Michelle,
Please let me know where Mike is so that I can go irritate him in hospital.
My land line is 061-2701228

Thanks

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

  everyone - just to keep you all updated. I've just spoken to Mike, he was operated on at 22h00 last night. Doc reckons the appendix was perforated already. Mike says he is in a lot of pain (typical man - no pain threshold whatsoever!) and wasn't able to talk long on the phone. It sounds like he will be in hospital until Monday and we're hoping will be able to come straight home.

Sheena and Dalene - he is in the Roman Catholic hospital. Don't terrorize him too much Sheena and Dalene - don't sneak him in any biltong or droewors please!

Will let you all know again later when I speak to him again!

Thank-you for all the love, calls, thoughts, prayers and suppport, it makes a difference knowing there are people out there that care!

Hi Michelle, glad that Mike is OK and glad that they got the appendix out quickly.
In so far as the pain thresh hold that is why women give birth and not men! And he didn't have to push either.
Any way our thoughts are with him and with you, hope you get your scan today, and then you can find out if it ias a hamburger or a hot dog.....

Wonder what thoughts Sister Theresa was thinking when she had to him? Now that would have been  priceless, but I am sure he was in too much pain to worry about the habbitt she was wearing.

Any way please keep us posted, I believe Namibian Breweries are already worried about the drop in beer sales.

Hi Michele, glad to hear everything went ok and that the operation is over.  Still thinking of you the whole time.

@ Skinny - I heard it's the other towns being supplied by Nam Breweries that's worried they wont get their full orders - Mike is in Windhoek, so the beer is being intercepted before it can be sent out to the bottle stores!

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

I have my doubts about Mikes appendix,

is it now the closeness to whk breweries that he is looking for ???

Jokes aside, glad all is over and no complications, all the best Mike  rooster

[georg ruf jr.]

Yes Michele. To be honest, I'm stil worried. I'll only believe he's fine when he's back in "our family".
Please send him my regards and tell him I hope he's back soon.

[Cherry (Alcock)]

Hope recovery is speedy and pain free (that is for you Michelle! )  Seriously, get well soon Mike!

[Rhona]

Delighted to hear all went well

Look after yourself Michele - thinking of you

You'll all be glad to know that Mike is sounding a lot better - I just got an sms from him - "friggin chicken soup for the 3rd time today - I'm fading away here!"

He hadn't seen the doctor yet today so we're still not too sure when he can come home! 

I read him everybody's posts and he had a good laugh and says thank-you to all of you. He's wishing he had his laptop and 3G with him so that he could log on but it was just too much of a risk to take it with.

Will let you all know tomorrow how he is doing!



After reading Cherry's post I'm glad this happened now and not next year after baby was born as then I'd have two kids and two babies on my hands!

Glad to hear  all bearing up there ... just remind Mike  that Chicken soup is good  for  him  !!  its not called jewish pennicillin for nothing ... My Mom and da  would make  nice  chicken lemon  and rice soup with lots of the good  veg in it  whenever we were ill .. the purpose of the lemon was to help extract some of the calcium from the  bones .. and no he will not  fade away .. chicken soup is  full of nutrition  ..  sure  his Mom made it too  when they were ill ??  scots people are of the waste not  want not  lot  .. so a good leftover carcass from the roast  was ideal for the soup ...

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

Unfortunately soup does not rate very highly on Mike's list of foods - he doesn't consider it a meal, no matter how thick it is or what it has in it. Hopefully he will soon see the benefits of it.

On the positive side at least I won't have to put up with the smell of braaimeat or steak in the house this week-end!  The poor braai is going to wonder what's happened - it's week-end, why is nobody using me? Stennie - perhaps you'd better come around and light the fire!  I'm sure there are still a couple of beers left from Wed as well!
