I always fancied seeing Cambridge too but never got there so I hope you enjoy having a look round.

The very best of luck to you when you have the second opinion assessment.

Good luck Mrbojangles. I do hope that all goes well for you.

Still rooting for you Mr B. Did you get to punt under the bridge of sighs? I remember doing that in 1950. So romantic except I was with my mate both of us doing our National Service. 🙄

Wishing you all the best of luck. 🙂 Got my fingers and toes crossed for you!

I went to Cambridge for the first time last summer for a girlie day with my mum. I slipped getting out of the punt and hurt my knee. So embarrassed! 😂

I have spent a lot of time in Cambridge. It's a beautiful city, with plenty to do and see, including excellent people watching.

The students may even be back when you go.

Have a lovely morning, and I wish you the very best of luck with your re-assessment. It can't be at all easy waiting.

There's a great David Hockney exhibition at The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, I'm sure you'll enjoy the town. You can be chauffeured in a punt if you've the energy too. Brilliant town.Good luck with your second opinion assessment MrB, I'll keep everything crossed. Peege

Oh. Good wishes for a successful second opinion on your lung transplant. I know that it is very important for you and how lovely to have a visit to Cambridge as a bonus. Take care and I hope that the oxygen bottle and walking stick don’t completely in way of the romance.

I am going through assessment as we speak. I have my last test may 4t. A cardiac angiogram. I will hopefully know by June if I meet the requirements.The assessment is the hardest. Very very busy meeting different Doctors and going through tests and then all of the sudden its done and then the final wait.

Don't be nervous, it is such an exciting wonderful journey with a positive outcome.

I have started a journal called my journey to transplant.

The front cover says,

" ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT and be prepared TO GET IT"

Good luck. Keep us posted

Boobear, the reason i’m nervous is the previous hospital declined me because of coronary artery disease as they felt my ticker wouldn’t be strong enough for such an operation.Hopefully they were wrong and the Papworth will have a different view..

Mr Bojangles, I can imagine there is a lot of jangling going on, nerve-wise. But keep a tune in your head and a shine on your shoes. Either way, there is a journey ahead, so in either direction you have my very best wishes.
