Saw the vasologist today, who sent me for a CT scan - which apparently showed that the aneurysm is such that it needs dealing with before the back. This means that the op booked for the London Bridge Hospital for Thursday 7 December has been put on ice. I have yet to hear from him with details of the new op, but it sounds as though there is to be a stent or lining inserted in the aorta. This is not invasive surgery, which is good, but it is fairly new technology. But it is better that going in with me on a life support machine and replacing a length of aorta. I have yet to hear when and where this is to happen, but it sounds like the 12 or the 19 January at Kings College. More follows.
Otherwise Christmas has come to an end. We have undressed the tree - at least Sonia has - and finished up all the left-overs. Indeed we had guests for supper last night, which was good, and finished up the last decent bottle of wine. Must get some more in!
