Thanks guys for all your expressed concerns and the good humour, it's very much appreciated. I will have restricted are movement for 8 weeks to allow the wire feeds to adhere to my body tissue so they won't pull out. It will be 6 months before I am allowed to do any heavy lifting (2 weeks WOFF time, as they say)

Special thanks to KK for keeping you all updated. As A.S. expressed it "I'll be back!)

Cheers to all!

He’s already working double time!
Any mods for your pacemaker? Loftyc is right, you should at least get the LED mod like Ironman, at least for Halloween.

.

You're funny Fullofit.

Robert, great to see you are on the road to recovery!

.

You guys...!!
Cheers to all of you.

And there he is, right back among us, seemingly none the worse for wear

Good to see you're on the mend!

BTW, we have to talk regarding how one goes about getting a pass on chores

.

One way is to simply do the chores very. very poorly, over and over.

.

LOL Lou, I knew I could count on you...

Welcome back Mr. Wiggins

You'll be back !
All the best,
Ted

Thanks Ted!

As for all you other commedians you have got me laughing so hard I had to take an extra strenght Tylenol to ease the pain. My other choice medication, I am told, is off limits for the moment.

Best to all of you!

May you be back to your "regular medications of choice" very soon, sir.

Hi Robert

Glad to hear you are healing nicely and all went well with your surgery! Plenty of time to don the silk scarf and flying gear upon healIng up. Need you in full form to swing that cricket bat Lou has stashed away when the frivolity commences in the pilots lounge! Take care!

All the best,

Deej

Only just seen this thread sorry, here's to a speedy recovery Robert!
Don't worry they will patch you up and plonk you back in the cockpit for dawn patrol very soon.

Seriously all the very best Robert from myself and WM.

Robert, I was reading in a recent medical journal that you can now download a variety of apps directly into you pacemaker. The article recommended Pandora, as that way you can always have a song in your heart. And, it comes initially preloaded with the following twenty recordings, (a very eclectic mix), set to play on shuffle:

“Un-break my Heart” by Toni Braxton
“Achy Breaky Heart”, by Billy Ray Cyrus
“Total Eclipse of the Heart”, by Bonnie Tyler
“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”, by Elton John & Kiki Dee
“Heart of Stone” by The Rolling Stones
“Heart Full of Soul” by The Yardbirds
“Heart of Glass”, by Blondie
“My Heart Will Go On”, by Celine Dion
“You Cheatin’ Heart” by Hank Williams
“How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”, by the Bee Gees
“Kickstart My Heart”, by Mötley Crüe
“Groove is In the Heart”, by Deee-lite
“Burning Heart”, by Survivor
“Heartbreaker” by Pat Benatar
“Sheer Heart Attack”, by Queen
“Piece of My Heart” by Janis Joplin
“Young at Heart” by Frank Sinatra
“Can’t you Hear my Heartbeat” by Herman’s Hermits
“Don’t Phunk with my Heart” by the Black Eyed Peas
“You Done Stompt On My Heart” by Mason Williams

(that last one by the way contains one of the greatest country western lines ever: “You just sort’a stomped on my aorta”)

.

Thanks Pol and WM, i appreciate your concern. Not to worry as I am biding my time until the 2020 release you folks are working on. Can hardly wait for it!

Lou, only you could come up with that, but didn't you forget the rock classic Heart Break Hotel?

Best to all, and thanks again folks

What's this? No "Hole Hearted" by Extreme? Nothing by Heart themselves?

Wow. Breakin' my heart, Lou. No, really.

.

Robert and KK, of course those first twenty are only the teaser from Pandora. They will fully expect, and strongly encourage you, to download all your favorite heart-related tunes, and Heart tunes as well, for a nominal per song fee. And, if you also download the PayPal app to your pacemaker, these fees can be automatically charged to your account. So thoughtful of them really, keeping things stress-free for you like that. See how heart conscious they are.

.

Get well soon.

Not blessed with health myself. Also had a bad fall on Friday and have done in a rib or two and my ankle. I may go hospital tomorrow if things haven't improved much.

Hope Robert gets well quickly, he sounds in good spirits which is great.

.

Wodin, ouch! Hope you have those ribs taped and that ankle wrapped. Take care and get well soon, and let us know how you're doing as you are on the mend.

.

Lou, ain't it great the way they're lookin' out for us all? I'm sure you recall how the old 8-track tape subscriptions would just go ahead and send you some cr@p they 'selected' for you, then charge you when you were too lazy to send it back on time

Now it's all digital. Same cr@p, they just don't have shipping costs now.
