...and I'm not joking! Came out of the Christmas festivities, straight into major surgery.. So, here I am, minus various bits of my internal anatomy, and more importantly, minus the cancer
My marvellous surgeon tells me the surgery went better than he anticipated, and it won't be too long before I'm back to travelling and researching all those little untold stories that exist in our towns, villages and churches. In the meanwhile, I've promised that I won't try to push things along too quickly and will take my time getting back on the bikes - poor things must think their petrol lines have been cut!
In the meanwhile, I've done lots of reading and research, so pray for good weather and the price of petrol not going up too much!
My most heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the East Kent Hospitals University Trust, Especially those at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, and Birchington Ward at the QEQM in Margate.
My deepest thanks and love to the Macmillan nurses who keep an eye on me, Dr. Justin Waters and his team and the Very Important Mr. Andy Nordin and his team, who showed me that laughing with an abdomen full of stitches really does hurt!! :D
