Hi!
Good news: it's not appendicitis, rather a nasty viral infection of the abdominal glands with symptoms much like appendicitis. Stefan improved markedly this afternoon and the surgeon kicked him out. I think it was when he was spotted using a tatty old teddy bear as an ad-hoc football in the corridor that the decision may have been taken ;-)
Like I said... ;-) Three times and still my appendix (?) is inside my belly ;-).
Boris
