All fixed and going home tomorrow
Good news , Doc says I am all fixed and he just wants to monitor for another 24 hours before I bugger off home. So back to the boat tomorrow and in my own bed for the weekend.
If anyone is out there, living in France, and concerned about the quality of care in the french hospitals , don’t be. If my experience is typical and there is no reason to suggest it is, the care I have received has been incredible. It is not just the quality of care, which has been superb but just as important is the attitude and demeanor of the staff, always cheerful and attentive from the young lad who cleans the room every morning to the specialist nurses and consultants.
Bloody Brexit may put all that at risk, I really hope not as this is too good to lose.

Yes it is fine, however, there is always a but. I have had the smiling assassin in this afternoon in the shape of a smiling nurse who is responsible for aftercare of patients. She tells me that I must lose weight, eat less salt, drink less wine and take the blood thinning tablets every day, forever. If I do that I can live a normal life. Whats normal about bland food washed down with water?

I have just got back from a w/e away to the excellent news! I am sure you are going to “milk” it letting Mrs T give you loads of TLC but hey! even though they “ration” our little pleasures (like wonderful wine and food!) in the immediate aftermath of your recent MOT, don’t forget that on the upside, we hopefully get a lot longer to enjoy it!!!!!!!! Cheers my friend!! Fernando x
