Thanks so much Andy and Tom,
Very grateful for all the support. I will definitely have a chat with my boss on Monday – I think some posties have a trolley to push around rather than a bag which might be better – I'm keen to carry on as close to normal as I can for as long as possible.
I'm based in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire so have been to Gloucester Hospital so far.
Once again many thanks to all for the kind words and advice.
Mike
