To Morag, and I'm off too!

[Guest guest]

Hello Morag,

Well I'm glad you are back home, it's not easy to get from Glasgow

to Birmingham, and you sorted your travel challenges out! It's good

to hear that you are doing well, and that everything seems to be

working out!

Thanks to everyone for your e mails and the posts on the board,

especially those who have been esurfaced recently, because I am

going in to the Nuffield on Thursday after a very short

investigation. It is great as another poster has said to hear from

people of similar ages with similar problems, so you know what to

expect. Having only heard about BHR on the 26th April, on the 10th

June I shall hopefully have one, in Nottingham , England! Never

having been in hospital in my life and still being relatively fit, I

am more concerned about the after effects than the surgery itself,

although that may change as the day approaches!

So thanks again, and I will let you know how I get on!

RBHR ( hopefully) 10/6/04 Nottingham, England
