Richard seemed quite cheerful when I spoke to him briefly today. The new, technologically-augmented Richard has an artificial valve to replace the problem one. More soon.

Richard had his second operation today, he is out of theatre and in a stable condition. More updates to follow.

Richard should be moved out of the observation ward soon.
The surgeon mentioned to him that he was particularly proud of his own work, as he was able to repair the problem valve rather than replacing it.
Richard is feeling a lot better, and is looking forward to going home.

Operation was a success, doctors have been impressed with how quickly Richard has been recovering. He should be moved out of intensive care today.

Richard had his heart operation this morning, and is now in intensive care. More updates will be posted here, stay tuned.
