Waiting for Aortic Valve Replacement at Papworth

Finally in the last 48 hours of my wait - after an initial 6 week delay from the start of June (first surgeon appointment on April 11th) and then a cancellation of July 22nd. Really informative and encouraging communications at every stage. However, I've been warned it could still be cancelled......

Cardiology at Ipswich have been great throughout - as both my partner and I can testify over the last 20+ years!

Been doing some 'sorting' in the garden - not my favourite activity, having been cured of gardening as a child! The swifts left a couple of weeks ago - we had 4 boxes out of 6 occupied this year, with two of them having second broods. It's been one of the great joys to stretch out on the lounger to watch and hear them - and good for my poor old heart, too.
