If all goes well, the Eye and his prostate will part company in hospital today. (Prostate cancer – a downside of being a man!)
Things being what they are, we’re not going to be dashing around the town centre for a while. But, with a bit of luck, and provided that the lockdown doesn’t last for ever, we’ll be back with thrilling pictures of bollards and scaffolding – and anything else that takes our fancy – before too long.
In the meantime, do stay healthy.
Best of luck with the operation and good wishes for a speedy recovery.
Many thanks, Tony. With luck the worst will be over.
Best wishes for a quick recovery. Stay safe.
That’s kind of you, Bob.
Good luck and stay safe.
Thanks, Stuart. It’s good to see so much support and goodwill here – it’s the ‘nice side’ of social media.
Hope all goes well and you’re back soon, you must be so proud of the joy your blog brings to so many – it’s a wonderful escape from the current events 🙂
What can I say, Rob? I know the Camberley Eye doesn’t always bring joy to all in Knoll Road, but I try to stick to the facts. I’ll do my best to be “back soon” – many thanks.
Hope all goes well with your op today. Keep safe!Penny Skelton Sent from my Galaxy
Many thanks, Penny. I’m reminded of the old (apocryphal?) pilot’s saying that any landing from which you walk away is a good one. I’ve walked away (well, staggered, actually) from the op, so it must’ve been a good one too!
All the best. Let’s hope there are lots of scaffolding (but few pot holes) ready for when you next get out.
More scaffolding? I can’t wait, Graham… It’s interesting to speculate where it might appear next – not the London Road Block, I suspect.
David ..my best wishes for a swift recovery and not too much inconvenience along the way.
I’ll do my best, Redsnapper!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Many thanks, Hazel. Everyone’s encouraging comments here are a great help.
Best of luck with the op – and best wishes for a rapid recovery.
Thanks, Jim. (If I had my way, I’d have recovered already… But it’ll take a little while, I suspect. I’ll work on it.)
Good Luck. I hope all goes well with your op and l am looking forward to your posts when they resume.
And I’m looking forward to being able to resume posting, Sandra. With luck, the op will keep me going for years to come.
Best wishes for your operation today and for a full and speedy recovery to follow. I look forward to “normal service” resuming ASAP. Good luck!
Thanks for your comments, Helene. Normal service will, indeed, resume ASAP – the transmitter has been out of action for routine maintenance…
Good luck with the op and I hope you have a speedy recovery. We need you keeping an eye on what is happening in the local environs.
Many thank for your good wishes. It’s funny how things work out. When I started this blog I had no particular plans. It just seemed a good idea to report on minor matters (I nearly wrote ‘trivia’) around the town. I was told that I’d run out of things to write about within a few weeks. That was about ten years ago… The op has been the first break in my daily posts – apart from on Christmas Day – since I started. It’s become a bit of a habit!
All of the above, and, with bells on, X.
Thank you Angela. The bells are especially appreciated!
Wishing you all the very best David for a speedy recovery …it’s far too cold to be out and about !
You must admit, Shirley, that my timing has been impeccable. Lockdown and lousy weather mean that I wouldn’t be wandering around the town anyway. So the fact that I can’t walk very far or fast at the moment isn’t much of a problem. But I’ll take your ‘advice’ and work on a speedy recovery.
Best wishes for a successful Op and a speedy recovery David, mornings wont be the same without your posts, so come back soon – you’ll be missed.
Good luck with the op. The council will have their feet up on the desk in your absence (more so than normal).
I couldn’t possibly comment! But many thanks…
Hope all goes well, maybe Camberley will be a World beating town on your return and something about Pigs and flying comes to mind
I do hope I’m back on my feet sooner than that! But I do appreciate your message.
Good luck and all the best.
Many thanks, Stephen. The outlook – my personal one – is reasonably positive, and it’s cheering to see so many messages here.
Our thoughts are with you for a successful operation and speedy recovery. We need The Eye back in business!!
I’ll do my best, Nick. Many thanks.
Good luck with your procedure
Looking forward to your comments when youre up and about again
Thanks, Andrew. At my current walking (ie shuffling!) rate, it might take me a couple of hours to get to the town centre. But I’ll speed up as soon as I can…
David. Best wishes, and prayers for quick recovery. Camberley mussing you already.
Thanks Mike. The Eye and I have become joined at the hip over the years, so to speak, and I’ll be glad to get back to it. Regards.
Best of luck with the op, I expect you will still be avoiding the same pot holes whenever you get back on your bike.
Many thanks, Bernard. I’ve a nasty feeling that those potholes will be bigger and deeper than when I last saw them.
Wishing you the best of luck today and hope you’ll be back on the beat soon.
‘Back on the beat’? Those were the days when policemen were a common sight in the town. Ken can tell us all about them. But I’ll do my best in my little Panda car (AKA on foot/on bike). Thanks, Denise, for your comments.
Best wishes for a successful op. and a speedy recovery.
Thanks, Steve. I won’t be sawing through any more of my wife’s brake pipes for a little while, though…
Hope it goes well Sir – I had Radio Therapy back in 2012, but sadly in this last 2 years its reared its ugly head again – cancer in 2 cores after a Template Biopsy – now on ‘Watch & wait’ – a straight Prosectomy no longer an option after RT unfortunately, so maybe a HIFU !
I’m very sorry to read that, Speedicus. Each form of therapy has pros and cons, of course, and, as there’s no ‘right answer’, it’s a gamble whichever you chose. I opted for radical removal more on the basis of a gut ‘get rid of the thing’ emotion than any carefully considered analysis, otherwise I might have opted for RT too. Only time – and histology – will tell whether my gut betrayed me. (Perhaps I’ll start a discussion group to compare catheters and leg-bags….)
Best wishes and good luck!
Thanks, Paul. Good luck – plus a good surgical team, of course!
best wishes, David. I hope the operation is a success.
Thanks, Roger. I’m totally aligned with your sentiments – a success is what I’d like too!!
Hope it all goes well David, at least you give the Council a short break!
Many thanks, Ken. Yes, I’ll have to get back to reading council ‘stuff’ soonest. Trust all is well with you – I imagine things haven’t been easy for you. We must meet up as soon as friend Covid allows…
