Came back from pre-admission interview at Bendigo Base today. Operation scheduled for 9am on Wednesday 25th Feb. Will be 3 hours long and in hospital for 7-10 days. Recuperation will be 4-6 weeks. The interns were impressed with my level of fitness and said they wished all their patients were as healthy before having surgery. This made Marg and I feel more confident about the op. I feel in the same space I was in last April just before my big 100km walk with Oxfam - full of anticipation and uncertainty. Wouldn't mind swapping surgery for the walk though!
If you choose to leave your name with a message can you identify yourself more fully so I know who you are.
Thanks for everyones encouragement, prayers and good wishes.
