WE HAVE SET THE DATE

I’m having a rough old time lately! I spent an hour in my chair on Sunday and then yesterday was a total write off – in bed in agony and awake till after 3am in the morning sweating with so much pain! 

I had my wound check yesterday and got rid of the fancy suction dressing as it’s finally healing up! No infection now so my antibiotics are finished – (after a month) and we’re just waiting for it to close over! 

So since I’m getting worse so fast we have had to book a provisional date for my surgery in Barcelona- January the 29th 2026….. ! 

It feels a long time to hold on in so much pain, but a super short time to raise the remaining £52K, so I’m going to need all the help you can give to pull this off! 

I know we can do this, my spines fused brilliantly, so my ribs should do so too! Then I can get back living my life again!
