See if you can persuade surgeon or anaesthetist to take some pics during the op for some 'unusual engine bay pics'

Wish I'd thought of that when my fistula was being superficialised!

Best of luck buddy; but don't worry, they won't let you die on the table, too much paperwork! 

Thanks, Pete. 

 

Funny you say that as I was saying the very same thing to Zee last night, but thought it was a bit sadistic 🤷‍♂️ 
 

I was also gonna ask if I could take the FUBAR’d valve home 😛 

 

I was initially terrified of this surgery as they’re is a ~30% chance of them not being able to wake me up, but then my surgeon said that he has done as many as 7 OHS on the same, much older and unfit patient and given what he could see I shouldn’t worry at all. Very reassuring! 

 

 

Good luck jars ,am rooting for you feller hope all goes 100% well for you ,am sure it will 👍

As long as they don't tell you that having an issue is "a million to one shot", because we all know those happen seven times out of ten!  

All the best, buddy  I'm sure you'll be back to cheeking the nurses in no time 😁

Thinking of you this morning matey.

🙂

Well I popped in just to see what's going on with your Fabia vRS only to come across the last two pages! 

 

It's 9:45am on the 6th as I'm reading this, so I guess there might be a short delay in any updates 🙄

 

All the best Jars - see you on the other side.  Even though I don't know you, my thoughts are with you 

 

Gaz

As the other two guys have said, my thoughts are with you, even if I'm quite a few hundred miles away.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'red dotted'.  

 

Unless it's directions for the surgeon - heart under here somewhere.... 😁

Thinking of you this evening.

As you can tell, I’m now out the other side  

 

The operation didn’t exactly go to plan as I’ve woken up ticking like a clock because I now have a mechanical valve. Not ideal, but I’m alive!

 

A couple of issues to work through, but so far so good. 

 

Gonna mean I have to give up football and snowboarding and be very mindful where I put my body. 
 

Still in ICU but only because there are no beds in the high dependency ward. When they told me this it was a massive weight off my shoulders. 
 

Already managed to get out of bed and a bit of walking on the spot, but breathing hurts and currently bleeding my chest of air!

That was a bit of an anxious wait. 

Bloody good to 'see' you here. 😁

Must echo what Pete said. Glad to have ya back!

Cheers fellas …. I  was woken from the coma after 6 hours (was told to expect 12/18  given this is number 3) then “woke” at 2am Saturday morning.

 

Just been told I’m off to the high dependency ward, so seems they are happy with how it’s going 🤘

Nice to see you back and out the other side...   And remember you may be ticking but that's a good sign all things considered!!

Nicely done Jars, (and to the surgical team)

 

fingers crossed the post op care and recovery is just as successful :)

 

 

edit- make sure the surgical team know all your virtual friends are damn glad they didnt c0$% it up too!
