| Good Morning People. 04:39 - Sep 4 with 1656 views | Benters | 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.

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

| Good Morning People. on 09:53 - Sep 4 by Benters | 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. |  |
