Hi all,

Not been on here for ages. Sorry about that :oops:

Having been told that stents were not the answer to my blocked arteries because of the amount of blockage, I was sent for a chat ( after 6 weeks ) with a surgeon at St. Thomas's in London regarding a bypass operation.

He informed me that I had too many blockages for a bypass to work, so thought that I would end up with increased medication.

Anyway, after another of their meetings, the top man in the stent department at St. Thomas's called me up there for a chat last week.

He reckons that with his expertise, and three of the new super duper dis-solvable stents, I'll be digging into my manure pile in no time :)

So, I'm off to St. Thomas's tomorrow morning and will have the op on Thursday. Should be home Friday :D

I must admit that I'm getting a little bit nervous.

Wish me luck :D
Cheers PJ.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long...........

Morning all,

Thanks for the good wishes :D

I'm off to get the train shortly. Good job it wasn't yesterday I suppose.

Considering how little energy I've had these last few months, I've had a pretty good crop from most things.
Mind you, I've had a fair amount of help :D
Cheers PJ.

I sincerely hope it's not good luck you need with all that skill to pick and choose from, you have my best wishes for a successful surgery.

This far west much and many of the NHS services are 15 years behind and though we do get a few decent surgeons i'll hazard a guess that ours are 'Journeymen' compared to who's doing the work on you.

Have a manly huggy.
