Also took delivery of a spin bike from Amazon and do 2 lots of 4 miles a day each takes 15 mins so this will really help now.

Well done Jay you have worked so hard to get to here. May 2024 see all your hopes achieved.

Hope Sod's Law doesn't kick in so I am whispering my Happy news. John has been given a new operation date.

I now have to corral him for the next 3 weeks prior to his op to ensure he stays free of any form of infection, or get covid, which will be equivalent of herding cats but my threat to confiscate his walking sticks and padlock his wheel chair seems to be working.

He should be home the next day for his 80th Birthday and, after the pain he has been in for the last year, this hip replacement operation will be the best birthday present ever.
