I hope they go the 'sonic smash' route, John. Quick, fairly painless, and excellent results. Good luck, mate.

Hello all,

I was sent out of hospital last month with a new filter fitted to prevent the 2 cannonballs rolling down the tubes and and back to work on light duties as but only firing on one cylinder. (like all Seagulls!!) Cannot do anything very energetic! (no change there then!)

Got to wait to go back and have them zapped with a laser! Not 'key hole' surgery but 'pee hole'. At least they knock you out so never felt a thing!

No idea when that will be, but told the filter will foul up if left for more than 3 months, so 1 month and counting. Good thing is the junior doctors have hopefully gone back to work so this may speed things up.

Please bear with me if you are after parts I have to rummage for, as getting to them is difficult.

Regards,
John

Hi John
Hope your feeling well? Most of us have experienced that unpleasant pain that these stones produce and the inconvenience to life. I had mine Zapped and awaiting the last scan results.Keep positive and I'm sure all will be well keep drinking the water!

Hello all, over 3 months waiting now and just running on one cylinder, like a Seagull. Am assured they will get back to me, as the bit of plastic they have left in has to be removed, but when is another matter! As you say, keep drinking the water!

Regards.,
John

I hope all went well, John. Take it easy, and make sure you're back to your Superhuman levels of fitness before you start your rummaging again!
