Cheers Ristac, everything went as well as it could, still have longer terms issues to sort out, but at least not in the same amount of pain as the other day.
Apparently my Mrs said I logged on here yesterday and just sat looking at my tablet screen now whether that was bewilderment at what I was reading, or because I was as high as a kite on pain medication, I'll leave for everyone else to make their own mind up
Thanks everyone for the well wishes and apologies to Elland as I'm replying to this thread and I've not even read the opening post yet
