I was discharged as an Outpatient from Preston Royal Hospital, on Wednesday the 15th December, on the conclusion of the 6+ weeks of receiving Daily Treatment there. I am now at home with daily visits by the District Nurses for the next 4 to 5 weeks, with a return trip on the 10th January to see the Consutants for an update on my condition and the results of the treatment I have received.

Personally I feel fine within myself, however still have to look after my overall situation within the limits of not only the advice from my Consultants, but also the latest dammed COVID restrictions etc...

I am so pleased to have the trip to Preston and back every single day in the back of an Ambulance come to an end, and if I don't see that road again for a while, I will be quite happy.

A quiet Xmas and New Year break at home for me and hopefully a far better 2022 ahead.

All of the Ambulance Crews that I came into contact with were first class and I thank them for everything that they have done for me.

All of the staff in the Rosemere Centre at Preston Royal were absolutely briliant, being so professional in every aspect and extremely personable, making me feel at ease at every step in my treatment, explaining in detail everything that I was likely to encounter along the way. I cannot thank them enough.

In particular I thank Dr Agawarl for everything he has done for me and continues to do. Without him, I just don't know where I would be today. He stepped in to take control of a situation that was beginning to spiral out of control, made a decision and had me admitted for major surgery within a matter of a few days.

So, where I go from here is still a wee bit of an unknow, but hopefully I will know more over the next month or two.


Hopefully I, like all of you, will be able to enjoy the year ahead with the re-start of the Road Racing season both on The Island and in Ireland (plus other items of interest from the Motorcycle Racing world).


I wish each and every one of you all the very best for Xmas and the New Year ahead.
