Hi all
I have just got back from Southampton Hospital as had a check up with the surgeon Mr Antonio Ravaglioli and he is very pleased with how my heart is responding to the surgery
All good news and very happy
I also managed to see a few of the nurses who looked after me during my stay in hospital,it was very unexpected and lovely to be able to see them.

What a difference a year makes
This week is exactly a year on from my third major open heart surgery (August 22/23 2022 and I spent 10 days in ICU and three to four weeks probably more as I can’t remember how long exactly all I know is I was home by early October )after in wards /E2 ward at Southampton )and I’m pretty much fully fit now (as much as I’d ever be ) the surgeon said it would take roughly 9-10 months to re adjust /fully recover after the surgery and he was right
Goes to show what keeping as positive as possible can do and keeping a open mind
Did a track day at Castle Combe yesterday which is honestly something I never thought would be possible (actually driving a vehicle on a track with a instructor ) what a way to celebrate…

Hi all and hope it’s been a good weekend so far
Just thought I’d update you all
I had a very positive check up meeting on Friday at Southampton Hospital
They are very pleased with how my heart is doing at the moment.

Glad to hear that Max - great news.

Treat yourself to a day at Marham - very relaxing and great for the race - the Human Race!

Mind you the lack of visitors means Lakenheath is pretty quiet these days.

Super chuffed for you - max the enjoyment

Hi all
Have had an early morning trip down to Southampton Hospital (appointment was at 08:15 ) for my annual check up ,had a esg and eco cardiogram.
Saw the cardiac consultant and she is very pleased with how my heart is doing .
It is two years since my third major open heart surgery
Next week I am away on holiday in Milan (trip to see Monza race track home of the Italian Grand Prix ) .

Great news. I had 8 days in Addenbrookes in April to deal with a long standing aortic aneurism N.H.S??? Faultless as far as my treatment over the years has gone. I once booked a trip to Italian G.P. Had to cancel last minute due to work pressures. You have now made me jealous. Hope all goes well with you and the holiday.
