I have been to the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford for the removal of an enlarged saliva gland.  Entered at 7.15 am on Friday, operated on at 10.30, came around from the anaesthetic at 11.30.  Despite being National Health, I had my own private ward, an excellent sleep that night, after I opened the window to let some of the hot air out. The government should be looking at its own establishments when trying to reduce carbon emissions.  A few radiator valves would not come amiss.  Was picked up at 10.30 on Saturday by Rosemary who had also visited (complete with grapes and magazine) on Friday.

Here is a picture of my scar.  Not sure about the stitching.
