Thanks for all your good wishes ! 

....hello everyone - I got home at 4.30pm this afternoon , after being in hospital since February 19th ! The reason for the delay was initially a 'medical student' , who woke me up in the middle of the night to change my 5 drain bags , so I left her to it. I was then later awoken by the ward sister who'd let her loose on me UNSUPERVISED.....and a pipe had been cut down severely and she hadn't fitted a new big safety pin to prevent the pipe dropping into my belly....and it HAD done , leaking gunk for hours - so a hasty second op was quickly organised under general anaesthetic to get it out again . Then I got a serious infection , then a bright red blood serious bleed into a bag ....and since then they've just been monitoring the bags and draining them off , and have removed 4 of the 5 - the last one is still there and I'll be draining and measuring it myself at home for a while. The gunk stinks - and they actually wanted me to drink some mixed with pineapple juice to boost my 'good bacteria' in my system.....but thankfully they found it wasn't necessary ! I'm very weak and skinny - below 15 stone from 22 or 23....but I'll start my OWN 'Enhanced Recovery Programme' tomorrow.....seeing as the Hospital one was crap ! Thank you for all your luv and good wishes. xx I might do a short video tomorrow....watch this space !

Really glad your back home steve take care and look forward to your next video 👍 all the best.

I don't know how many video's there are on youtube, wouldn't even like to guess. But I can honestly say hand on heart, since learning of your health issue this is the one I've looked forward to the most Steve. Good on yer lad! You have informed, entertained, and made us laugh out loud with your videos for several years now, and in a strange way like it or not have become part of the family. I think I speak for many when I say we wish you nothing but the best. 👍

Thanks Calder Dale for updating us. Progress for Steve. Slow and steady. I'm sure the lad is going stir-crazy though! I'm sorry to hear his mum has been feeling poorly. Wishing them both well from t'other side of t'pond.

Great to see you back Steve, I know a lot of people were very worried about you, myself included. I'm sure the forthcoming operation will be a great success, and I hope you get the help and support you need to recover properly. I'm looking forward to your spring and summer vlogs on the bike. So take it easy, try not to worry too much, and keep on riding ( as biker bits would say ). All the best sir.

Thank you for the update on Steve, although I noted he hadn't been posting as much iwas unaware ,he was ill. Please will you pass on my best wishes to him for a speedy recovery I only live local to him. Hopefully when he's feeling better I can touch base etc. 👍

Thanks for letting me know I was very worried about him hope he makes a speedy recovery thanks Gill

....sorry - I was going to do a video from home , show you my 12'' scar and go in the backyard and start the bikes ....but after just a week I'm still too weak. Here's a video of clips to be putting you on , 'til I'm a bit stronger. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I60gd_nGf44.html

...the latest news is that the intended surgeon has reported sick....so someone else is doing my operation now , and has brought the date forward. Maybe he'll have a manual on my belly , with a nurse turning the pages....'Whipple by numbers' ....or ''Done Whippling?'' ....or 'The Beginners Guide To The Whipple Procedure' ....or 'Don't Waffle While You Whipple' - in which case I'll lend HIM my helmetcam and let him film it... ...?
