yeah it was caught in time, so no rupturing or anything. The operation went smoothly, just waiting for some test results and I can go home.

 

That's good to hear.

Wait.. you're still in the hospital right? In your hospital room? You're using your iPhone there?? Tsk tsk! Don't you know that's the number one rule? No use of celphones inside hospitals!

--Coming from the #1 Rebel here. Ssshh...


Unless you have your laptop, then you're off the hook.

 

wait - you are still in the hospital!!!! wow.

 

Uh huh....just like on airplanes.

Hope you feel better DChap.

 

I was wondering which program your all using to mock up your signatures.
Thanks

 

Glad to see you're okay, my brother-in-law's burst during the wedding ceremony and didn't say anything til after the reception that night. By about 10pm when it was over, he was pale and covered in cold sweat. Spent about 3 weeks in the hospital because it ruptured.

 

you're lucky dchaps, if it ruptured you'd be in the hospital for quite some tmie.

i found out about 2 years ago that i had appendicitis, my mother who works at a hospital diagnosed me... The pain was pretty bad, but I persevered. Never went to the doctor, and a few days later my body got rid of the infection.

I was later reading online that something like 60% of the cases of appendicitis, people will get over it without actually rupturing. My mom wanted me to wait until the pain got almost unbearable to go to the doctor, and I'm glad, because I'm much happier without having surgery.

 

ask the guy in the hospital DChaps, you busy for the next couple weeks??

 

That's actually why I named the car. I wasn't going to succumb to such "silliness", but after the order was placed, I found myself always wondering "where's the car"...then the "Where's Waldo" character popped into my head. Once it dawned on me that he's dressed in a red and white striped shirt and hat...and the car I was waiting on was red with white stripes...it just stuck!

 

Hey Dance, i hope you're not chained to your MINI refusing to give it up.

 

the morning after the operation I was moved to another room (they are renovating so i was moved to a newer room that had just been renovated) it had a nice touch screen TV and internet thing built in to it.

I was in the hospital for about 23 hours, i am home now, relaxing, healing up, percacet bottle just inches away from me.

I am a rebel though and would have used my phone, but there was no signal inside of the building. I guess it was for the better.

 

glad you home now... take care!!

 

DChap hope you're feeling better!

 

okay...
if you have the HIFI, i PRAY to (insert religious icon, rock star, hero of your choice) that you NEVER EVER have to change out the rear turn bulbs on your own. Unless you have super small hands, wrists, forearms. I just spent 30 minutes putting in a LED rear signal in, and then taking it out putting the regular bulb back in. 30 minutes. Take about 90 seconds on my acura.

 

DC, Easy on those percacet's I don't want to see you halucinating and going out for a joy ride.
Hope you get better soon.

 

i'm alloud to take 2 at a time, so far i have only taken 1 since i know the risks involving percs. i hurt bad right now..... i am tired of being in pain

 

every day will get better, just hang in there!!!

 

Hope you are healing quickly and feeling well DChap!!!

I still have Ziggy, there is a guy high up the chain that is supposed to call me - starting 1.5 weeks ago- and still hasn't (to answer some questions that the dealership couldn't) sooooo right now I am sick of chasing people down. Still out motoring in Ziggy for now anyway. Not sure what I am going to do yet.

 

p.S: I received my Week 23 badge- very cool. Thank you to all who organized getting those made. Now I just need to get a badge holder.

 

Thanks for the update Dance... so does the dealer have the new car? Is everything just waiting on the "guy" to call and answer questions?

I still can't believe there was no mention of all of this prior to 2 weeks ago...

Enjoy Ziggy

 

Yup- the new MINI is already at the dealer and they are holding it. My previous ASK MINI rep is looking into this too and said she will let the guy know that is supposed to have called me that I still have questions that need answers.

 

Well, this kit box has been sitting in my office window for a couple three weeks. I happen to start wondering if those pink stars got put on the black car, and what kinda mileage people were getting and what their mods looked like.....and I signon and read this..and LO! I find my decoder glasses and some decryptor (?) and other stuff. Still not sure what to do with this stuff, but it sure is entertaining.....
Here's the report on Spaarky...
1) vanity plate containing above name not received from the KS prisons yet
2) still getting 33 MPG around town, got 38 MPG on the hi-way on a 12 hour trip KC to Wheeling, WV
3) Is the remote the only way to open the liftgate ???
4) Have only pushed the Sport button once, ggggooott--ssscared and turned it off
5)Two friends had MINI envy and -had- to go buy their own, now the dealer has NO INVENTORY.... :(
6) 5200 miles, nuttin but premium
7) have waxed those white wheels 3 times, still haven't tired of wiping them off ---must be an*l retentive.

 

you can use the rear hatch release if the doors are unlocked, i think. i've never actually had to use it but I did pop the boot when i was putting the trim back on after putting in the boot stripes.

 

I too had a question about opening the boot... went to the dealer for something else and mentioned the boot not opening... they said... if the doors are unlocked then you can use the switch in the car to pop the boot. if you get out of the car and use the remote to lock the doors you have to use the remote to unlock the boot, but after you close the boot, it will lock itself again... hope that makes sense.
I have "played around" with the premium gas to the mid range a couple tanks just to see if i would loose proformance and I noticed I lost about 20 miles to a tank of gas so back to premium for good.
I have added the "S" stickers to the sun visor to cover the yellow warning stickers, and it looks great!!!!
3500 miles in 2 1/2 months!! wow, now I need to talk my husband into getting his own, Nugget is the favorite car on weekends, but he is driving!

 

You definitely need to put your foot down and have him get his own.
