johnb Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thank you everyone for your interest and support. My operation took place this morning and lasted two hours. There were no complications apart from my lungs being reluctant to breathe in deeply enough when asleep. I am now back in the ward. If all continues to go well one of our sons will collect me from hospital Friday afternoon so I can be at the wedding Saturday. Thanks again one and all. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnb Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Just an update. Managed to leave hospital 4.30 Friday afternoon. Travelled home to essex. Attended wedding in south London Saturday (was all day event more or less). Tried to upstage bride and groom by being in wheelchair-must be at the front/first/everyone move out of the way I've only just got this thing, think I came close 3rd. Anyway home last night and good nights sleep, I would say there is still no pain, just a little discomfort every now and again so that's great. Had promised myself a visit to the Yarmouth maritime festival next weekend as we had never been able to go before, then there's Independance needing a hand, but I guess it will be a normal weekend at home helping my wife by supervising her work and making her more efficient. 6 weeks non load bearing on left leg is going to do our marriage so much good! Thanks for all the good wishes we had a great day yesterday. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The Maritime Festival is long, thin and crowded being along the quay, not a place to be this year for you even if you were in your chair. There is always next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So glad to hear that all went well and you made it to the wedding. Now time to recuperate. And many thanks for the reminder about the Maritime Festival as we are expecting to be in the area so might get along. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
