Well, that was a bit of an experience!

[gvee]

As some of you might already know: I was diagnosed with some heart problems around 6 months ago.

It's not been fun, to say the least. I've not been allowed to drive, had to avoid any heavy lifting, avoid exertion including my sporting passions of football and skateboarding. Even Lily, my bus, has been neglected more than ever because of this.

But yesterday I went in for some surgery and have been released back home to rest up. I wrote about some of the experience on my blog: Hi Honey, I'm home!.

I'm not fully out of the woods yet, but in a weeks time I should be able to go back to a pretty normal life again. Chuffed is an understatement

I may not know you personally, George, but I am chuffed for you, mate.

It will soon be summer when you can get behind the wheel of your bus again. Happy days ahead.

Got to fit a steering wheel and a whole lot else yet, but I can't wait! Thank you for the kind words

I have every intention of getting myself down for some cider at VanWest again! Although that batch you picked me up last time was rough as. Might have to wuss out and get something store bought

Hey Shaun, it was at Bristol Volksfest, wasn't it? My bus made that show two years ago, so fingers crossed she'll be taking me back again in the summer.


Thank you all for the support

Thanks everyone

Walking a lot less like John Wayne with every passing day! Doctors said I will be back driving in a few more days - I can't wait. Fed up of how cold the walk to and from the train to the office is! :roll:

I guess the bad news is that I'm not fully out of the woods yet - but I do get to have most of the things I love back. So, new year, "fixed" ticker, no excuses. Lily will be MOT'd this year!

Glad you got the surgery done and wish you all the best

nice to hear you are on the mend dude. I have complete heart block controlled by a pacemaker apart from not being able to play contact sports It doesn't affect my life at all.

Hopefully you will be back to normal in no time at all
