My last post for a short while! I'm going into hospital tomorrow to get this damn leaky heart valve fixed! They'll either repair it or replace it, they won't know 'til they're in there! The op is scheduled for Wednesday and I'll be a day or so in intensive care afterwards. Sounds gruesome... they cut your breastbone, stop your heart etc, but I have been through several ops in my life so I'm more fascinated than worried by it all. I'll be taking my portable DVD player and the newly released Red Dwarf V in to keep me company. ;) I should be out next Friday at the latest! See you then!

Just watch out for a strange looking imortal bloke insulting everyone... if he comes your way, good luck.

Thank you people! Incidently, where in West Sussex are you Bail? I used to live in Haywards Heath for many many years...

What about the "sorry,-but-your-warranty-is-not-valid-because-[insert-obscure-excuse-here]" one!

anyway, it's against my principles to wish "good luck" about an operation, as that suggests that there is an element of chance in it -- and thanks to today's specialised equipment, it's bound to be fine. :)

Good luck, Brad. I'm sure we will be hearing from you shortly saying what success it was.

All the best.
