G'day folks,

I am a little sore around the old freckle at present, the surgeon has drained the abscess "again" for the sixth time in 18 months. He has also fitted a seton drain to the abscess to help allow it to heal properly, unfortunately this thing is uncomfortable to sit on.

My surgeon has allowed my family and I to head down to Victoria to catch up with family and friends for Christmas, unfortunately, I am booked back into hospital on the 13th January 2014 for more bowel surgery.

The drain gets removed from a GP in Geelong on Friday 3rd January 2014. So i cannot guarantee if i am going to be fit enough to go 4x4 driving. I still want to catch up with everyone for a drink and a chat before you head off on your trip!

PS, i apologise for causing problems with the trip!

Regards,

RLI
