Morning Ian, thank you and thank you guys for your support, much appreciated. In December, when I met with the surgeon in Bristol (NHS) he said if his patients have too many problems, he takes them off his list and lets nature takes its course.
I suspect his thinking was more to do with being compassionate and kind, in not putting a sick/elderly person with multiple health issues through the trauma and pain of having major surgery.
In light of his comments, I decided not to say too much and as a back up I decided to go private, as I wasn't ready to throw in the towel.
One of Jessica's friends has said we can have the use of her flat in Baker Street which she lets out on AirBnB. Its currently vacant as it is having a new kitchen and bathroom fitted, but if we need it post op, we can have it for as long as we need and it has its own underground parking space. Of course we will pay her for the use of the flat.
The surgeon in North London has told me to keep active and to get more fit.
The weather here today in Bristol is miserable with wind and rain, can't go out side exercising. As we live on the 4th floor and no lift, I am up and down its 64 steps, 8 flights of stairs - making the heart and lungs work harder. I have to be sensible in not overdoing it.
How are you?
