I am feeling pretty good considering. I will try and update and fill in the past few days when I feel up to it

The surgeon is very pleased with the outcome

Operation 4/5 done

Operation number 4 done or 5 if you include the Biopsy

I was on the operating table approx 7/8 hrs
They feel they have done a good job

I want to surgery at 8am and woke up in recovery around 6pm. As far as I can remember

I am in in pain where I was laid on my side for so long
My right leg and arm and hip and shoulder
They need me fixed in one spot while they do the operation on my head
The head is fixed in a frame while the operate via the left side of my head / neck behind the ear

I will update more when I feel a bit better

Oddly enough only a little pain from my head so far !

Been awhile since my last post - There is a lot of new stuff

The bottom line is that the Chordoma is back and I am booked in for another operation on the 25th January

They have set aside a full day as me being there only surgery that day and there will be 2 surgeons working as a tag team to get to the Chordoma and hopefully remove it

I am going in late the day before for an early morning kick off for the surgery

Today I have put in a few notes and updates using the correct timeline/dates these things occurred. So have a look at the last 4/5 posts to catch up with what has been going on
