. I started buying the stuff for about $0.75 with no taxes years ago. What is a can cost now about jillion bucks or so???
The moral: Although you quit (and I congradulate you) THE CRAVING WILL NEVER GO AWAY!!!!!!!
JUST STAY QUITIFIED anyway!!!! Good job and good luck!!!!!
Posted by Lonny (Member # 19) on July 06, 2004, 08:51 PM:
Your right Loco, the craving never goes away. I still love the smell of a freshly opened can of Copenhagen, and its been over eight years since my last dip. I actually had dreams about taking a pinch for several years after I quit.
Damn glad I quit now though. With the price that stuff is now, and the hassle of always making sure your can was close by no matter where you were.
Your over the hump now Tim. Don't be tempted to even take a single pinch or you'll be right back to buying a roll before you realize it.
