My consultant phoned and the results of the x-ray showed the bowel joint has healed perfectly and he wants to carry out the reversal in 4 weeks! Marilyn and I discussed it and decided to go for it now rather than later and I am booked in for the operation on 13 August. I should be in hospital for a week.
I have been warned that the bowel will never return to what it was but hey, it is a small price to pay on the scale of things. I am particularly looking forward to it as it will draw a line under the whole thing and I can then get on with making my full recovery.
We are off on holiday tomorrow for 8 days and then I will only have to wait for a couple of weeks before a photo of the first poo!
I hope to have more news on my return
Love Jon ; x

Good news. Will you frame the first production run? Look forward to seeing you on the sidelines as you recover. Off to Sydney next week (winter....!) then builders start the smash up on my return, luckily we go on holiday just after....
ReplyDeleteCatch up soon, thoughts continue to be with you, Marilyn and family
Cheers,
Shaun
Do we have to get to 5ooo visitors for the poo photo? Have a lovely break! Joanna xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat news Jon. 5000 is exactly how many test match runs Andrew Strauss has scored, but I reckon your visitors will overtake him long before the end of the Ashes series!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, sounds like a great plan! Never mind the poo photo, what about the bloody nudity? Did you choose to have the surgery so that we wouldn't take the piss out of the bag?
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip - love ya,
Frances and Skip xoxoxox
Come on everyone, get viewing, Strauss has another 24 not out already today and it is only lunchtime. Do it for Jon!
ReplyDeleteFantastic news Jon, sorry we are down in Bournemouth so only just got this latest blog, hope you enjoyed Suffolk and that the weather was kind to you! Back home shortly so will speak to Marilyn during the week.
