First. a belated Merry Christmas and a current Happy New Year. Some of you may remember me from a few years back, before I backed out of stamp collecting - don't ask why, I can't remember meself.
Anyway, just had a nasty period concerning the lower port leg department. Was out shopping with Management when I had excruciating pain in the left leg. Called in to see the emergency doctor at 1615 and was in Southmead Hospital at 1800
CT scan showed a clot in the artery behind the Knee. So an op.to bypass the blockage was required, which was done a week ago . So now I'm hobbling around with a stick, learning to walk again and keeping an eye on the left foot,which aint half a funny colour! It puts a damper on metal detecting for a few months. The Barber Surgeon said I was fortunate as I could have lost my leg- but could still lose a few toes! It's a bummer really as NHS doe'snt provide a parrot to go with the crutch
Arr, JIm Lad!!
