Hi all, good news re Rion. He has just returned home from major surgery of his right carotid artery. He was going to have both done but complications on the right stopped that. Four hours surgery and sent home too early. Re-admitted to intensive care again but now home. Had a chat on Skype, good to see him smiling again. Pulled his dressing gown down to show me the bruising from his neck to below his chest. Cheers and Onward John Coleman
