Och! Michael. They have no idea what the appendix does, if anything, let alone what muckles it to the point of trying to kill us by exploding. Sardonic grin. In my case, I had an appendicolith, a wee calcified stone that blocks the appendix. They said the best knows cause is "it just happens." My best guess is speculation and I have no way to prove it one way or the other, but the effect of grains and their anti-nutrients on the intestinal wall is highly abrasive -- so I can't help but wonder if that may have contributed to the original lodging on the irritant that eventually calcified. But that all gets into diet stuff that many here prefer to avoid, so that's all I'll wonder about that here.
More good news, however, was that the surgeon did not get confused and remove my left appendix. They must not get much humor at the surgical ward (don't they know they're supposed to be like the surgeons in M*A*S*H*?), because that lame joke kept them laughing a while. Grin.
