Bullseye.

Whilst waiting for two years for my surgery, I received four generic letters from the hospital apologising for the delay, and suggesting that I get healthier, lose weight, and lower blood pressure to aid recovery.

I didn’t have much to lose. But I’ve lost one and a half stone. The morning of the op, I’d hit my target weight and my blood pressure was spot on. Perfect patient apparently!

The recovery is good, apart from a small UTI. And I feel pretty fab. If only I could stay awake ….
