Hope it all goes well Rob. Better to get these things done sooner rather than later.

4 years is nothing! Apparently the previous discussion with a doctor about my possibly needing circumcision took place when I was 4, 57 years ago!

My own op has snookered plans to bus down overnight to Donington and back up the following night so I can empathise on that front too.

Best thing for a chest infection is Vick vapour rub, rubbed into your chest by a twenty something naked virgin female  :d  So looks like your stuck with the infection  ;D

Actually, forget the Vick, just stick with the twenty-something.

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Thanks Ith... :)

Actually I did the starvation bit, arrived at 07:00 and waited until 15:00 to be told I was cancelled.  :( Next appontment is 17/10/14 so a couple of weeks.

However do you believe in fate? I am looking for a job. I had to turn down an interview for this week as I couldnt predict my post-op condition. I rang the agent and Tues PM when I got home. He rang back in the evening and said can you be there Wed at noon. I did the interview and managed to impress enough for the agent to ring me this morning saying I had go the role.
;D ;D

So I am looking forward to Derby this Saturday. I'll recognize Mad Lemmy because he will be wearing a fez in flames!  :o And DP is carrying a lance and longbow.  :o

No problem, they will be easy to spot. I will be the one with a pencil up each nostril, underpants on head saying wibble!   :)

Just stumbled upon this thread and thought it may be helpful if I relate my recent experiences. In 2011, I had a stroke, brought on by high blood pressure. I was very, very lucky as it was only a small bleed. The result is that I am on two types of tablets for the rest of my life, no great shakes. Also, I have trouble sometimes pronouncing my worms. Some people say I'm just still talking bo11ocks as in my pre-stroke days. Whilst recuperating at home, I was made redundant. Not good company/employee relations when it's a stress related illness. The point is, I was home alone (wife had just flown to Spain lucky cow) and my daughter phoned. It was then that I realised something was up, because I had problems with my speach. Didn't feel too bad otherwise. My daughter ran me to A&E who checked my BP which was so high, they thought their machine had bust. Moral to this story, don't go all English chaps and think it will pass, get yourself sorted.
Then in 2013 I had to have a pacemaker fitted. Never new I had a heart problem, until I started getting what appeared to be something similar to blood rushes (feeling dizzy for a mo') to the head. Again, I went to the docs fairly sharpish. The same day I had the 24 hour monitor taken away for the results I was asked to come straight back for the pacemaker operation (which is horrible). "Are you sure you're not blacking out, only that your heart is stopping for a very, very long time". Moral to this story, don't go all English chaps and think it will pass, get yourself sorted.
One extra bonus from this, is that with various recent job losses and time off, I haven't half got a load of 10mm SYW painted.  #:-S
