Good Morning People. 04:39 - Sep 4 with 1656 viewsBenters

Just to let those know who are interested in my progress after my Heart ❤️ Operation on the 5th of August.

Yesterday I had an appointment at Clacton Hospital (no I didn’t see Nigel but then I walked straight past the Spoons and Tom Peppers).

Anyway the nurse/specialist was extremely pleased with my progress the tests she did all came back great.

She said I can increase my daily walking from 5000 steps gradually up to 10000 steps,I’d actually walked 9600 steps yesterday from the Station to the Hospital etc.

I can do a bit more gardening as long as it’s not digging etc,but cutting back plants etc is ok.

I can’t lift anything or push anything heavy at the moment,but I can have a pint of ale,as long as I don’t go loopy for it.

She even said get your Basildon Hospital visit done on the 17th and you can start up cycling again,as long as I don’t do any big hills or go to mad at it.

Thank you everyone for the kind messages etc.

I had left Bloots permission that if I hadn’t posted anything by the 9th of August he was going to tell you of my passing,thankfully he didn’t need to and I’m still here 😂👍

Peace and love.

Good to hear Benters, onwards and upwards. Lay off the Oysters and Guinness with champagne for a bit - sounds like a local speciality.

Good to hear, Benters.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Excellent news.

At this rate, you'll be running ultra-marathons by the turn of the year.

I imagine Nigel will be at his majesty's pleasure by the next time you see him.

Excellent news 👍

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Good news Benters. Keep it going.

Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.

Did the nurse/specialist have any Lego set recommendations for you?

Great news, the last month must have been maddening for you, but you're getting the rewards for playing by their rules now.

I’m glad they specified ale was ok… I shouldn’t imagine lager would do you any good.

Glad to hear improvement is being made. Keep it up.

I did.

The Indians,Italians,and those from Thailand and The Philippines were all wonderful,couldn’t do enough to help.

There were some lazy barstools and I won’t mention those …miserable with it.

A tub of Heroes,M&S biscuits and a nice thank you card was presented to the main ward desk as I left.

Thank you.

I haven;t worked at Basildon in well over 20 years and it's had some ups and downs in that time. Glad to hear they've done right by you.
