Lockdown
Hi everyone. I hope you are obeying government guidelines regarding self isolation. How am I, probably the same as everyone else bored. I may or may not previously mentioned my MRI was supposed to have been carried out on 3th April but as my wife and daughter had a cough I cancelled it to be …
Treatment during this crisis
Good afternoon fellow downhillers, apologies for time between postings. So where am I?

The theatres and concert venues are …

Happy festive greetings
I hope everyone had a fantastic christmas with lots of rest and not to much trauma in between. Apologies for not writing earlier it’s been manic with blood tests (in fact at hospital now to have bloods taken), more bruising I bet. We had a fantastic time in York cold but amazing 5 Christmas markets. …
Unbelievable

My angiogram was done in September if you remember, and yet only now are they advising of an appointment for 9th December (the day before we go to York)…which only came about as our lass has been calling and …
