Thanks chaps 🙏.
Yes I was on clopidogrel blood thinner for a while. It was a very rough affair and not the normal from what others have told me.
The surgeon decided to change my blood thinner to 2 Apixaban a day. What with all the other meds I’m rattling now !🤣.

Did blood thinning injections twice a day for 8 months,got used to them in the end but it's not the best thing to have to do before getting out of bed.

Be thankful things have moved on since warfarin with weekly blood tests to monitor the effect/ titrate the dose.

It was windy with showers, so I went out for a short ride to ride in a rain during daylight, to practice.
And I've experienced my first wheel-spin, when leaving traffic lights, so practice ride well worth it.
It softened all the flies that were left of the Blue Motor Whale, so I could clean the front on return home.

Or as my partner would say: I offered to pick up carrots for dinner from a shop.
I am here to learn.

When in Cambridge a couple of weeks ago and indulging in a pint or 2 I got a packet of scratchings from the bar.To my utter horror and dismay they were tasteless, crunchy but tasteless, I was very,very angry I can tell you :evil:

I took it upon myself as a self righteous pint drinking,scratching eating English complainer to make a complaint. This simply can't be let to pass,it's just not cricket.

Today I opened an unexpected box from ole posty(nice chap)
Hurrah

To my delight 6 pkts of freebies.
Panman,if you want a packet to aid your recovery,pm ya address. Don't drop any on ya chest,you'll never find em amongst the bruises :shock:

Panman, start chomping on those pork scratchings and you'll be adding a visit to the dentist to your woes.

No, but I’ll have a look for that episode. I was on Top Gear once (very briefly) as my claim to fame, but I bet my tv moment was a lot less painful than yours!

Are you still considering a GS?
