This is [livejournal.com profile] lizbyrd skilfully hacking Alex's laptop in order to inform you all that Alex is currently in hospital with suspected appendicitis.

More news when I have it - he's in the transit ward at the moment. Once they confirm the diagnosis they will probably schedule surgery.

Tell him chicks dig scars! I'll keep all crossables crossed for a good outcome.

Best wishes to you both.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance to either of you.

Elizabeth will be going to a wedding today, and while I have some food in the house, I have a mad craving for some Subway. Do you think you may be able to hook me up with some? :) I'll give you a call later today.

I'll be in Claremont this afternoon at around 4pm, I'm happy to pick something up for you at that point.

Let me know full details by SMS if possible, I won't be home to check email between now and then.

Oh noes! Hope he's okay. Glad he got there before it burst or something.

Oh man, hospital is horrible.

Hope everything goes as easily as possible for you both.

EEK get better soon Alex!!! Thinking of you....

[identity profile] mpfl.livejournal.com 2009-02-12 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Pfft. Harden up, man! A little bit of appendicitis never hurt anyone.

I'm more worried about how [livejournal.com profile] theducks will behave without ready access to Mac hardware...

Nasty stuff. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

If he's going to spend a few days in hospital, you'll probably want to check with the hospital staff about use of laptops. I know that the staff at SCGH wouldn't let us plug in anything that hadn't been certified by a hospital technician.

Good luck!

oh crap :( anything we can do?

[identity profile] ataxi.livejournal.com 2009-02-12 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck with whatever treatment ends up being recommended, from both of us. I'm sure it'll all be fine.

I remember appendicitis being a bit très suck, but I was 6 when it happened and apparently the procedure has come on a long way since then; it's all keyhole surgery now.

Heal fast.

[identity profile] sparklielizard.livejournal.com 2009-02-12 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh crikey! Hope the surgery goes well!

I hope he gets to the knife quicker than I did.

Also tell him when the rounds kids come around and one of them pipes up about there being a jug of water beyond his reach and making a snide remark about nil by mouth to reach DEEP and ask them 'how am I meant to reach that? and if I am not meant to get anything orally perhaps you could prescribe me some IV painkillers instead of the paracetamol and then codeine that the REAL doctors have prescribed me.'

I was too fucking tired and in pain to do anything except murmur 'fuck you kid'.

Oh wow, I hope he heals fast!
