All the good wishes are very much appreciated and can I say I have been genuinely moved by them.
I've got to say that I the treatment and care in the Freemam hospital up in Newcastle has been tremendous. I had a wobbly moment during the night but it was dealt with and I was monitored overnight.
Hospital food ? I take back any previous comments - it was generally good - apart from the salt free soup - although on a surgical cardio ward what else could be expected.
Once again, thank you.
