Follow up: a year later, a Mr. [ ] with a very sharp cut-throat, did remove an organ that appears to have had no modern function and it was malfunctioning, and if left in to rot; would poison the whole stomach; so he left my lower right stomach with a nice scar[e]: 4" by 1/4" with marks left by the twine used to keep the slit to-gether [ like marks left by oarsman on the Tems:] So! It is a tough call, Pain it be a warning of some kind.
