Medical professionals reckon it's normally 2-4 weeks if the appendix is removed by keyhole surgery.

I'd say it'll be closer to 4 weeks because their medical estimate is retuning to normal work, not running up & down a football pitch for 90 minutes, having the shit kicked out of you...

I suppose the flip side is he's in better shape prior to the operation than most so should heal more quickly, but I think it's safe to say he's not going to be back until late April. Hopefully targeting the Arsenal game. It's a huge loss for us, his movement off the ball is unmatched by our other wide players and he's been bang in form again. Such a big run of games coming up and we'll really miss him.

It's the way the cookie crumbles...

If it was going to happen at all, the end of the season would have been the time. Ah well, it's why we have squads in football... \0/

I remember about 30 years ago the tennis player Pat Cash had the op and was back playing within about 2 weeks.
So, fingers crossed for Phil.

Apparently he was on an exercise bike and doing sit-ups the day after the op, and he played an exhibition match 2 days later. He was at Wimbledon 20 days post-op and reached the Quarter Finals (20 days for Phil is the day of the Leicester match).

He's also quoted, saying it was a burst appendix, and this was when the surgery was fairly new, so fingers crossed Phil won't miss too many matches.

When I was at university 10 years ago we were taught it was probably to do with gut bacteria but so far unproven.


That’s the beautiful thing about medicine though, 30 years ago people thought stress and lifestyle caused stomach ulcers and then Barry Marshall drank a beaker full of H. pylori to prove his idea it was bacteria and now everyone knows stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria not stress and the same bacteria leads to 95% of stomach cancer.

I also remember, at that time, it was said you could only have the Helicobacter Pylori treatment once, as it was virtually ineffective after that, which didn’t turn out to be the case at all, but still, I raise a glass to Marshall and Warren occasionally as they helped sort out a real shit time of my life because of them.
