I know... I just was kidding around with you... you said you still had everything... I know those are supposed to fall out... so it's different... I guess if I was walking down the street and my appendix fell out! Well that would be different... :freak: Probably a lot less painful though, eh, Rev?

BeenaBobba Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 My appendix is still alive and kickin' in my abdomen. LOL. (So, yeah, I still have it.) God bless, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 What is your spleen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenaBobba Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 To the best of my knowledge, the spleen is located near the back of the stomach -- i.e., in the back of the upper-left abdomen. It helps to prevent infection, as I think it forms some types of white blood cells, filters dangerous things out of one's system, and gets rid of old red blood cells. A spleen is pretty helpful, but it's not necessary, so people can and do have it removed if it gets damaged. My spleen is still alive and kickin' in my body, though. God bless, Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
