I think I lost a year from my life when I saw the headline!  Alexei had been taken to a hospital in Krasnodar and has had his appendix removed - the physicians have not indicated a date when Alexei will be released from the hospital.

FIGURE SKATER ALEXEI YAGUDIN APPENDIX REMOVED IN KRASNODAR

Krasnodar-March 8.  Figure Skater, Olympic Champion Alexei Yagudin underwent an appendix operation in Krasnodar. He had been appearing in the "Ice Age" show produced by Ilya Averbukh.
Doctors at Skoroy hospital conducted the medical care.  According to the agency "Interfax South" the operation was carried out on Saturday night.
That night Alexei Yagudin was brought to the hospital where the appendix operation was performed.  His condition is stable at the moment.  He is in a separate room.
The doctor added that a date of release from the hospital has not been established.

I have to say that for me personally this week has been emotionally and physically draining and now this about Alexei -

Just read this on another site (sorry, I do occasionally dip into others!!).

Oh My,  I do hope he is OK and takes the time to recover.  Although top athletes are very fit this can almost work against them because to do their job they have to be in peak conditioning.  I would image most figure skating moves - jumps, spins, twists and turns - would create problems for someone with a healing surgical wound in their abdomen.

Maybe this has been the cause of his pain.  He'll be nothing but scar tissue around there if he isn't careful.

I hope he takes a little time, goes home and rests.  I'm not a betting person, but I can see him trying to return almost immediately.  I hope the tour has doctors on hand that refuse to let him back.  I know this may seem harsh but it would be for the good in the long term.

He's strong and determined so I'm sure he'll bounce back and be back enjoying himself and delighting us all soon.

WOW!!!! Well, this is certainly a stunner! I've been out of the loop for the last 24 hours due to blizzard conditions in my area of the US, and so haven't been online at all.

Appendix surgery will certainly slow him down some.Surprised I'm just glad that the tour was in an area which had the facilities to handle that kind of surgical procedure; there are probably areas in outlying parts of Russia that would be hard pressed to have the proper facilities. Hopefully he will follow the doctors' orders and not think that he can get out on the ice to do anything, let alone jumps. Let me amend that, lol, I hope and pray he follows doctors' orders, LOL.

Again? I have to admit, I wanted him to skate and compete again although he fell in Germany but he won't for sure... Can't wait for YouTube video. Heard he would stay in hospital for weeks.

I hope they performed an appendectomy prior to the appendix bursting.  The amount of time required for convalescence  should depend upon that. One can recover very quickly if the appendicitis is caught in a sufficiently  early stage, as mine was.  The news was startling, but with good medical care, he should be fine before long.  Let's pray for that.

The news is now posted at both FSU and Goldenskate, as well as at AYDG. 

Andrushka put a thread at FSU, and I started one at Goldenskate just now.  I wish I had thought to check the "News" icon, but I was scarcely aware of the option when I was making the thread.  I hope we get more news soon, about whether his appendix had burst prior to the surgery, and what his condition is now.  When an appendix bursts, it can lead to infection of the peritoneal cavity, and that can be quite serious, so, please keep on praying for him, guys.

I'm trying to obtain any information available other than the original interfax article but there does not seem to be anything further from Russian news sources.  In most cases online news does not get posted during the weekends.  The Russian bulletin boards have a few people who attended the March 7th show in Krasnodar and it appears that after Alexei performed Overcome and an  encore performance of Winter he was taken to the hospital directly thereafter.    During the March 8th show, still in  Krasnodar,   Ilya  told the audience what had happened and after astonished gasps from the crowd everyone began to clap in support of Alexei......

Until we can get confirmation on whether or not Alexei's appendix burst, I think we should assume that it didn't and the surgery went well with everything being under control. I did research on what medical facilites are available in Krasnodar and discovered that there is a huge regional medical center based there for the entire area. Sochi is not far from there, as well. The city, itself, has a population of 800,000, (it's the 18th largest city in Russia)  and from that I would think any large hospital would be well staffed with highly competent doctors. Given that information, I think he'd in the best hands, comparable to Moscow.

What we must hope is that some kind-hearted soul ties him to his hospital bed to prevent him from even thinking about returning to the ice before he's completely healed in 6 weeks or so, LOL.
