PHEW, I am SO SO GLAD that Ed took his sudden stomach pain seriously, and DID NOT put off going to the doc until AFTER THE SHOW... That's what my dad would have done. He had an appendectomy too, but he waited like 4 full days of stomach pain before going to the doctor, and by then, it was too late to do it laparoscopically, so he got a big scar and had like a month recovery time... It made a great story years later, but as a lesson of what NOT to do.

So thank you for taking your health seriously, Ed! <3

Big props to Ed for going to the hospital when the stomach pain got bad and Emily for enforcing the doctor's orders post-surgery. It's so, so important to seek out care when you need it and make sure you're doing everything in your power to ensure a smooth recovery. Very glad the surgery went well and you were still able to do the show!

I had an emergency appendectomy on my honeymoon, followed by a very painful eight hour drive home. Ed, you’re a superhero to be up and moving around the next day.

Ed’s feelings of uselessness broke my heart.. as someone with several chronic illnesses that flare up and can be disabling, I always feel useless cause I can’t help with most things.
I’m glad he got better and can get back to his normal life ❤️

Emily acting like a protective mother when Ed is trying to do stuff he isn’t allowed yet to do because of his appendicitis  is really cute 🙃

I laughed out loud when Ed called himself, "A young, healthy SPECIMEN!" What a great smile he has. I'm so glad you were able to get through that ordeal with no complications! A friend of the family had her 18 year old son in the hospital for a week because he developed sepsis after having his appendix out! I think it was inflamed and may have burst though....that always makes the surgery more risky. Thank Goodness Ed didn't have anything like that happen!!!!!!

I hope you're all headed up now Ed!!
When Ed said the drugs were kicking in, all I could think of was a classic of Emily's, lol.
"Remember kids, don't do drugs . . . And breed snakes." Where Ed jumped in and said "You can just stop at don't do drugs, lol."😂😂

Ed smiling on the hospital bed was honestly so cute (without being a weirdo) he has such a beautiful smile! I’m glad you took the pain seriously and got the right treatment 🎉

that appendix joke by that one dude sent me howling XD fantastic joke!

Ed rockes the heck outta that hospital gown though!!!
So very thankful you made it through surgery ok. And made the show!! Tough guy!

That basket made by AJ was absolutely fab. Kid does have some mad skills 🤘🏽

Poor Ed had learned the after anesthetic exhaustion. Even an hour can wipe you out for days! You did so well and I'm glad you didn't wait until it was peritonitis as that's scary.

Aww Emily being all strong but you can see in her eyes she’s just being strong for him with her eyes all watery  this was an unexpected such a sweet window into y’all’s relationship 🩷 glad everything went well

HI!!!!! im the one that made the painting of cheyenne with the sweater!! (i think it was the one on the left on the insta post if my memory serves me correct) my friend gave that to you during the show and i was patiently waiting for the video and i cannot thank you enough for posting it on insta!!!! it meant a lot to me and im so glad you loved it!

edit: i TOTALLY forgot that i gave you other art, (gargoyle gecko with yellow background on a blue gloved hand on the far right in the background at the end) as well! i hope you also liked the hidden rufus sticker!

sad edit: just had the displeasure of learning that editing a comment will remove a creators heart... thanks yt. ah well

When Emily walked by Ed with the Argentine Boa saying "this is a legless lizard" I laughed so much!

Phew. Thought Ed was ill again. This was from a few weeks ago and not that he regrew his appendix lol.

as a fellow member of the 'surprise, you have appendicitis!' club, i'm glad you're doing okay, ed!

Thank you, Emily, for being firm with the weight limit for Ed. Folks don't really realize what complications can occur if you don't pay attention to that. Good on you, Ed for listening to your body, the doc, and Emily. And while I do not believe in using my phone when driving, OMG, yes I too would've been filming while passing you.

Ed you are not alone I had one too. I had softball practice 6 hours before waking up in extreme pain. In the er by 3:45 in the morning and had surgery at 11:00 then stayed the night in the hospital. Most expensive sleepover I have ever had

Aw, poor Ed, but to echo another comment, I'm so glad you both took the pain seriously and got it checked out ASAP instead of going to the show and letting it become a much more dire situation. I hope you both got some extra much needed rest once you got home <3
