Ouch appendicitis!
Well unfortunately I am out of the gym for a month! Last week I started to get this pain on the right side of my body and every hour it seemed like it was getting worse and worse. I decided to take off from work early and try to get some rest. That night the pain got a little worse and by morning I decided that I was going to go to the doctor and see what in the world was going on! Long story short they found out that I had appendicitis and I was going to have to go under the knife that night! Before I knew it I was hooked up to a machine and was pumped full of a few doses of pain killers! My eyes shrank to the size of a pin points and all of the sudden I was good to go and feelin’ good! I was released from the hospital 24 hours later and I had to leave my appendix behind.
Its recommended that I stay out of the gym for a month and even though I am pretty stubborn I am going to follow the doctors orders. He went to school for 10 years so I guess he knows what he is talking about. So for now I am going to try and watch my diet and keep up on my protein. I will be back in the gym on June 21st!

Rest up and before you know you’ll be back in the gym. All the best.
