Hi all this is an update on my health problems that I've mentioned here before. Without beating around the Bush the consultant has told me I've got about 5 years left if I don't have the surgery. That bit of news certainly focused my attention so I've decided I'm definatley having it even though its still a scary prospect I definatley want to be about for longer than 5 years thanks for reading this. And Lisa I guess you'll move this post to a more appropriate place which is fine thanks again
