Unfortunately John has burst his appendix recently (Unbeknownst to him) and was admitted to hospital a couple of days ago, he has had IT and a part of his bowel removed so here's wishing you a very Speedy recovery mate, I was sooo looking forward to our WRT route but we will have to wait for the next one instead hopefully everyone will send him some Love

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

You'll be back to it in no time though, rest up!

Cheers mate, I'm stuck in hospital until Sunday the surgeon said part of my bowel which they cut out had gone gangrene because of the stuff from the appendix burst near it some time back.
So key hole surgery turned into a nice big cut.

1st thing I knew as a stomach pains at 10pm on Tuesday.
I've just pm'ed Stuart my WRT bail excuse

See you at Bearstock

Blimey that's awful! Hope you bounce back quickly John xx

Oh dear, hope you mend soon.

The lengths bikepackers are going to these days to save weight...

Get well soon!

Ouch! Hope yours feeling I know john and they are giving you the good pain meds.

Heal quick

Look, if you don't want to ride the WRT just say so, this seems a bit extreme

I hope there's a drug that suppresses the competitive streak . . . . . Poor lad is going to struggle if there are prizes out there for the taking and he is confined to bed . . . . .

I've already set my PB on the Ward 1 corridor shuffle

I think it was the thought of being stuck out in the middle of nowhere listening to Me for 3 days that made it explode Stu

I've hope you've actually set that as a strava segment!

Get well soon Mr Climber.

Sounds unpleasant... Heal fast....

Si

Ouch! Didn't realise it was that serious when you mentioned it before Get well soon John.

Dave

Hope your back on your bike soon .

Forget the op, here's hoping you've got someone on resupply duty so you can avoid the hospital "food"...

Cripes... get well soon John - seems you've found another way to go 'tubeless'

And finally from me

If you can be bothered reading, and as there is nothing on hospital TV I did a little blog with photos

Burst appendix, blimey
I guess you're running "tubeless" now, eh?

GWS John!

Weight savings dude.

Hope you heal well.

Get well soon JC .. that's quite an incision / scar. Not sure I want to know where it was made now I've seen it, very briefly

Get well soon John.

If we ever meet in person I challenge you to a "who has the biggest appendix scar" contest!

Blimey, sounds blooming painful! Hope you mend up soon
