I retired early not been easy but made it thro get state pension next year and access private pensions as well .They have been hit by brexit and covid .Bigger disappointment was this year had put savings in place to do loads of trips may be get better scoot .Covid scuppered the trips wife scuppered better scoot .Hopefully do something next year probably motorhome with scoot on trailer .Wife says its too slow but can get from north Spain to south on no toll dual carridgways and toll free motorway so trucks can overtake us .She didn't like people giving us the finger going to Croatia holding them up lol .

Motorhome is 1988 Talbot with 2.0 petrol with a tiny carb lol

Went to Croatia in Mk4 transit with Vespa on a rack but was just as slow as Talbot .Germany worst for abuse if holding up traffic .

Jimo, quite an eventful time you've had. I had all the waterworks sorted myself last year. They did a lovely job and very little pain you'll be pleased to know. For me it was a fairly lengthy recovery of 5 months. For the op that I had it's normally 4 months so wasn't far out. I was able to ride short distance ok just 4 weeks after the op. Glad I had it done though. Be prepared for the nurses to keep coming in and looking at your willy!!

[Jimo]

Uh-urr, not looking forward to that but it’s not worth looking at anyway!

My waterworks job got delayed because of Covid, ....eventually got it done at NNUH. Seems prob WAS Cancer after lab test findings, have to go back in for repeat of same op in about 4 weeks for them to make sure of complete success - or treat re growth with chemo.

As per my pm Jim, sorry to hear this. Thankfully, it's not the end of the world. I have friends who had the same result. When I had mine done there was three of us having surgery. My op lasted 2 1/4 hrs. I was the only one out of the three of us that didn't have cancer. It's so common though amongst us guys. I'm in touch with the other two guys and they are doing just fine. Unless it's the aggressive kind of cancer, they don't need to do much except monitor it and sometimes give you some medication. It rarely spreads apparently. All best wishes though Jim for your next visit to the operating theatre and please keep us all informed. If you need anything, let me know.
