Silver Lining

Hi all, Wow what a day I have had, well they cancelled my operation again for the second time, as the surgeon would not do me as I am so young, well 54...and I was handed over to the most senior surgeon here in Blackpool, for an operation on 12the August, so I was going back to work, and, called them to arrange that, even though I had said to them that I am in so much pain that I just cannot do it, toughie old me, still went back on my words...My wife took the news quite badly as she is hating to see me in so much pain every day and suffering like I am, and she was a little sharp with the listings lady, as she took the phone from me.

Then just 45mins later the hospital on the phone again, yes Ian we will get you onto the surgeons list who did the first one, and that is this Friday, 30th July.

I will only believe it will be done when I wake up and it is done.

My right leg is in fine shape, and the muscle tone has returned to what it was ten years ago and my left leg is getting smaller and smaller by the day, at least I can now sleep on my right operated side, so by leaving it that week, the operation to come has really fallen into my lap, as I have a more convenient time to get to the hospital, now 11am instead of 7.15 am and I have the same surgeon doing the other side, so, I guess every cloud can have a silver lining, if we just give things a chance, and go with the flow.

Here are a few more of my favourite pics hope you like them, the park Pano is a stitch of 6 shots and shot early in the morning, it was just so lucky that there are no people in the shot as the park is always full of people, rare and so lucky to catch Stanley Park like that.

Thanks for looking in on my posting again, I will be here again later today I am sure and will be home after the second operation probably Monday or Tuesday next week.

Kindest regards to you all.  Ian.
