Good morning everyone, a good night, numbers are looking better. Just enjoying a cup of tea in bed then it's on with my day. This time tomorrow I will be on my way down to theatre (unless an emergency has to use my theatre first). It feels strange, I've waited such a long time for this, I remember when I was in the first week of my recovery from the first part of the surgery, thinking it would all be over soon. Little did we know what was to come, so here I am twenty one long painful months later almost at the starting post. I should be 4" taller this time next week if all goes to plan.
For those who weren't here for the start of the thread, there are luxury toilets with complimentary luxury toiletries, there is a well stocked bar, canapés and champagne served at 6:00pm every evening. Childcare facilities and petting zoo (where you can leave small furries) are located on the top deck.
I can thoroughly recommend the staff restaurant on floor C of the hospital for which complimentary passes will be given out on boarding. It is conveniently close to the multi faith centre for those who wish to offer up a prayer. The bus will be collecting you all from your home addresses and will then park in the main car park for the duration of my stay.
My original name on MN was "C4pinkwheels" so the bus will display the C4 instead of a destination and have pink sparkly livery, just like my favourite wheelchair, it will have a purple go faster stripe to reflect my wheelchair that folds up small enough to fit in the boot of the very fast two seater sitting on my drive, which I love to drive. That car fills a tiny bit of the gap left by not being able to participate in extreme sports anymore.
If anyone see's a tall handsome man with receding salt and pepper hair and a slight limp (needs a new knee) and a worried, lost look on his face, stop and give him a hug, tell him it will be ok, even if it's not ok he will be fine.
So I guess you lot will want to see a photograph of me today or you won't recognise me when you come and visit will you. I will try and find one that truly reflects me and post it later.
