Today is my 64th birthday, and I approach this milestone in my life with hope and confidence. I am hugely warmed and encouraged by the many messages of support and congratulation from my friends and family. I think some of my 'readers' have mistaken my fears at my upcoming surgery for negative thoughts. There is a distinct difference between the idea of the physical onslaught of heart and kidney surgery and the knowledge that, today these procedures are very common and usually successful. I believe I have the very best surgical team and I totally trust them with my body. I am confident that I will come out of this stronger and healthier, but I cannot avoid the fear of the unknown. I have never had to undergo major surgery and now, suddenly I am faced with not one but two operations in a short time. I am aware that both operations can be life threatening and, honestly this scares the pants off me!!!!
However I am sure that my life will be much improved after all this fuss, and I look forward to returning to the golf course, the band and my life with renewed vigour and enthusiasm.
So roll on my 65th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
