Good luck and get well
Awesome news Tony, welcome back 🙂
Fsck me Ton, that's a man-sized scar and a half!!
Really, really glad it seems to have worked and I'm guessing that, if it has, that scar will be worth it. Plus which, you can show that off at parties and get free drinks with it!
Get well soon big man, there are trails out there that need you to ride them!
Now that's a scar. Those trails are going to feel sweeet! New bike ahoy!
Speedy recovery big fella.
Ton,chicks dig scars 😆 hope your wife does too.Great news,hopefully the AF is sorted now.
Yay.. great news Get well soon big man
Ton-great to hear you are up and about sort of. Best wishes and all that.
Enjoy your Tallboy.
Jaysus, I'd hate to see the other bloke. 🙂
Nice one Ton, take care.
Ton, I'm pleased for you. But shaving your chest: is that really your style?
Are you sure they didn't sew your butt cheeks together?
You up and about terrorising the ward? Or indeed home by now?
Woo, what a slice! Where are the stitches? Inside?
Great to see you posting on this thread Ton 🙂
Great to hear all is going well. Fingers crossed it's the fix you've been waiting (and working) for.
And get well soon, even if we do now get to make Alien jokes (from a safe distance..!).
😀
[quote=ton ]for the 1st time in nearly 5 years in am firing on all cylinders in a proper sinus rhythm.Watch out Mrs Ton.
Congrats on hopefully getting the ticker sorted, that's going to be some scar 8)
From what you said, Ton, you were a lot worse than anybody (except you) guessed for years. And you kept pushing yourself.
I think you're pretty much going to live forever, strong man. Well done, and keep it up!
Great news.
Does mrs-ton dig scars. She better. 8)
Good to hear everything went well and fingers crossed you'll be out on the bike soon.
Sounds like we need to organise a few beers when you feel up to it. First pints on me Ton 😀
Good to see that giants are still amongst us. Genuinely pleased to see you back and posting.
Even better that the old ticker is improved.
Proper lolled at mcmoonter though.... 😀
Fantastic news, all the best to you.
he removed the sack
Finally, you will be able to pursue your dream as a castrato.
That's your chest? I thought they'd stitched your arse up!
Glad you're on the men fella.
Great news Tony!
Looking forward to catching up fella.
Heal well eh..
Harry beat me to it ... I really thought that was your shaved 'arris being sown up!
Get back on the trails soon big fella.
Harry beat me to it ... I really thought that was your shaved 'arris being sown up!

Great to hear it went well not withstanding the huge scar heal up quick Ton
Brilliant news! Heal well ton 🙂
If chicks do indeed dig scars, you've just woken up with the Brad Pitt of fibrosis.
That's a great result really, worth accepting a somewhat larger scar if it's got you pumping in time properly. Hope you get to ride in what's left of the summer as soon as you can .
great news. heal soon
Fantastic news Tony :D. Hope you get well soon and are out on your bike again
Ah, good news indeed. Hello butt cheeks.
You've been missed 🙂
@jamie.........you bastid
i am laughing so much, but that is killing me and making me want to cry.
proper pmsl mate.
Great news, your now on the mend and normality looms 🙂
cooool scar
gws ton!
JC on a 29+ fat bike. Did they use a fricken disc cutter???
Get well soon Ton , no chasing nurses around Benny Hill style just yet eh
firstly, i would like to thank everyone for all the good luck/get well wish. proper awesome everyone....the pic above posted by druidh is not the outcome planned by my surgeon or me. and it came as a monster of a shock to wake up to it.
i went in for keyhole to remove my left atrial appendage, to stop blood pooling and reduce the risk of stroke massively.
when the surgeon went in, he saw my pulminary vein was perforated, and stopping ablations working.
he removed the sack, patched the vein, ablated me and for the 1st time in nearly 5 years in am firing on all cylinders in a proper sinus rhythm.
and hopefully will remain so.now enough of the boring shit.........who has got a XL carbon tallboy going cheap..................
Fantastic news mate.
If I ever hear anyone on here moaning about the NHS again.....
Good to hear all is well, a bit of healing time now. Was shocked when I saw Essel's pics, two years ago!
All the best
Trevor
Speedy recovery Ton, cracking one Jamie. 🙂
ablated me
I know some surgeons really go the extra mile, but I didn't realise they went that far. That's going to put a smile on your face as you wake up. God bless the NHS.
Hang on, I might be thinking of a similar word to ablated...
Excellent result. You won't know yourself in a few weeks.
now enough of the boring shit.........who has got a XL carbon tallboy going cheap..................
I've an XXL, but it's going nowhere. Suspect you'd need the XXL though.
All the best fella.
Like many on here, I've never met you, but it's always interesting reading your posts etc. Good luck with the recovery and the bike shopping
Best of luck with the recovery.
Glad I wasn't the first twit to think it looked like someone had sewn your "seat" up!
Great to hear you're going to be back on your bike, good luck with your recovery.
Great to hear you decided to man up, big 'un.
I'll be seeing you around, one of these days.
All the best. 😉
Glad to hear that everything went well. Like you said no doubt a bit of a shock to wake up to a great big slice in your chest but it must feel great to know that the surgeon sorted you out.
Take it easy,for a bit at least.
Whooooooop!!! Way to go!!! Fantastic news!! Take it easy . . . . and then blitz them bike shops 😀
Good to see the surgeon practiced using a super sharp and smooth blade to make a nice clean incision. Should be invisible when that heals up! 🙂
Hope the recovery goes well and you are back on the bike soon
Yay, safe and speedy recovery. When's the first pint ?
Take it easy, trails will be there waiting for you. 8)
Great to hear you're through the other side. Get well soon
Great news to start the day. Rest well fella
Result! The last Ton post I looked at had a pre op stress theme, chuffed for you. 😀
Ooooh, check out that scar! 😯 Great that they've sorted you out and getting back on bikes will make you smile even more. Look after yourself and do report back with further updates.
Yay!!!! Ton - what story are you going for to explain the scar? Got to be the result wrestling a crocodile to save a damsel in distress? Or having a scimitar fight with Vladimir Putin (he cheated, obviously)
Hope you're up and about and back on the trails soon big fella
Such good news that you are sorted.
Take it easy at first as you need to recover fully, then, go mad.
Bunnyhop xx
Just seen this, Ton.
Brilliant news for you - heal well but take it easy for a bit, eh?
cheers stuartie...i will be taking it easy, but will be requiring scotland route advice, hopefully for years to come...... 8)
Awesome!
Heal fast. Then you'll realise how bad you were and just how much you've been pushing yourself.
Nice scar, get well soon.
Get well soon fella
Great news, get well soon.
Glad that you are on the mend.
Like many on here Ive never actually met you but you always sound like good craic!
Great news big man. Did he open you up with a broken bottle or what?
Surgeon did a good job of that stitching, considering how drunk he obviously was. Sweet!
Get well soon Ton.
That is a sweet scar! Proper man sized.
Get well soon Ton. Hope to see you up and about round Rothwell before too long!
Best wishes and great man scar that,hope you heal quickly and soon back on a bike
You sure that wasn't a c-section, I'm sure Mrs. mogrim's got a scar like that 🙂
Get well soon!
Good to here from you Ton
