Of course it was successful. Craig Adams is a Harvard grad. He probably did the surgery himself.

If anything surprised me it was the 4 week rehab. I feel like some hockey players have missed less than a week. But I’ve not had my appendix removed, so I don’t really know how you feel. 4 weeks seemed kinda extreme, but if he’s not going to miss any camp, it’s no big deal.

maybe it’s 4 weeks only in the offseason…something like normal-person-recovery-time… and during the season – 1 week should do!
You have to see it for yourself...
Yeah, I guess you’re right. Adams’ body is so smart it knew to rid itself of the appendix before the upcoming season.
