I think that it is very true that the success stories stop posting soon
afterwards. Derry who had a PVP at Kings college by your consultant in 2003
being a case in point. I keep in touch with him and he has had no problems
apart from a bleed after doing heavy lifting.

I have never really understood the blood clot part as all the blood vessels
should have been sealed off. As it is day surgery and you go home as soon as
your urine is fairly clear, why should there be more blood? Two weeks from
now I hope to able to personally report another success story. Huw, you are
in danger of becoming the biggest success story since Patrick.
Derek.
