Progress..

Well, we have taken the next step. Today was the follow-up meeting with the consultant veins man. The future is 6-monthly check-ups by x-ray and CT scan to make sure that the stent is still in position and working properly. 1 in 5 chance of another 'intervention'. But the odds are improving weekly as they get more experience at doing it! OK by me. He thinks I could go tomorrow for the op on my back, but the back man has decreed that he wants 2 weeks between the 2 ops. Still OK by me. The first CT scan will be within the next few days to fix a basis for comparing future scans..

So after the consultation and the first x-ray to get a basis for future comparisons of x-rays, we went to the Spa for lunch. Couple of decent glasses of red wine and the world is a different place.
