Transcript

Having your appendix getting exploded in your body is probably the most terrifying thing that can ever happen to you. And that's why your boy has been gone for a little over a week. In the beginning of last week, your boy started feeling some really bad stomach pain. And just for context, my stomach and I haven't had the best relationship. Last three years, I've been no the ER, like, five times because of different stomach problems. Like, it it's horrible. I was like, I'm good, bro. I just gotta walk this one off. It's gonna go best in, like, two or three days. It'll be fine. And, surprise, surprise, it actually got worse. Walked it off a few more days. I was like, bro, I'm good. Like, this is just another horrible idea. This one night at, like, five in the morning, it got so bad. I was like, okay. I gotta go to the ER. I hopped in the car, drove to the hospital, and waited, like, three hours to get treated. CT scan on my stomach. And lo and behold, my appendix almost just worse out of my stomach. By the way if worst and does not get treated you can die thankfully we caught it at the right time and man why did I delay it so long I've waited a couple days to get this crap checked out to my 20 followers that actually keep up with my page you probably had to go and subscribe to Gerbert's page to see his exclusive content but yeah just know we back Super grateful that nothing serious came in and I'm still alive. And to my young people that don't think, oh, I'm young. Like nothing bad could ever happen to me. That's not true. If there is something wrong with your body and it's telling you something, listen or it might just kill you. See
