Thanks Ken,Will,Roy. Yes I am taking my time, I am still very weak but getting stronger every day. Been out shopping and walking following instructions by the hospital..

just an update, it's almost two years since my operation, things are going well, live each day to the full. unfortunately I did have some after effects from it, ended up with one kidney and that's not working correctly, I have got stage four CKD. Because the op took longer then expected and the blood supply to the kidneys was shut for longer one stopped working. but I don't have any side effects. from it...Still very thankful for the great job they did for me, NHS were amazing...thanks to all here for your support back then.

Met John at Great Barford. Great guy. My thoughts are with him.

Wishing John a speedy recovery, my thoughts go out to his family.Have never met John in person but communicated with him many times both on here and American forum, always a pleasure to talk to.
