At the beginning of April I was told I was having major surgery To correct a AAA…that happened on St George’s day (23 April for those Heathens among you!) it didn’t quite go as planned so I was in surgery for 8 1/2 hours and in ICU for ten days…..during that time I “crashed” twice….. Anyway…..thanks to the superb efforts of the vascular surgery team and post operative care team/s at Addenbrookes hospital I have pulled through 100%, with just a sternum to pelvis scar to show for it. The greater news is that I got back on the Tiger yesterday and went for a ride for a few hours, which has also lifted my spirits…. Any of you guys who are about around Norfolk, particularly “Sunny Hunny” give me a shout if you want to go for a ride in company…
I do like a bit of good news, chuffed for you mate. I was on Brancaster beach this time last week, could have had a paddle with me . Anyway, onwards and upwards my friend!
Sadly, there is a downside…….The long haired Colonel has now closed the sympathy and pandering file……I can no longer just spend money for the sake of it as I have no cards to play any more….
Great news Ken My dad had one repaired in the mid nineties and is still going so you have plenty of time to get brownie points to buy new toys! Look after yourself
So glad to see you back on the forum, Ken! I'm so sorry that you've been through the wringer health-wise but glad you came through and are on the mend. And that you're mended enough to be able to ride your Tiger! That is good news. How are all your furry friends faring? Can you ride your horses yet??
Sounds like it's been a long and .... uhmmmmm ..... 'interesting' journey recently! Very glad to hear that you're through it and mended enough to get back to life's real pleasures - the sun in your face, the wind in your hair (assuming you have some!) and the triple cylinder howl resonating through the empty space between the ears .... well, it is in my bonce - perhaps not yours! I'm sure you could get sufficient sympathy from the LHC to consider a swap of the Tiger for a Street Triple .... lighten the load AND increase the pleasure. WinWin as the septic tanks might say? Stay well and stay safe.
Ken P. So sorry to hear of your problems. But glad you are on the mend and back with us in coocoo land. Sorry the Colonel I can't offer any advice. But take it easy and keep us all in the picture. Joe.
Good news Ken, glad your back with us on this side and back on the bike, long may it last, enjoy enjoy enjoy,
Sternum to pelvis? That's a scratch, not a scar Glad to hear you're up and about again, and back on your bike as well! Look after yourself, though, and don't take liberties whilst you're still in recovery.
Ken P Like Learningtofly said. One day at a time now till your back totally. Talk to our lovely Sandi T she went to hell and back and is now back here writing us her stories and travels. Remember we are all here with you and if you need a lift then we will carry you. Joe.
