Just popped in to see how people were doing with their 52 and came across some of your posts. I wanted to say Dave how sorry I was to read what a rough time you've been having. Firstly I hope all goes well with your operation - I'm not completely sure what yours is, but I have two friends who've had stents put in in the the last two months - it must be that time of year, or our lives? Best of luck anyway with the op and your recovery.
I'm sure your Mum will be glad to have you and Susie around for Christmas. It sounds like you've had a very raw deal
I'm not going to do the 52 next year either, but I am hoping to do the other monthly challenge which sounds less of a commitment. Would be good to see you on here occasionally
