That was quick, TTIWWP

[Geoff Stilwell]

Glad your through the worse part. Get well soon.

[Pet Troll]

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it all hurts really badly at the moment but despite that the surgeon cand spoke to me this morning and said she will be sending me home on weds! They must need these beds pretty urgently!

A pic to amuse yourselves, as of yesterday i have been dressed ib prison clothes!

[Davel]

Ugly aren't you?

[boobles]

All you need is a zip to go with that.

It's more to do with cutting the risk of infection plus you're better off at home. Neat scar though.

[RDMcG]

Very good news indeed!..best of luck for a quick recovery.

[Davel]

That's just a scratch that is!

Glad you're on the mend...

[lordgrover]

Can't you get them to do a nice jagged scar, claim it's a nip from a great white?

Best of luck for a speedy recovery. Cheers.

[Raverbaby]

Glad your on the road to recovery! All the best

[VinceFox]

At least you know not to buy any orange clothes now.

[russ_a]

Don't sneeze!!

Best wishes by the way!!

And in a few years, when a young filly is running her fingers over the scar, wondering what happened, you can recount the tale of 'remember those urban myth stories about some chap waking up in a bath of ice in some hotel in Thailand, minus a kidney? Well it's true!' you can say. Even better you can say 'the buggers took my heart too!'

[Chilli]

Good news PT, glad you're on the mend. Apart from being sore, how do you feel? Relieved no doubt, but any different feelings from within?!

Good luck mate.

Christ this puts my moaping around with the flu for the past week in perspective. I should man up and get back to work.

Good to see your on the way home!

[joncon]

any update PT, are you home ?

[Pet Troll]

Yes I am back home, well staying with my Gran for a few months as I'm not allowed to be by myself until the sternum has healed.

Feeling very painful all over and keep blacking/greying out, not nice at all. Still atleast I managed to et something today, first time in over a week so I must be improving a little!

It was my birthday on tuesday which was a bit crap as I kept throwing up and felt very light headed all day, but glad to be home in the cotswolds, at least its very peaceful here

[Hoofy]

What a birthday! Still, it'll mean you have plenty more of them!

[LordGrover]

Cotswolds you say... maybe a run up the A46 or Fosse Way is in order when you're feeling more yourself? Something to look forward to, eh?

Just read this thread, and the other you posted in June. Good to hear your on the mend. I can't imagine what it must've been like going throught what you have at your age.

I'm fortunate in that I've never had an op. Until I read details of your op, i'd never even thought what it would be like and seeing your scar brings it home a bit.

I have a mate who has had a few heart ops. I think he was born with a hole, so had an op on that and he too has a massive scar down his chest.

After reading your thread from June, I don't think I saw what happened when you were younger or what your 'underlying condition' was...

Get well soon fella.
