[#4387292]

So I'm doing the London to Brighton off road tomorrow as part of Team Paxton. 5 weeks ago I had my inguinal hernia repaired. Had an incision infection, chest infection and whilst out "pastering it up" I busted my tooth on an olive..... I suppose I should have added - will I die.......

On a plus note the Team has raised over £15000 for the British heart foundation....

Dunno if you'll die, I hope not. Take it easy and enjoy and well done on earning so much sponsorship.

All the best, I'm sure it'll go fine! Just had a hernia operation myself today, feeling a bit raw but had keyhole- so hoping for a reasonably quick recovery.

Post up how the ride goes!

Cheers guys. Roadwarrior - good luck with the repair. I had open surgery but the best advice I can give is eat loads of fruit or laxatives and use a pillow to cover the wound if you cough or sneeze. Oh and take it easy for a while. 🙂

£15K for london to brighton? On what, a roller skate? Or just well connected with "write it off against tax" types?!

If you have (or recently had) a chest infection [b]take it easy[/b]. Mate of ours kept training through a chest infection and ended up in hospital.

Done it. God knows how and I'm broken but it's done. Hardest thing I have ever done and also the proudest.

Jeesus I really am done in. Recommend it to anyone 🙂

A few businesses chipped in including a whopping 6.5K from a Chinese electronic manufacturer.

An amazing day with some truly amazing people 🙂
