Well the day has finally arrived. My very good friend, Pal of Porty aka Mr Matrix, is going under the knife, as I type. He has waited for almost 3 Years for a potential hip replacement and today is the day.
I'm sure he would want me to make it clear that he has not waited for 3 years because of delays in the NHS. He has waited 3 years because they have been measuring his progress carefully,showing dedication, care and an incredible commitment to getting him completely better. The NHS is marvelous.
PoP is not religious person and he is signifigantly more private than I am but I do think he would like to know that we had been thinking about him. I will be saying a prayer,keeping my fingers crossed and anything else I can think of.
