Hope he gets well soon.

If it’s the same as my experience with appendicitis, he’ll be pretty bad off the next few days but might be able to move around by Sunday fairly well. Appendicitis is such a gnarly feeling.

I don’t know how safe it’d be for him to be on the sideline however. Potentially getting ran into by a DLineman or whatever after abdominal surgery probably isn’t good.

I wonder if Quinn will be the interim.

It's hard to imagine him returning to the sidelines for a big game in 4 days!
They are predicting he will though. Good Luck Mike.

Get well, Big Mike.

The same thing happened to my daughter.

It is a conspiracy if he is coaching the team on Sunday. Or just fantastic advancements in medical procedures. Wish this was the case back when Jimmy Smith had his appendix issues while still with the Cowboys.

Wow. My Mom's appendix ruptured on Thanksgiving Day. She is home from the hospital now and doing fine. Missed the Washington game, but that was the least of my worries.

My son's appendix ruptured when he was three years old (about 19 years ago). He was in the hospital for 10 days. We almost lost him.

Glad to hear they got to Big Mike's before it got to the point of rupture. Should be a pretty routine surgery.

My appendix ruptured in 8th grade, and it was some of the most painful things I've ever felt. Then, it abscessed so they couldn't just sew me back up. For a month I had an inch-deep wound packed with gauze that had to be removed daily, and the wound cleaned with alcohol, which freaking stung! I used to stick my finger down it to gross people out. Good times.
