Hello you lot, this is my first venture back on to the computer and short though it will be I will take this opportunity to to thank you all for your kind wishes which Scott printed out and brought to the hospital for me to read, nice boost that believe me.
I have had a roller coaster ride since the operation and even now I'm still on it, just when I think I'm making progress along comes something and knocks me back again. The latest setback is that I have developed an abcess in the in the wound (15 inches long would you believe) that is constantly oozing fluids. The frightening possibility was that it was an MRSA infection but thankfully I found out yesterday it wasn't and am now on antibiotics which should clear it up eventually.
For those of you that are interested this is what the operation was for. A dangerous operation at the best of times but made moreso because of my heart problems. Anyway once I get over these setbacks then at least I will have the worry of it bursting behind me and I can get back to some normality in my life again. Thanks again chaps for all your good wishes as you can see, they worked.
