Mike's appendix

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

  Just to let you all know that Mike is going to be medically evacuated to Windhoek this afternoon with acute appendicitis. He was sick all night last night with fever, cramps and stomach ache and diagnosed himself. He went to the hospital this morning and due to the fact that there are only 3 doctors here and they are concerned about the anaesthetic and his weight they have chosen to fly him out to Windhoek so that they can operate there.

So perhaps it wasn't the food at CTFM after all!

Let me run so that I can go and pack his bag for him. We were hoping that he would be flown down to Panorama but the medical aid is kicking up a fuss about cross-border something or other!

Holding  thumbs for you both ... and a speedy recovery for Mike .. most appendix work today is keyhole surgery  so  pain and recovery time  is  greatly  reduced  ...

[Patricia Lotte]

Get well soon Mike ... 

[georg ruf jr.]

Yep Mike. Hope the next news about you are positive. Get well soon.

[Bertie Horak]

Damn, if he was flown to CT I could have sneaked in to take a video of the procedure and posted it on the forum!

Good luck Mike, thinking of you!  Hope you're up and about soon.  Like Sandy said, nowadays it's usually minor surgery compared to older times. Hope they get him on the table soon!

Yes Michele, could well have been chronic appendicitis and not the food, and he was complaining about the humidity - it could well have been a bit of fever in stead!  Glad you didn't have problems on the long road back home!
