Hi Big Man, how are you keeping?
i am good -- some people puke up everything and have problems and pain--i have escaped all that .
my body is so used to stuff being shoveled in it doesn't protest any more .
i am drinking lots of lime flavoured flat water and soups are put through the liquidiser again with 3 scoops of protein added as ordered i would consume 2 medium mugs of soup a day about a coke tin of matter per day .
my weight has gone already from 180 kgs. a month ago to 166.9 this morning .
i had to go on a liver reducing diet 3 weeks before surgery and that lowered things a bit .
i have to take calcium tablets and multivitamins daily for life now and i got a pack of needles already loaded with the anti blood clotting drug so i have to inject myself each day at the same time for 2 weeks .
this drug can cause problems and there is a big lecture to go with it to manage things .
i am doing the annual accounts at the moment and it is no strain -i cannot drive for 2 weeks or lift for 6 and it is no trouble .
i am one of the luckiest people alive i did this by the skin of my teeth -i was facing real problems if i did not tackle the weight.
last week i was 69 and in my youth you did not generally celebrate your 69th birthday and a man of 65 was elderly and like Yeats said "" AN AGED MAN IS A PALTRY THING -A TATTERED COAT APON A STICK "" .
Today you have to submit to a bacon slicer to make you fit your tattered coat its a mad world.
all is good and my family are very much relived -
my family were talking to a surgeon they know who was in awe of my surgeon William Robb and asked how i managed to get him he is the top man in the country with a very long waiting list .
i am very lucky and i have an awful lot to do in the next 10 years i hope i am allowed to do it .
thanks for enquiring - i said i would publish my instructions re drugs and food -i am leaving it a bit as i have to get my blood tested to see am i eating enough and am i short of vitamins and when i get the report i will be able to give a proper summary if anyone is thinking of it .

Three score years and ten, man's alloted period of suffering in this obscure backwater of the universe. And yes, in days of old 70 was indeed ancient but there are those who will grow into that niche, some fighting it, some not realising it and others who welcome the aging as they belive, often quite incorrectly, that it confers a greater wisdom upon themselves.

Facing retirement age myself I feel only 40 but the signs of slowing are there and my greatest hope is that my health and fitness allows me to handle a bike, two up, for a good while yet, for we have many miles we wish to cover.

So, you are worthy of congratulation for at 69 many simply wouldn't have bothered, or had the desire to contine with a life that may or may not have been fulfilling, but no doubt that was something the surgeon satisfied himself upon before the procedure.

May it continue to go well for you!
