Not a joke. You can ask Wolfala to tell it in correct spelled words. I already told him all of the story.

He went in to have an appendictemy. From what I understand, it was completed but complications arose post-op with what Estel told you. He's expected to stay in the hospital for 10-14 days - but the prognosis is good. Keep'm in yr prayers.

Good luck and best wishes on your recovery Boroda.

I hear that in Soviet Russia, appendix has YOU removed!
-
Damn, if you see him tell I wish him good health soon.
-
Best wishes for him.
I guess he went to the hospital too late and his appendix ruptured?

Sorry, Mora, but I am a male and don't have fallopian tubes :)
Thank you, gentlemen! I was really touched when Estel brought me a print of this thread!... Helped me to recover faster...
Only I could have a gangrenous peritonitis developed in 12 hours since first little stomach ache...
Ambulance came only 1 hour 45 minutes after I called 03. It was a Saturday night, I wonder how long it takes on weekdays with Moscow traffic jams. But it seems that only I was so lucky (as usual), my hospital mates said that even on weekdays ambulance usually comes in no more then 30-40 minutes.
Surgeon who operated me literally saved my sour life. She said that she will see my operation in her nightmares. After general anaesthetic I started to strangle, and that failed to intubate me - I have a wrong throat shape :) So they waked me up, made me breath again and used spinal injections. I had a rare experience to feel how they pull my guts out :D Triple portion of muscle relaxant didn't work on me. Under my beer belly surgeon found abdominal muscles that were so thick that it took her 10-15 minutes to cut through them. I never thought that I have any abdominal muscles, ;) but what she discovered is probably a result of my mountain hiking experience... 10 years of carrying 40kg backpacks all over the Union, and, as usual, everything I do is no good for me :D
Hosptal was surprisingly good, like in Soviet times, doctors and nurces were attractive and nice, my room-mates were very friendly and interesting people, even food was quite fine, so I stayed in hospital for extra three days :) The only problem was that they didn't have all nessesary modern antibiotics and pain-killers (only in reanimation department they have everything), but Estel and other friends brought me everything I needed in the morning after the operation. It's great to have such friends!
Situation in Russian health-care is artificially complicated by our new-fangled "medical insurance". Government still pays for healthcare, but now the money go through "insurance companies" that make huge profits, in other words - this parasites steal money we need for medical care. My doctor was happy when I said that I didn't get a "medical insurance" card, it meant that I'll not go claim money for the medicines my friends bought from insurance company and she'll not have any problems. Bloody bastards could take the money from her salary :mad: Doctors can't even recommend any medicines they used in a hospital for post-hospital medical cure, insurance companies don't accept anything more expencive then aspirine :mad:
Anyway, I was lucky enough to survive, thanks to my surgeon, and had two weeks of good time in a hospital :) Now I am almost as good as new, only the wound itches a little, so I am ready to keep waving the Red Banner here again ;)
Again, many thanks to you, guys! You really helped me to recover!

Boroda, I didn't know you were sick, until I read this today. Very glad to hear you're recovering. Although it sounds like a harrowing experience. Good to see you back on the boards again.

I think that Western people visiting Moscow have health insurance, I mean real insurance, and in case of trouble will get to best Moscow clinics, 4th Administration of Health Ministry, "Kremlin hospitals". I think the only thing that is not availible there will be heart transplantation, but I am not sure, first heart transplantation in USSR was performed in mid-80s.

Good luck! I had two guys in my room who had such an operation, one was done with a big cut, and another with very small puncture, he was walking on the same day. One old man (77 years old) there had his gallbladder cut 30 years ago and doesn't have any problems. My Father had such an operation in 1993, he's 78 now, he eats everything and drinks alcohol as he did before, so this operation isn't a big loss as many people think. At least it's better to have it planned then in an emergency...
BTW, I think my operation went good, at least I am alive and I had some experience to remember ;) At least it's good to remember it after it's over. What doesn't kill you - makes you stronger. My luck with surgery and medical care is very funny. Every time I apply for medical help it turns to some mixture of comedy and horror story :D

LOL! I am allergic to penicillin, one injection may kill me. BTW, modern antibiotics are great, I didn't have any trace of post-op inflammation, and they are quite cheap. Maybe the stuff you have in the West is even better, but I am satisfied with what they gave me here, at least they didn't forbid me to drink. ;) I only can't drink beer, and it's really good, I lost 10kg in the hospital and keep losing weight. Now I use my pocket flask with vodka instead of beer. You know, vodka is a diet drink ;)
