Injury Sloane appendicitis

[Slippery Pete]

Remember the theory that was kicking around after Phil died that we were watching an ESPN movie unfold in real time? The one that started with Phil and ended with Tex hoisting the cup?

We've got to be in the final act of that film now. Surely. The script always has hope seemingly lost before the miracle ending - so whatever happens, we are still going to win that flag.

Unless the real world is not like the movies. But it is. So there.

True, there's always one last obstacle between the bakery and the safe delivery of the marble rye.

Does anyone know if Eddie Betts had an Open Appendectomy or Laparoscopic Appendectomy,
I heard 3rd/4th hand it was Open Appendectomy,
And will/is/has Rory Sloane undergoing a Laparoscopic Appendectomy


Open appendectomy, a surgeon makes one incision in the lower right side of your abdomen. Your appendix is removed and the wound is closed with stiches. This procedure allows your doctor to clean the abdominal cavity if your appendix has burst

Laparoscopic appendectomy, a surgeon accesses the appendix through a few small incisions in your abdomen. A small, narrow tube called a cannula will then be inserted. The cannula is used to inflate your abdomen with carbon dioxide gas. This gas allows the surgeon to see your appendix more clearly

Laparoscopic appendectomy generally has a shorter recovery time.

I had to have a hernia repaired by open methods. It hurt for a week and a half and, to me at least, seemed to be at risk of reopening for nearly three weeks. The docs said if I'd have had keyhole I would've been right in a few days. I think when its open, the length of the cut matters a fair bit, mine was (for reasons I still can't work out since the hernia was only tiny) several centimeters in length, if it were only 3 or 4 it would've been a fair bit quicker recovery I reckon.

I think he will play. Rowey had the same operation on a Monday and played on Saturday and Sloaney is without a doubt one of the toughest players I have ever seen.

I understand that this is a common problem, but is it more prevalent in AFL footballers due to their diet and the stress they are putting their bodies through? I remember Jimmy Bartel had his burst before a GF one year and played ... didn't he? Was it the year he won the Brownlow?

 

[Infra Ted]

We're all fooked

 

[Jaeger]

What's the usual recovery time for this type of thing or is everyone different?

 

[Redleg Crow]

Did this club sell Babe Ruth to the Yankees ??? Cripes we are cursed!

If it's a movie we beat Geelong in the GF.

What does the crows training schedule look like from now until game day being a Thurs night?

Would their main session next week be Monday or Tues? You would think Rory would have to train well and hard on Tuesday and pull up well for another light run next Wednesday? surely being a big final he has to play....

 

[Slippery Pete]

This thread with everyone reliving their medical procedures

Normal people - burst apendix = 1 month+, appendicitus (not burst) = ? (less)
AFL players seems to be half that based on Eddie earlier this year
It'll be touch and go if it didn't burst, no chance if it did

 

[Carmo]

Is there a way to induce appendicitis?

Where are you going with this?

If you are going down the is the club doing something (some supplement or other thing) that causes the problem, well I am wondering also. Seems mighty improbable to have two players randomly succumb to appendix issues in one season to me.

I believe it was. But he missed the final two games of the year because of it IIRC

I think we'll name him and he'll have a fitness test that morning. Regardless of whether he trains

This is so ****ed!! Like why does the shit keep happening to us??

Just did some research into laparoscopic appendectomy recovery times.
A journal article Interventions to optimize recovery after laparoscopic appendectomy: a scoping review from 2017 states:

Appendicitis affects one in seven individuals at some point during their lifetime, and usually in late childhood or early adulthood. The laparoscopic approach to appendectomy was first described in the 1980. Laparoscopic appendectomy has replaced the open approach at many centres after showing reduced hospital stay and wound complications. Although minimally invasive, laparoscopic appendectomy still causes considerable postoperative pain. Patients may rest 1–2 days in hospital, 3–7 days after perforated or complicated appendicitis, and lose 1–3 weeks’ work or school.

 

[Redleg Crow]

He'll play.

 

[dracochapel]

In the off season they should take out all the appendices.

So if its on the extreme minor end and recovery goes to plan, he could play.

 

[Deaneus!]

where's this guy when we need him?

 

[Niximus]

Is it 2005 though?

Crows win minor premiership - star Crow comes down with unlikely illness shortly before a home qualifying final, a loss to likely result in a home semi against a Port team just off an EF win.

Doesn't say the recovery time for a gutsy in and under midfielder playing AFL about to play a brutal Qualifying final 9 days after the op...

05 was the suspension, 06 was the Parvo virus crap

I reckon that he will be good to go. The bloke is superman.

But really, did we build our office on a cemetery?
