    Will be a challenge keeping the weight off these next few days given we’re at the coast surrounded by an endless array of cafes and restaurants. A foodies paradise. Long brisk walks on the beach each morning might help a little:

    200 cm (6’ 7.25”). They measure me in metres (2 M) not centimetres:). Surprised how quickly I’m adapting to the exercise. Initially use a PVC pipe / TRX clone to assist with balance the first few times. Talk about sore butt muscles, thought someone had stuck a knife in each side. I used to...

    Glad you like the bands, they’re fantastic. They can challenge even experienced gym junkies. So light and portable too. @Superbob glad to hear you’re coping ok. Beautiful winter weather here which is generally mild compared to many places around the world. Here’s today’s forecast (C not F)...

    Given that stress has caused far more aneurysm problems compared to exertion it would seem to be unwise putting you through this test.

    Speaking of planks this video is interesting. This guy is a very experienced physical therapist and trainer. Very highly regarded by many:

    9 weeks picture (shirt-free)

    Just curious if anyone here used Silicone gel on their scar to reduce it’s size / visibility? I’ve used it on smaller skin cancer / cyst removal scars and they are almost impossible to see even very close up. Certainly the result was much better than scars from earlier on where I didn’t use...

    No date as yet

    Must be frustrating. I’ve been in the waiting room for around eight years now with the aneurysm. But when it’s time I hope with private health cover surgery date will be more predicable.

    Tissue Valvers. How Old is Yours?

    If nose bleeds are a factor I’m definitely staying away from mechanical valve / warfarin. Have had regular nose bleeds all my life. Being tall others would stir me by putting it down to high altitude:unsure:.

    I don’t need the chocolate mousse for that, my wife reckons I’m like that all the time.

    We grow rock melons as well. As for chocolate pudding fruit (real name is Black Sapote) I’ll think of you next time we make this. The coconut cream can be replaced with low fat coconut flavoured evaporated milk if desired:

    Saw cardiologist

    Here’s our very tame local magpie (Mrs M) who enjoys gardening with us. Unfortunately in this instance she decided where my wife planted her new seedlings was a great place to sun bathe.

    What you should be thinking of is custard without any of the fat and processed sugar. Very healthy provided you don’t eat as many as me.

    Words can’t describe how nice these taste. Sweet, juicy, few seeds, like creamy custard mixed with a little cooked apple sauce. The variety we grow, Pink Mammoth, can get very large, have very few seeds and minus any grittiness near the skin like some other varieties. There’s now a red...

    Rigid fixation vs. sternal wires

    Small incisions from memory. Skin can stretch well. It’s all done inside the mouth. I’d had an earlier jaw surgery years prior to the fall. I also had those titanium plates removed. Rather amusing in what should have been a very short operation ended up taking near 90 minutes. During the...

    Rigid fixation vs. sternal wires

    I’ve had surgery for smashed jaw / cheekbones due to a fall. The titanium plates / screws used to hold the bones in place look similar to smaller version of sternalock. I had a couple removed as I didn’t like the feel of them under the skin. Quick and easy short operation under general...
