Guest Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The abdominal soreness is the worst! For binge watching? I'm a huge fan of Veronica Mars, weirdly enough, and Agents of SHIELD. The latter, especially lends itself to multiple hours on the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Glad you're back home where you can get a little more rest. heh. I was on Cipro and Flagl last year... they were awful. Now I'm reading scary stuff about them and long term issues. Ugh. As for shows. Sounds like light and fun are in your mix: We like: Dark Matter (Netflix for the first 2 season). Shetland (not exactly light and fun - but a good mystery with a great location) Midnight Diner:Tokoyo Stories - just discovered this and they're very nice. . but it's subtitled, you may not be up for reading your shows right now. Longmire - love this series, especially the first 3 seasons. Hope you have a restful recovery time. Take care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Glad you're home and recovering! My Netflix suggestions: White Collar, Leverage, The Finder (just episodes 1-12. No need to watch the 13th), Haven, Shetland, and NCIS. If you liked Star Trek: Next Generation back in the day, it's on there, too! :coolgleamA: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Glad you're home! Regarding shows, my first thought was Parks and Rec but laughing could be problematic I suppose! (I hated the first few episodes but the series is a favorite!) I recently happily binged Grantchester. My *favorite* ST is Deep Space Nine! Hope you feel better soon!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I'm glad to hear you're home. Rest up and stay on top of those painkillers! The Great British Bake Off. The hosts seem to root for the contestants, and everyone is supportive of each other. (nvm about PBS. I don't think they're the same shows.)

happypamama Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Glad you are home! White Collar is my favorite for binge watching. It's crime drama but on the lighter side, not gory, very clean (so, generally okay for an older teen), and with a good dose of humor. Plus there's a lot of focus on art! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peso Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Get well soon and take good care!! (And may I suggest the Great British Baking Show?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Oh, dear! Gentle hugs, and wishes for a speedy recovery! In the meantime... One show dh and I really enjoyed binge watching was a Canadian murder mystery called Endgame. I think you can get it through itunes and amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The Office Happy Valley ( the British series, not the Penn State docu ) I hope you're doing well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Told my dd about you because 1) she loves you and 2) she had her appendix removed once we realized what it was. I messaged her about you and she said "Yes! Madeline! That book is how I diagnosed myself." #TrueStory We love the Brits here: Great British Baking Show (whatever it's called) Doc Martin The IT Crowd (some episodes can be quite blue) Sherlock Downton Abbey And one American gem: The Grinder. I spent decades being mad at Rob Lowe. I've forgiven him. Fred Savage slays me in this show! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 How did I miss this thread until now??? Thanks so much to Erin for posting. I'm so glad you're feeling better, Susan, but that must have been a scary (and painful!!!) experience! I hope you recover very quickly! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking Squirrels Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So glad you're doing well! Merlin, Sherlock, The Great British Bake Off, and Arrowverse (Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow) are my favorites after Doctor Who.

FaithManor Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The Great British Baking Show is fun. Sherlock for sure. The Crown because the costuming and sets are worth seeing. White collar is kind if fun...comedic crime show featuring an amazing art thief working for the FBI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Aww, thanks, guys!! I'm home now. The appendix didn't rupture but I apparently already had quite the case of peritonitis, so I was in a little longer for those lovely drip antibiotics. SUPER SORE now. Do you know how many times you use your ab muscles per day? Yep. That many times. According to the doctor, I'm supposed to carry on with daily life as long as it doesn't hurt. Think it's going to be an unproductive week. :) Painkillers aren't really conducive to long reading sessions, so I'm just going to give up on books for the week. Sounds like a good opportunity to binge watch something. Any recommendations? I already went through iZombie and all seven seasons of ST:TNG. Oh, and I rewatched all 14 seasons of Top Chef. And Em and I are finishing up Dr. Who. Ideas? I liked Eureka, ST:Enterprise and Voyager. Just try all the ST series. Gone with the Wind is on Amazon Prime right now. Chef was a gray movie that I think is on Netflix now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 As I am sure you know, you are extremely lucky that your Appendix did not rupture. You would have been far worse off if that had happened. Take it easy and each day there will be a little less discomfort and you will feel a little stronger each day.

SJ. Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I am glad you didn't have a rupture and should be feeling better soon. My Netflix recommendation is Stranger Things. If you have Hulu then I recommend Handmaid's Tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I just saw this. I'm so glad you are home and hopefully feeling much better. :grouphug: Huge Doc Martin fan here if you haven't already found something. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Just catching up. I hope you are feeling better. My dh had his split open when I was across the country. The surgeon said what saved my dh's life was his appendix was in the wrong place! He really is an alien. We are huge ST fans here. Loved Eureka. Covert Affairs but skip the last season. Forever on Amazon. It has Ione Gruffudd in it. Unless you are ok with gore, skip episode 6. 19 seasons of Mythbusters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Binge watching is hard work. Ds had us watch all of Firefly one New Years Eve. Feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm home now. ... Ideas? Happy to hear that you're back at home. I hope you feel better soon. I don't watch much TV but I'll cast a vote for MASH and Dead Like Me (content warning). Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Glad you're feeling better. If you haven't already watched it, try Broadchurch. It's one of those really good shows that sucks you in and you just have to watch another and another. It's definitely bingeworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
