May 13, 201610 yr Stay strong and be positive Phil. You have recovered from this before and will do so again. The thoughts and prayers of so many are with you, gain strength from that. Speedy recovery.
May 16, 201610 yr Author It feels really sad and poignant posting about this here, as last time I had surgery for this, Tom and I shared a private joke about which of us would be taking our final flight first. I was so sure back then that it would be me. Who was it said, that if you want to give god a laugh, then tell him your plans? I shall be thinking especially of that good man today & tomorrow.
