I am going to make the sun shine for the next two or three months

[Clkrichard]

Tomorrow I go into hospital for a 6 hour operation to remove a tumour, shorten my oesophagus and relocate my stomach upwards. I cant say I am looking forwards to it, its not so much the actual operation more the initial few weeks after it. I will be in hospital for about 3 weeks and convalescing for 2 months or so. Full recovery will take about a year.
In the first two or three months I will not be allowed to drive so I predict brilliant weather and no roof down motoring for me ! l guess I could sit in the car on the drive with the roof down going " vroom vroom " !
I dont feel sorry for myself especially as I have a friend who was diagnosed at the same time as me with inoperable cancer. At least after my operation I will have a chance - he just has a finite amount of time.
Enjoy your Mercs my MB Club friends, you never know what is around the corner. I certainly didnt see this coming and am a non smoker, moderate drinker, who has never been ill in his life.
Hopefully I will be back on here in a few weeks.
Richard

Good luck with the operation. Keep "tuning in" to the forum ----may help pass the time during your convalescence. Hopefully we will have a good summer this year to aid your recovery. Be sure to maintain your nutritional status post operation. Lots of elementary nutritional products out there which may help. Just a question of finding some that suit you. No doubt the hospital will advise.
