End of the road...(almost)


After days and weeks of anticipation, questioning, fear, wondering and concern I am almost at journey's end. On Wednesday I enter Hammersmith Hospital, and on Thursday I will have my long-awaited surgery. I will be handing myself over to the professional cardiac team and have every confidence in their superb skills. My only prayer is that all will go well and that on Friday I can start looking forward to the rest of my life. It's as though I've been the leading actor in a typically miserable soap, and that my bosses have finally decided that I've outlived my usefulness and will be axed! But that is, in my view a really positive situation, and my new role will be happier, more positive and forward-looking. In my 'new' life there will be golf, music and hopefully lots of fun. AND I hope you will all be there with me enjoying every moment.
I haven't forgotten that I will need more surgery later in the year when it is time for my transplant, but somehow it seems a lot less daunting than this lot!!
This will probably be my last blog before surgery, but I hope to back 'with you' early next week when I can get in front of a computer.
Wish me well!!!!!!
