Morning all,
Yesterday I needed a new front tyre and I wanted to have the front suspension checked as there was a knock sound going over bumps in the road. Both issues were resolved.
The tyre shop manager I had met before 2 years ago when he told me about his abdominal aortic aneurysm. Despite being a chain smoker, suffering from obesity and failing his cardiac bicycle test twice, last year he had open surgery to repair the aneurysm with the graft.
We listened to his story about the op and recovery. He proudly showed off his operation scar, all of which gave us a boost.
Before the op, he was terrified and couldn’t walk to the operating theatre because of anxiety and fear. After the op, all of the fear had quickly disappeared.
The docs told him he’d be off work for 3 months but after 10 days at home, he was bored so he returned to work.
He is still chain smoking, belly bigger than ever before but a happy chappie.
Because of what I am having to face, he knocked 50% off my bill, well every penny helps. What a nice man
What is everyone up to?
