Report on the Jaffa!

[jaffa1949]

Well surgery was done on the 25th of October, my cancerous prostate was remove by a robot called da Vinci.
The bits are being examined to see if anything else is needed. Hope not, and seems likely that's how it will turn out.
Had a heart event ( atrial fibrillation ) and at the moment the 600 km drive home is little much, so still holding down a hospital bed.

It looks like a very jelly Jaffa might be in the water early next year. But I intend to shoot surf from the shore!

All as good as it can be.

Jaffa, fingers crossed and all the best. Sounds like you are in Melbourne? Or Sydney? either way, big cities, got to get out of there!

[DreamSurf]

toast on health

amen.

hopefully its over now

[oldmansurfer]

Hope the recovery is smooth. Operated on by a robot? How cool is that!

[BoMan]

While you recover you have time to perfect the knee board and straighten out our mistakes.
Take care my friend!

[IanCaio]

Wish you the best recovery Jaffa!

Hope to see you on the water again soon, surfing some great waves like that one you posted a while back

[Big H]

Hopes for a speedy recovery....I'll post pictures so you can vicariously enjoy different breaks while stuck in that room!

Nice work Jaffa and glad to hear everything went as planned. Coming from a recent experience i know how much it sucks to just lie in a hospital bed for days and get woken up at 6am every morning by nurses wanting to take tests haha! All the best!

[icetime]

Get well! I hope to see you getting barrelled on the knee board you've been designing

Jaffa is home in own bed, all drips drains etc remove, exhausted after being driven 600 kilometres.

Thanks for all the thoughts

Yes, but they probably aren't worn out from a intense medical treatment unless heavy drinking counts as a intense treatment
