    Time to reset the ticker! Just in time for the new year, and the new world awaiting us in 2021.

    Sorry you have to go through all this, but you did warn me... and I know you are as tough as they are anywhere. So be strong, and get home to your wife as fast as possible.

    We'll post some funnies for you every day :)

    Site was down for a while but back now. 2:15 am here now, so you're going to the hospital soon.
    Best of luck, Brother.
    Keep the faith.

    On my IPad now in hospital so a bit more difficult to post, but will do my best!

    :) WOW People.
    I am rather overwhelmed and chuffed about the amount of support and good wishes I have had off all you lovely people here on HIP forums.
    Gob smacked even!:)

    So now here in the U.K. at 10.25pm the latest with me is this...

    Got up 6.00am.
    Taxi/Ambulance came for me at 7.00am
    Arrived at hospital 8.45am.
    In my own room by 9.15am and this is practically a home from ruddy home!
    Photos just took are below.
    Lovely sexy nurses have taken COVID-19 swabs and bloods and blood pressure and weight and height.
    Lady just been in to take my food order and I am having soup with a roll for starters, cottage pie and chips and veg for dinner and trifle and custard for desert.
    All around 12.00pm.
    Cant be bad.

    So I have my IPads with me which give me Sky TV and Netflix and Amazon Prime and BT Sport and so I can communicate with all you lovely people from far and wide.
    Isn’t technology wonderful ! :)

    Bye for now, but of course I will be looking at the threads and post when I can.

    Best Regards to everybody. :hearteyes:

    I had my aortic valve and part of the aorta replaced November 15 2019. Recovery was slow for me but now I feel so much better. Best wishes for a safe and speedy recovery.

    Ooohhhhh Hey Blue.
    One of my nurses has just been in asking questions and doing Ecco Cardiogram and stuff, and ain’t she nice.
    The way things are going here I may not want to go home! :p
    I asked her if I could take a picture and she said ‘Of course you can Kenny! :)
    Eat your heart out guys! :tonguewink::laughing:

    Thank you very much for your post Spec.:)
    Actually 6 years ago I was rushed to hospital because of a dissecting aorta and failing aorticvalve.
    That was an 11 hour operation, and like you recovery was quite slow.
    So I do have an idea of what to expect here.

    Since that operation I have led life to the full with loads of holidays and walking and dancing and socialising.
    My time is always full and I am never bored at all.

    This time i am back in hospital because my Mitral Heart Valve is severely regurgitating and will lead to my heart being enlarged and heart failure if left untreated..
    There is already some enlargement.

    So this operation is future preventory care really.

    That sounds awfully serious, Boozer. I understand that they're very good at these sorts of things though. I wish you a speedy recovery! :)

    Thank you soul.
    Looking online for info the surgeon doing my operation is one of the leading heart surgeons in the U.K.
    So obviously I am in very good hands.:)

    What a great room! Nice view, nice nurse!

    Have a great day and heal swiftly, there's a lot of booze to drink and fun to be had when you get better :)

    It's nice being spoiled once in a while, ain't it?

    Wishing you all the very best Boozy.

    I love your hospital room, I have stayed in far worse hotel rooms than that!

    Stay strong.
