The Grizzly Bear Wrestling and Fray Bentos Pie Eating Champion of Wakefield will be back on't trails near you soon.
Great news.
Ton is the wee guy in the middle with the Senior Sweary Northerners on tour last September.

Westlife haven't aged well.
Thanks for the update, so pleased to hear. 🙂
Good news. Never met him but always one of the nice guys on here.
He'll soon be smiling again like this......

Probly already is!
HTN's most effective pedestrian control marshal!
Get well soon fella.
Westlife haven't aged well.
Oof! Take that!
Glad to hear the big man's on t'mend 🙂
am very glad to hear that ton is doing well,get better soon fella 😀
pleased to hear he's doing well - at the risk of sounding totally ignorant, was this a planned procedure for his heart (has AF of similar IIRR) or something else ?
either way, best wishes to you Tony
Well it's good he's out of the ITU, that's always the first step... I think you spend 24 hours in there monitored/under observation as a matter of course.
It sounded like pretty major surgery and it'll take time to be back up and running.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.
His lad says he'll be out this side of the weekend.
I guess that doesn't mean beers in North Bar on Saturday but it's progress.
Imagine how much anaesthetic it took to put him under, it'll still be wearing off now.

Oof! Take that!
there were only five people in Take that, idiot.
Back on topic, pleased to hear things are going well. Thanks for the updates. As far as Im aware this was a planned procedure
there were only five people in Take that, idiot.
Harsh!
Someone send him a scratch and sniff card with the odour of Beer on it, that'll wake him up 😆
if all went exactly to plan my expectation is 24hrs ICU followed by a similar timescale in HDU then best part of a week on ward..
things rarely go to plan and as your in a queue issues before you can hold up the men with knives for hours/days.. never mind your own procedure..
Looking forward to his posts again and more importantly hitting the trails with him.
Nbt - I think you forgot a smiley 🙄
I think we all know he was joking now shh and put his tea on
😉
Happy now
Oi junky just behave.
Can't. Make tea as I'm embarrassingly injured (yet again) 🙂
This is good news indeed. Where is that picture of him of him that you posted essel? (slightly off topic, I have a new bike and want to head north with it and that looks ideal)
Best wishes for a good recovery Ton
Teadrinker: Looks like Swaledale so we await Essel's confirmation
Jamie, sorry, manhugs.
Teadrinker: if you click through the pic is titled "Reeth ride"
Jamie, sorry, manhugs.
I'm sure he's ok. Besides, there were only 5 in Westlife - it wasn't really the point.
Boyband pedantry; how did my life end up like this?
Anybody remember that 90's boyband 'Special Needs'? 🙂
Jamie, sorry, manhugs.
I wouldn't. I'm quite grabby.

Thankfully not...
These guys never got the recognition they deserved.

(Sorry Ton, you know how it goes)
Missed the other thread and glad to here things seem to have gone well.
Look forward to seeing you back on here and back on a bike soon. There are fewer and fewer names on here from the 'good old days' so all the best for a full and speedy recovery 😉

Sure was Swaledale. That photo was at the bottom of Gunnerside Gill, had a great day out with Ton & the late Deejay, here on the left on 'The Moon'

firstly, i would like to thank everyone for all the good luck/get well wish. proper awesome everyone.... 8)
the pic above posted by druidh is not the outcome planned by my surgeon or me. and it came as a monster of a shock to wake up to it.
i went in for keyhole to remove my left atrial appendage, to stop blood pooling and reduce the risk of stroke massively.
when the surgeon went in, he saw my pulminary vein was perforated, and stopping ablations working.
he removed the sack, patched the vein, ablated me and for the 1st time in nearly 5 years in am firing on all cylinders in a proper sinus rhythm.
and hopefully will remain so.
now enough of the boring shit.........who has got a XL carbon tallboy going cheap.................. 8)
jesus tonight, that's a scar and a half. Hope the recovery is smooth, and that you are back better than ever.
Cool!
BTW, its all about fat bikes now ton 😉
Good luck and get well
Awesome news Tony, welcome back 🙂
Fsck me Ton, that's a man-sized scar and a half!!
Really, really glad it seems to have worked and I'm guessing that, if it has, that scar will be worth it. Plus which, you can show that off at parties and get free drinks with it!
Get well soon big man, there are trails out there that need you to ride them!
Now that's a scar. Those trails are going to feel sweeet! New bike ahoy!
Speedy recovery big fella.
Ton,chicks dig scars 😆 hope your wife does too.Great news,hopefully the AF is sorted now.
Yay.. great news Get well soon big man
Ton-great to hear you are up and about sort of. Best wishes and all that.
Enjoy your Tallboy.
Jaysus, I'd hate to see the other bloke. 🙂
Nice one Ton, take care.
